Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deeps something helpless that wants help from us.

The house is looking more livable now...but still lots to do. And an apartment to pack up/clean. Sorry to all the prospective tenants coming to take a look...just don't have time to tidy up much. I can't wait until I get moved into my new house. It will be SO nice.
