After much screaming and crying and purchasing of hosting plans and gnashing of teeth I’ve decided to stop lying to myself about my ability to tolerate Blogger’s CMS. (It’s hideous! It’s clunky! And it’s not even lemon-scented!) Figured I’d go ahead and make the best of WP’s offer to spot me the cost of domain ownership for a year. Even with the block formatting nonsense, it’s still my much-preferred CMS.

Domain is transferring now (again, after the aforementioned screaming, crying, gnashing) and I am hoping (although this did not bear out with my other blog, though that was a spiritual essay blog, a niche that I desperately need a break from) that having this cost me actual dollars will motivate me to both work harder on my Etsy store and make more of an effort towards writing for this blog. While I don’t really have the free time to opine about gardening (and indeed don’t really have access to a deerproof section of garden), I still can revel in the few chances a week I get to cook something out of rescued produce. Because now I work somewhere that lets me rescue discarded food and donate it or (if it’s expired and I trust it) take it home and eat it. It’s the bomb diggity.
