RDU represent!

if you couldn't tell, i've taken a long break from blogging. this summer i've decided to start up again.
first things first. i'm in durham for a couple months this summer. i'm living with my brother(I---), sister in law (K---), and their cat(Pepito). i'm working part-time doing some construction-type work, but it's mostly hauling and dumping and organizing building materials. though, on thursday i worked on a bathroom demolition project. it was my first time tearing down walls, it was fun. with my other time i will be volunteering at SEEDS and Anathoth Community Garden

i also have a long "to-do" list. mostly crafty things, books to read, and things to try. i'm getting into embroidery (jellyfish on throw pillows is the one i'm working on now) and i've read two books thus far:
--DBC Pierre's Vernon God Little
--Javier Marias' Your Face Tomorrow: Fever and Spear
