So it's a dramatic title and it isn't. Xhurch life is hard in a sense. I've had to forfeit a handful of domestic luxuries; shower, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and in the early days, heat and kitchen sink. I'm happy to say I've been enjoying the latter two amenities for some time now—life without would have truly been shit.
One of my two electric ranges broke back in November so I've been running on a single cylinder in the kitchen (Comfort Zone CZ-SS95 burner). Of course there's always the Chefmate Toaster Oven and Broiler which continues to impress me with its reliability and efficiency. Quorn Chick'n Nuggets for example can be prepared in a quarter the time it takes to bring a conventional oven to temperature, and with no compromise in taste or texture!
The oven's interior dimensions are of course nothing to boast about.

Outside of the kitchen, which sees a lot of the same meals prepared over-and-over, I'm continually impressed by the versatility of the xhurch's interior topography. The pews, heavy as they are, have found themselves in a host of different positions, coinciding with the different events that have been held here.
Quiet concerts, and talks—notably, the xhurch's lecture series—have been highlights of the xhurch's brief but nurturing trajectory.
A loud-and-proud Halloween concert was—well for one super rad—but also an important, if ill-advised episode for the xhurch, as it spurred instantaneous feedback from the neighbors and local law enforcement. This forced pressing matters of diplomacy in the ensuing weeks, and I'm glad to be in a position now to say the xhurch's neighbors are an insightful bunch, with great vision for the neighborhood, and a mind open to possibility.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of the Xhurch's 5 months of (hyper) activity was the nativity, which has been reported on in previous posts, and at other blog(s). This will surely evolve into a sort of holiday tradition, if the Xhurch-and-I can continue to make our marriage work.
Here's to luck and chance and everything nice in the new year!

No matter what level of your fitness, developing a proper fitness program will allow you to make
improvements to your golf swing. One last thing that isn't mandatory but recommended is to set up a Pay - Pal account to process your payments. This can be achieved by adding more weight, increasing the number of repetitions, or by adding on additional sets.
