Remember that whole moving thing? Looks like my family’s committed to making it happen before Winter this year. That’s a tight schedule! Lots of house projects, lots of packing.
The plan is to sell while the housing market is still hot, and then buy after the housing market has cooled down. We know we want to move, but we don’t exactly know where. We just know we want a place where we can self-sustain as much as reasonably possible, and I don’t think I need to show you the current state of grocery store aisles to explain why.
Since I was bit by the collector bug during a … brighter decade, moving means my video game collection has to come with me. As you can imagine, a collection like this must get packaged and handled with care.
Pictured are the first two forty-five gallon totes. My estimate is that I’ll end up filling three or four more of these before I’m done. When you’re in just about any collecting hobby, folks will often show you pictures of their moving day almost as a warning: If you let your collection grow large enough, moving it is probably going to be more of a pain-in-the-butt than it needs to be.
I’m halfway through the comprehensive edit of the mil sci-fi novel now and it’s coming together quite well, but working as a professional editor has taught me a few depressing things about this industry that I’ll have to share with you in another post.
My life is in a bit of a whirlwind right now, so posts are still going to happen less often for the time being. I do plan to continue with the ADHD topic a little more in the future, and then take another look at that comic panel to see if it makes more sense given what we’ve learned (about magi and other dark things). And once the dust settles, I’ll focus on the art of writing again. I’m picturing myself cozy from the Winter’s snow, working on a manuscript. That sounds nice.
