I did get around to setting up my office this past week. A lot of moving things around and there were some tight fits, but everything is here and my computer is running again. I have my two monitor set up again so I can work the way I am used to. Not that I have … Continue reading Up and Running
Things are moving along with the unpacking and getting the new house in order. I even got a start on my office last week. It will be on hold again for a bit while I work on the dining room, but there are books on shelves and I can sit at my desk. I can't … Continue reading Settling In
Yes, we are finally all in here in southern New York. But it was a process. There were times when I suspected some cosmic force didn't want us to go. Ah, New England. She is a jealous mistress, and doesn't let go easily! The first run went pretty well. We rented a truck from U-Haul … Continue reading Adventures in Moving
We are almost out of here. Well, almost in a 2 week sort of way. We have a truck reserved for this weekend, and are hiring some professional moving muscle to load it with whatever packed boxes can fit into it. If there's room, we will add a few more things. That will happen tomorrow. … Continue reading It’s Getting Closer
And then it's back to packing! Things are getting real as far as the move goes. We are renting a truck and some load-in muscle on Friday and then heading for NY on Saturday morning. The plan is to take as many boxes (and other things if there is space) as we can. The BaldMan … Continue reading Quick Update
Actually I guess it's more absent with leave, because I am the one who let myself go missing from the blog. Or something like that. Anyway, yeah, I have been neglecting things here for a while, haven't I? It's getting dusty in here, too. *cough, cough* I have just been consumed with packing for our … Continue reading AWOL
That is all. (Nothing major. Just brain overwhelmed at the moment.) ===================== Want something new to add to your 2021 reading lists? Might I suggest one of my books? I have written science fiction, fantasy, and urban fantasy stories. There are novels, novellas, and shorter pieces to fit everyone's reading time. There are even some … Continue reading Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
Until we go off on an honest-to-goodness vacation! We are renting, with the BaldMan's sister and her husband, and his parents, a house in Vermont for a week. After more than a year of not going anywhere unnecessary, this almost feels like some sort of escape or something. We don't have any specific plans for … Continue reading Five Days and Counting…
We bought a house. In Vestal, NY, which is in the southern part of the state, near Binghamton. We have been talking about the idea of moving for a bit, and the opportunity to actually do it came up this Spring, so we decided to go ahead with it. The move will put us closer … Continue reading So, We Did a Thing
A collection of things that have been going on around here of late: We lost my Mom in early May. She was 93, and had a stroke last August which she recovered from relatively well. She had some weakness, although she was walking a little. Her speech was slurred at times and she had trouble … Continue reading Miscellanea
And So On...
