If you're living on borrowed time, do you have to return it?

    Settled in Vegas, with my faithful feline furball Blip sleeping peacefully on my bed (and NOT trying to cover the keyboard...). Been a while since I lived on my own, with little support and less companionship. I'm managing. At least I got WHATDG finished, and planning another trip, on a different ship, down a different river, to a different set of problems. First problem is fitting it in between

    Well, that move didn't work...

    Moving to Texas proved to be a bust, so, next month (2 Dec) I'll be packing my goods and heading to Las Vegas. Well, me and Blip, that is. Looking forward to peace, quiet and privacy. Living with a family that without my roomie's generosity would be living out on the streets is very taxing on my sanity and my wallet. The hope is there that with my new living situation, I will be able to settle

    Back to writing, I... hope...

    Started chapter 18 on Voyager, what's on the LST, where did the ponies go, and stuff like that. Hope I can keep up the pace. First writing since October. Let's see what happens next.

    Texas, part two

    in new home in Texas now. Blip made the trip successfully and is now either getting acquainted with the other six cats, or is cowering behind the bed. If so, she'll come out.

Relocation anxiety · 10:47pm Mar 8th, 2023

As of the date of this writing, I am sixteen days out from completing my move from cold, snowy, frosty Salt Lake City to warm, sunny, salubrious San Angelo, Texas. Most everything is shipped, except for some final necessities which I will ship next week. (for example, my bathroom scale, spare clothes, and other assorted bric-a-brac that makes me comfortable).

Am I looking forward to this? Yes, to get out from under my sister's presence. Yes to go to a place where cats await to teach me how to cuddle a wonderful kitty again. Yes, to get into warmth. Then why have I had trouble sleeping four out of the last seven days? My zolpidem get mixed with something else? (got a new supply day before yesterday and slept like logs past two days).

Will this relocation restore my ability to not only write, but keep track of what I am doing? I can only hope. I can't say I like feeling miserable, but this seems to be my baseline state of affairs. Miserable, exhausted, unoptimistic. I get my disability settlement finally, and my response can be explained as 'yay'.

May the few days in Vegas help, including the BattleBots show thurs night. Finally found the arena. (one block east of Caesar's Palace, south side of street. I think the Koval bus goes by it. Have to look)

Will say more when I have more to say. Stay tooned.

I hope you'll be ok. *huggles*

Drop me a line if you need an ear, friend!

I arrive at Fort Worth just a few days later. I'm hoping for warm weather too. I hope it does you good.

Tail high!

Recently moved out for the first time. It is stressful beyond belief. Dealing with the letting agent, fixing up all the shit the last tenant left behind, switching over all the utilities, telling various bailiffs to sod off because their debtor doesn't live here anymore, buying furniture, learning where everything is in the area, and starting a new job just for good measure. This is why I write stories about happily living on Sweet Apple Acres just farming with the Apples. :ajsmug:

this is awesome news friend.
i hope you get every thing straightedge out and back in order.
