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.

Well, that move didn't work... · 8:43pm Nov 6th, 2023

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 down enough to write coherently and work on the latest story. Hard to do with a ten-year-old going in and out of my room....

Twenty-four hours to drive there, twenty-two hours to recover, then three days to settle in before I can hope to start settling in. A very nice bar is nearby, just have to remember not to abuse it. Unlimited fish and chips Mondays after five. This place, to be precise. https://www.crownandanchorlv.com/

Great place, been going there for some time. Don't worry, I gave up on getting drunk decades ago. A couple of beers with a chip butty or something else is okay.

Sorry to hear that it did not work out. Hopefully there were still some positive aspects amongst the not so good ones which have led to this next move.

Good luck with rolling the miles under the wheels and also packing and re-establishing yourself and Blip in your new place.

$1500 for the U-haul, $200 for the hotel, $1400 for apartment. Yes, this will be worth it. It's the drive there that's a killer.

A new adventure! :D

well crap friend sad to here this did not work out for you.

hope things get better soon.

Depending on the part of Texas not working so well probably not a surprise as with all the people moving there costs are going up. Little worried about that happening locally with intel moving into the state a few other tech investments
