Westward Ho! Updatery

Y'know, I lead a relatively minimalist lifestyle. I don't impulse-buy, I clear out the clutter on a regular basis, and if something is neither useful nor personally relevant, I tend to not keep it. Plus, I have a 1 bedroom apartment that is not overcrowded.

So how the hell have I accumulated so much STUFF?

Meanwhile, last night my sub-tenant was approved* by the board (contrary to the horror stories you hear about co-op boards, they mostly spent the interview talking about cats and restaurants.  Which actually mirrors my experience with the previous board quite well).  The feline transport has been confirmed. And I have a line on movers who are both not-obviously-incompetent** and within my price range, so huzzah!

All I need to do now is finish packing, send things off to storage, and buy a plane ticket.  Oh, and finish this book revision and the novella revisions, yeah, that too....

currently under the knife:

The language lesson continued as they passed into the deep valley between two hills, and the trail curved and began to rise again, up into the mountains, until Bernardo, still holding his instrument in both hands, came to stand in front of them, forcing them to rein in the horses.

"Isobel."  Her name in his mouth had an almost-familiar lilt to it, the way her father or mother might have said it. "Ready yourself, bruja. It comes."


* we assume, anyway, since they were talking about move-in dates and whatnot, but the Official Word will come on Monday
**really all you can hope for with movers, until they prove otherwise by the actual move

Stuff

It's amazing, isn't it? While I *do* impulse buy sometimes, it's almost always something small, that won't take up too much room, and that is pleasing to have.

And then all those pebbles gang up and threaten to become an avalanche.

Good luck with the move and with clearing out the excess pebbles.

Moving is traumatic, but it ends!

I need to work harder at the getting rid of stuff practice. Yay! you'll be out here!
