Little Home in the Interm...

   Official word is, I have moved my family into a temporary home while we sell the house. The minions, the pets, Fuzzy and I are now living in a modest 3-bedroom rental. Some have asked me, "how do you like the new place?" My answer is: small. I have down-sized from 2600 sq ft to 1300 sq ft.

Plus side: less to clean, less to pay (rent), easy exit plan, no second floor, trees, it's only till June, they are pet-friendly.

Down side: half my kitchen is in storage, the walls are so thin you can hear a spider fart on the other side of the house, the floors have no carpet (can you say "cold feet"), if you flush it steals the cold water from your shower, smaller fridge, no pantry, electric range.

Yes, I'm complaining. I do that on occasion. 

Truth is, it's only for 8 months, and I can tolerate almost anything for 8 months. (three pregnancies proves that). I'm also looking forward to the end result of being back with the majority of the Clan.

On other fronts... Micro is a solid B. Algebra is an A. Classes are going well. I'm not sure if I'm going to pick up an online course next semester, things will be more hectic than usual. Especially with the trip to Wetlandia in January. Right now we're looking at having Mick fly down and help me drive the u-haul up to Clan territory so I can take the storage run up ahead of the move. I would then fly back after Squirt makes an appearance.

All-hallows has landed with a vengeance at my place and the porch has sprouted bats, spiders, skulls and vampire pumpkins. Unfortunately, my camera has disappeared somewhere in the move, so use your imaginations. I mentioned to Demon that I think my mental health is improving, I haven't seriously decorated for All-Hallows since 2010.

And now I think I'll go watch the new Dracula series....
