it is Monday, & we are here
holy cats, is it monday
did i mention we accidentally a house?
what worked?
doing my deep breathing, playing lots of zombie castaways, extensive napping
next time i might ...
... not be starting the process of buying a house right before Battlemoor, idek?
although next time i might remember that people visiting means not much else gets done & that's okay
the hard
the HOUSE, there is going to be a HOUSE, we are all going to be SAFE, unless the house DOES NOT HAPPEN, which is PRETTY POSSIBLE because this is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
rommate owns SO MANY THING, SO MANY, & moving all of her THING is gonna suck SO SO SO MUCH (due to being poor & moving more than ten times in the last ten years I own like six Thing, I will be moved in a week & unpacked in two)
also ACCIDENTALLY HOUSE & BATTLEMOOR & CHRISTMAS IS COMING & also i am still working on redoing the labels & getting itchy to start redesigning my roommate's website & TOO MANY THING AUGH
also also there is Unfortunate Personal Politics involving Battlemoor & who is & isn't coming up with us & when people are available to work & when they're not & UGH I CANNOT EVEN WITH THIS WHY CAN I NOT HAVE DEPENDABLE MINIONS
the good
holy shit a house? & it is BIG (3000-something square feet for like $129 thousand, possibly only because it's _weird_, it belonged to an artist (i typed 'beloved' first which is also true i am pretty sure), it has KILNS which is the only thing that made Rowan agree to somewhere in town, the ceilings are low enough for us to reach up & touch & all three of us are short, there is a kiva fireplace, it is adobe & thus stays pretty cool on its own, did i mention it is a HOUSE that WE WILL OWN & thus WE WILL BE SAFE??
approximately a zillion people have offered to help us move, even if only half of them actually manage anything it'll be about as not-sucky as a move is likely gonna be, also my roommate is committed to continuing to reduce her Stuff -- it's either gonna find a place in the new house, or be Gone
Medium-Sized Child is coming to Battlemoor with us & IS a dependable minion & also this gets him away from his mother for like a week which is a really, really Good Thing
the plan
make stuff, label stuff, sell stuff, pack stuff, move stuff, fix stuff, get lots of stuff done, get through Battlemoor & then housebuying & then moving & then Christmas & then I get to sleep sometime in January holy shit it's gonna be a long couple months
also, napping
also unrelatedly my oldmancat is feeling SO GOOD he just zoomed across my desk like three times & is now stomping around the house SHOUTING

Date: 2017-08-21 10:24 pm (UTC)I had a dream once that houses were the larval form of spaceships and they were just waiting for the right inhabitants to grow bigger so they could take off. But they would never take off unless the inhabitants wanted to travel in space because spaceships are, apparently, VERY BIG on both consent and having appropriate company on their travels. Until then they just sleep and let people live in them.
I think it works better in countries where the houses are mostly detached. Here the house we rent is attached not only to the ground but also to the houses on either side. So I guess we would have to wait until the entire row had the right inhabitants if it was going to grow into a spaceship and take off.

Date: 2017-12-24 10:57 pm (UTC)Thank you -- we're getting settled in now, & it's LOVELY.
Also your VLA pics are (okay, no surprise) WAY nicer than mine.

Date: 2017-12-24 11:46 pm (UTC)I would love to see your place when you get the kiln fired up, the only problem is that we have two standard poodles and a blue tick hound. I suppose if we corralled your kitties in the house and let our dogs roam your back yard it might be OK. Thank you re: my VLA pix. I've been shooting for a long time and take pride in what I put up, not that all of my pix on my web site are top notch, but I think all of them have value of some sort. The first batch of VLA photos were from the government shutdown a few years back: when the VLA was shut down, they parked the telescopes pointing straight up. It was too good an opportunity to pass up, so I made the trip. The second set were when the shutdown had been worked out, but it was going to take a few days for them to gather their workers back who had scattered to the winds, so we had a chance to make another trip. Found an excellent little bar/restaurant in Socorro, unfortunately it closed the following year.
