That pretty well sums up the past few weeks. I won’t go into a whole blow-by-blow, I’ve complained enough (or have I), but the overarching sense I’m getting right now from the people around me is that they’re disappointed/annoyed/disgusted/whatever that *I* am not more excited about the move. Hey Universe, I’m getting on with it. I’m doing what needs to be done. But I don’t have to be HAPPY about every new thing you throw in my path.

I didn’t do so well on the walking front this week. I haven’t been doing so well this month. But I got out a couple times. It’s nice that it’s staying light noticeably longer in the evenings. Sunset here is now 5pm…just a month ago it was 4:30.  And it’s another half-hour 45-minutes after that before it’s dark. I get to see a little color in the sky now.

Camo tree.

Christmas decorations still up?? Respect.

Sorry, dude.

Guess where this is.

Good morning.

My boss told me about some chairs on the side of the road on her way to work. Then *I* saw some chairs on the side of the road on my way to work. Shockingly, same chairs.

Packing time.

Surprise snow.

I’m going to let my porch rocking chair go. I’ve been dragging it around with me from place to place since 1995. I bought it from the homeowners of our second “married” house (see below), who, it turns out, are the grandparents of one of Katie’s good longtime friends. I’ve offered it to her first. If she doesn’t want it I’ll try to sell it. I don’t have a covered outdoor area at the new place and I’m continuing to downsize.

My headstone is going to read, “Finally Done Downsizing.”

Here’s the front porch with the rocking chair behind (cute cute) Katie.

Found one on Zillow from a recent sale. I loved that house.

I did a little video of where I am in the moving process (SPOILER ALERT: not too far in). It’s like 3 minutes long. I feel bad now, I never did a “here is the apartment all nicey-nice video.” I never felt “done.” So now you’re getting additional UNdone.

Have spent most of my 3-day weekend so far clearing stuff out and packing. Stopped by the new place yesterday to drop off half the security deposit to hold it for me. I guess it’s really happening (insert crazy face emoji here). Have continued looking at the apartment rental ads (it’s a little addicting) Just In Case…but so far have seen nothing any better, not even close. CHEAPER, yes.

The blog might be a little spotty the next couple weeks, as time for shooting and posting is a little low in supply right now.

Hope everyone has a good week ahead xoxo
