Slow Start for 2016

It’s been slow going here on pretty much everything. Not a lot of enthusiasm just now for a multitude of reasons as well as lots of activity getting the house ready to sell and working through all the issues of pre-moving, packing, and researching new destinations.

In three weeks the house goes up for sale, so lots of prep work to make it presentable for buyers. There are items to get rid of, things to pack, lots of cleaning and clutter removal, all the crap one has to do to just get ready is exhausting. And due to new laws it can take up to 60 days to close on a property sale, so plenty of time to relax, not!

Once I get a firm offer then its off to find a new house somewhere in mid- to northern Michigan. Yeah, some anxiety there in moving to a state dominated by a feudal lord that cares nothing for the people that live there (see plight of Flint, Detroit, and others MI cities). So, going from the most cosmopolitan city in Texas to a third-world state I once loved for its forests, state parks, and devotion to outdoor recreation. After 30+ years away its sad to see what it now.

Anyway, days of traveling with lots of butt time in the car looking at new homes, and hopefully finding something to make an offer on before returning one last time to pack up, say goodbyes, and get out once the sale is complete.

So, not much energy or enthusiasm for writing just now. Still lots of ideas and editing work to do but I find it hard to get motivated. Too many changes in the wind and I’m not sure my choices are correct.
