Okay, so, we had ourselves a moving of abodes -- so that was a bit of a time. But everything is now more or less in order, and the new place looks something like a home.
Work/life balance, alas, is slipping somewhat.
There's been some disposal and divestment. More from my family than from myself, but I have helped with it, and feel lighter rather than sadder for it.
Today in particular was rather accomplished -- did some yard care for the first time in about 13 years, and didn't mind it.
I will admit that I've been reluctant to share much information about the new place -- I've been feeling the need to hide from a lot of things. And I get the sense that some conflicts are brewing in the distance that may be unavoidable.... but I still want to try. At least for now.
I'll likely be going over and reviewing the first few sections of the Hierarchy of Needs for a bit. It's been hard to get out of those layers, if only because every time I start a new project, someone close gets sick, or work demands increase, or something flares up. I suppose that, after all these years, I'm coming to terms with the fact that life will never be nailed down. That said, I do want to do away with the feeling of being buffeted by fate or going from crisis to crisis. So too have many in recent times, I would imagine. I've just been having those feelings for a lot longer.
