It's been months since I've been able to fully enjoy LiveJournal - my guilty pleasure. Not since my life was completely turned upside down the day my hubs said to me, "let's sell the house." (The house that we had just paid off, mind you.) Being the cooperative life partner that I am, and also thinking it was time for a change, I went along. I had no idea how that project would turn my world upside-down and exhaust me to the core. But now as I sit at my keyboard seven months later in a new (new to us, that is) house, I am enormously grateful for all the blessings that have come my way. I'm very blessed that I have family to not only help with the heavy lifting, but also provide us with roof over our heads and even make us dinner during those long weeks when everything we owned was in boxes. I finally am surrounded by my own things again and am overwhelmed with the privilege of having a lovely home - so much more than I ever imagined. Although I feel a little out of my element when it's not a traffic jam that slows me down, but rather an Amish buggy. And the dominant fashion is camo print. Oh well. I can still count on my fanfic community to not only understand, but encourage my eccentricities. You've all helped me grow and I only wish to continue that journey. You're all welcome to come along.
