For those that hadn’t noticed I have been and am going to be out of the loop for a while, at least on the post/read blogging circuit. I can still be reached by my GMail email address; if you don’t have it and want it, post here and I’ll send it to you. Nothing particular is going on, but I’ve been slacking too much reading stuff on the internet and so I need to get priorities straightened out. I had a great Thanksgiving and OMG there’s five inches of snow outside WTF?
xxoo

Today I had trouble sleeping because the dogs and cats were bickering on top of me. So shortly after the boys went to work, I went to get some stuff at Costco. I got potatoes for Thanksgiving. I got beef for Raymond and I. I did a lot of walking. I’d only had two hours of sleep but that was okay.
At one, I left Costco, in Tukwila, WA, intending to go home and pass out.
At three, I arrived at Flying Lab, in Seattle, WA, on Queen Anne Ave. On the way there, I drove in two complete circles around the Renton Municipal Airport, cruised past Diamond Lil’s Casino three times, discovered the worst five lane road in the county, and crossed Pike St and Pine St. three different times (without making any circles at all).
I’ve been to this Costco at least four times before. I decided to try a different exit from the parking lot, and it went downhill from there.
At Flying Lab, I ate lunch and huddled in somebody’s office chair until six, when my groceries were transferred from the Jeep to the car, and I went home with Kevin and Raymond. Tomorrow I have to ride to work with them and bring one of the vehicles home again. God, I hope I don’t make any wrong turns.

Apparently my blog was a lot more interesting when I was at work. I’m sorry!
In between novel work I’ve been playing Star Wars Legos, Neverwinter Nights 2, and a bit of World of Warcraft. I’m also rereading the Belgariad. I chase the dogs around a lot. I gained a lot of weight during the move and I’m trying to bring my step-count up but it’s been raining. Shopping is good on those days but I’ve also been sleeping during the day a lot and that cuts into shopping time.
I don’t have nightmares about moving or being back at work nearly as much as I did last month. I’m starting to have other dreams again– but I haven’t yet recaptured the trick of remembering them, a trick stolen by the Zoloft (as far as I can tell).
The house is still basically a disaster area. It’s better in some ways than before we moved (we rarely run out of forks) but there’s still an enormous amount of unpacking to get done and it’s been hard to motivate anybody to work on that on weekdays. I keep wanting to post pictures of our house but I want it to be clean first, too. And unpacked. It’s definitely going to have some nice rooms once everything is in place and it shouldn’t be too hard to keep decent once everything is in place.

my current mode, inspired by anime and superpowered epic fantasy: wherein one undergoes character growth and is rewarded with power growth and plot progression in response
George R. R. Martin: undergo character growth, be punished by plot /regression/

I’ve just realized I forgot to outline the second half of one character’s Thrones plot arc.
I’m feeling the old familiar sensation of ‘this is too hard, this is too messed up, best bet is to throw it all away and start something new’. Yucky yuck.
Edited to add: Still, I have to take some deep breaths. It’s more important to nail this part of the development cycle than the next part. Oh lord, the dogs are bickering again.
