It has begun

[rolanni]

So, Steve and I, and our agent, did the final walk-through of the new house this afternoon.  All the repairs we had requested have been done.  We're still dithering over the relative uses of two rooms -- which only matters because whichever room wins Master Bedroom, we need to buy a piece of furniture in order for it to function in its designated capacity.  The two spaces under dispute are very different in size and layout, so -- first decision.

Anyway -- the walk-through was the beginning of an event-filled weekend.

Tomorrow. . .is closing.  After that, we'll entertain the locksmith, then more measuring,  discussion; paint chips and. . .yeah, all that stuff.

Saturday, the Hugo finalists will be announced.  And more boxes will be packed.

Then!  Hat Trick Sunday, which is not only Easter, and April Fool's Day, but also! the fortieth anniversary of the day Steve and I moved in together.

Monday. . .an early visit to the vampyres for both of us, then more packing, I daresay, and a quiet day at home to prepare us for!

Tuesday.

Tuesday is when All The Pros have been summoned to the new house, where they will  Scrutinize the Situation specific to their skill-sets in order to produce estimates and set timetables.  At least one of those pros will fill the oil tank.

Wednesday, for a change of pace, there's a doctor's appointment inked in, but for the foreseeable while, packing will be our lives.

So!  What's coming up across your weekend?

In the subject of moving, my mother recently had realtors "stage" her house for sale. The realtor in charge was so pleased by the set of Liaden hardbacks because they "had the right look" for the end table in the living room. She wanted the living room to look "young and active." ... So there ya go.

Good look! Moving is such a crazy time, but the new beginning and new spaces are lovely as well.
Tonight I'm singing for two Tenebrae (Good Friday) services. Saturday morning I have rehearsal for Easter morning. Easter morning I sing in three services. Then Family Time! ... I think I'm going to play computer games in between all that mad merriment.

In ref the 40th Anniversary of the amalgamation of Lee and Miller, many happy returns of that red letter day. I am vicariously excited for your customizing and taking possession of your new space. It seems appropos that the end of the previous cycle and the beginning of the new cycle comes with a change of location and a consequent change in energy matrix. The current book is a transitional book, and needed a transition to make it work. With beautiful timing, the universe handed you one. May you transition as effortlessly and seamlessly as possible.

Happy anniversary of combining households, which just makes it serendipitous that you found your new house at this time. Does it have a view of the river? That would be great, since you had wanted to move to the beach. It's not the ocean, but it's a nice river.

Groovy authors, auspicious anniversary, new digs--that's a satisfying narrative arc, right there. May it be as fun to live as it would be to read.
