I see by my outfit...

...that this is going to be a very busy week.

Actually, today is rather laid-back (ignore the running around in circles and the declarations that this book will be the death of me; business as usual at this stage, and actually a positive sign), but things start to rev up tomorrow with a podcast interview, then two flavors of medical visits on Wednesday, and a end-of-week in-house interview with The Maine Edge.  We have also just been told that one of the old stone houses in Old Orchard Beach/Ocean Park is for sale at a price that is...above our touch, but not that much above our touch.  We need to think seriously about whether we can fit two writers and four cats in 1,036 square feet, with no basement.  And if we really want to add, "drive four hours round trip to look at a house" into this week's mix, especially because!

I really need to print out the penultimate draft of Alliance on Sunday and use next week to go through it for the final edit (The Final Edit).

So!  How's your week shaping up?

OOB has an awful lot of condos and townhouses. Aside from the stone house there was another a little less -- same sq ft but claimed a 5000 ft loft. I wonder how that works.

I think someone added too many zeroes.

Most condos don't allow cats. Or they allow "two" cats. And there's the issue of condo fees, which can go up at whim, so I hear.

There are a buncha mobile homes in OOB, too, many of them for sale at Quite Reasonable Prices, but the land rent is $500 +/- and it, too, can go up at whim.

I like to fix as many of my costs as possible, being the freelancer that I am.

Somehow I can't imagine you living in one of those condos -- sort of like beehives. Townhouses are not as bad inasmuch as many don't have pet restrictions if you are buying them. They also don't have condo fees. Their biggest downfall is the stairs -- the whole reason I moved from one to a ranch house.
