Thanks were given. Whatever griping and sniveling I may do from time to time, I really do understand and appreciate how lucky I am as you can see from my missive below.
I find I'm busying myself with house stuff. For the past five or so years I have had a houseguest with a cat. Now that they're gone, I feel like it's time to get back to some upgrades. I am also slowly working through a purge of Stuff in anticipation of eventually selling the place. I realize those two things are at odds. You should never upgrade in advance of selling because you never make your money back. We'll see how that develops.
I feel a bit weird not having a writing project active for the first time in a quarter-century. For now I still plan to hold off on the next project until retirement. Bit by bit, I'm making progress towards that time and the start of the next chapter.
