1. On Moving and Writing. They do not mix. Since July 1, when we got the keys to our new apartment, we’ve painted three rooms in two days. And we’ll be officially moving on Thursday. Since the first, I have written 0 words. Why?
2. I Crave Routine. That about explains it.
3. Additional Woes. Though we are moving on Thursday, we will not be able to get our internet set up until the following Monday. I have my iPhone, of course, so I’ll never be truly out of touch, but going four days without in-home internet is a frustration I would rather forego.
4. On the Other Hand. We painted our apartment a very smart-looking pearl gray. This is because it was originally a flesh/ham/peach-toned “neutral.” Electing not to puke every time we walked through the doorway, we made the right choice and beautified our new home.
5. One Final Positive to Offset the Three Complaints. I’m quite enjoying the book I’m reading, a 600-page first-in-a-trilogy monster called Devices and Desires by K. J. Parker. Everyone is spying on everyone else so far; it’s enormously entertaining. I’ll review the first volume once I’ve finished reading it.
