It’s only 2pm and I’m pooped. Ted and I reclaimed, or more accurately, laid claim, to the kitchen/dining room area this morning. I finally packed up the last box of kitchen stuff that belonged to the landlord and we put it in the little storage shed in the back yard, which proved (to my surprise and relief) to be capable of holding all those boxes of kitchen stuff. Then we put all of our own stuff away. *Most* of it had been away, but the kitchen table was piled up…

And to top off the evening, from , 1) Why Ireland? Lifetime dream come to fruition. My grandfather was born in Ireland, so my sister and I have (through a literal grandfather clause!) citizenship, which makes it comparatively easy to move here. There are political and financial reasons, too (or there might be the latter if the dollar wasn’t so low against the euro), but mostly it’s because we *could*. It’s an adventure! 2) Why Cork?

(Given that Ebear’s first novel(s) were selected for and won a Campbell, there may be some justification for this, actually.) It sort of gives me something to aspire to, and at the same…
I have decided…
…to slack off and read books. I do need to do the SBX4 proposal, so I won’t be slacking off 100%, and I’d like to get the Chance beatsheets done. But I’ve mostly decided I’m just going to relax, read, take walks, go into Cork, do all that sort of mellow low-key thing, and not feel badly for not getting more Work Things done. I’m going to work on unpacking the house, too, so I can get Nook set up in time to be able to write HOUSE OF CARDS…
