Once more, I’ve waited until the absolute last minute to post this month. In my defense, there were extenuating circumstances which include but are not limited to the fact that I’m moving in four days rather unexpectedly and the fact that this very website was down for almost a week with me.
The website being down was likely a result of my having a new blog window open for over a week which at some point stopped responding to the rest of the website because I was logged in and out and closed and opened my computer and browser so often, which then caused an internal error that spread as I failed to deal with the initial issue. Big props to my dad for fixing in fifteen minutes what plagued me and the 24 hour Hostgator support for over a week. Anyways- the site’s back up and that procrastination excuse is gone.
The moving rather unexpectedly is still a thing I’m contending with. I haven’t even been at my current apartment for a year but they informed us we wouldn’t be able to renew our lease because the building wants to renovate. So back on the moving grind, where thankfully we found a place within two blocks of where we are now after a few weeks of searching and panicking. Fortunately, it’s bigger and in theory a better place to live. Unfortunately, we have to move in the middle of a work week. So if anyone in the NYC area is free next Thursday…. I’ll buy you beer and pizza if you help! You only have to take boxes/minimal furniture DOWN stairs, as my new place is on the first floor.
In spite of my already having a creative project in the can in 2018, it’s been a frustrating start to my year. I had savings goals and creative goals and personal goals and all of them have basically been put on hold because of the move and will be put on hold for an indeterminate amount of time. I hate not planning for big changes like this, and I HATE moving in the city. Makes me wistful for the days of moving around in Oregon, where everyone had a car and a nearly guaranteed parking spot and elevators or at least less stories to houses and apartments.
I also tried to record a vlog two days ago, since I’m late on that as well, but it was out of focus and the audio randomly cut out halfway through so now I have to find time to do that AGAIN. How’s my 2018?? Frustrating.
This is enough writing for a blog for now. See you in a day or two for the next one because I’m running out of time and like hell am I conceding a NYR this early in the year.
Toodles!
