Alas

While I am still reading and trying to be healthy, I have had to abandon my summer project.

My house being on the market for so long and not selling prompted my realtor to suggest I find a new place and go ahead and move so that investors (i.e. people who want to turn my home of the last three years into another shithole rental just like all the other once nice townhomes on this street) are more likely to buy an empty house.

So, the last few weeks have been incredibly busy looking for and finding a great new apartment, packing up the house, and preparing to move.  I get keys tomorrow and will slowly move over the week until I have a moving truck and assistance with big items on Thursday.

I imagine I'll hit 30 books by the end of the summer, but the 25 lbs lost will have to be a goal for a future date.

Hope summer has been treating you well.

  1. Let me know if you need any help with the little stuff - having just done this, that seems like the easy part but can easily become overwhelming. A moving buddy is always a good thing. :)

  2. I'm in a similar boat with the fitness thing. I really wanted this summer to be all about exercise. But realistically speaking we have SO MANY home repairs and projects that it needs to be all about that instead. Also, it's been hot as Hades, and I do hate to run in the sun (weird, considering I ran all winter long, in rain and sleet and didn't mind that!). So fitness is back burner and house is front burner. Good luck selling your place! I'm sure that's a heavy psychic weight to carry around. It will be so nice to remove it and feel free and unencumbered! I hope it happens soon!
