Change

Nothing stays the same – or so I’m told…

We are no longer on schedule to move in the next couple of months. Things are kind of up in the air for the moment and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I really want to move but at the same time – there is so much I want to get accomplished before I have to think about having to pack or weed stuff out.

I accepted a position doing payroll installations which is what I’m professionally very good at doing. I’ve been burdened with overtime which was to be expected but I didn’t really think it would eat into my freetime like it has. I’m thinking I wasn’t being realistic when I decided to enter A&S again this year – but we will see.

I’ve been waiting for the inevitable cold snap so I could test drive some cashmere underthings and I made several pairs for other people to test drive and report back on the fit and comfort. I have converts! So comfortable and soft and warm without trapping in the heat. I have to make many more pairs because I now have a preferred style and I think I have the fit down so I now need a half dozen so I don’t have to do laundry during the week. It’s a weird bit of luxury.

Happy New Year. I resolve to take better care of everything. That about covers it.

 

1 Day To Go

Mostly I am prepared to get on the plane and go. Mostly.

I haven’t heard back from most of the museums that I wrote to so far so I’m getting a little nervous about being able to see everything that I want to see when I’m there. I’m sure it will work out fine but still – a part of me is nervous about it.

On the other hand – I have “people” in Germany and Belgium that are helping me with the project from that end. Chris is getting me the papers on the subject that are in German and only available in Germany. Peter is going to help with the Belgium sites. All is good.

So now all I have to do is remember to breathe (both in and out) and finish updating the computer so it is ready to go. And all the notebooks.

Nothing else to report at this time.
