Getting settled

-
Finally, after eleven days, we are totally and completely moved in to our new home! This has been the most difficult move we've ever had, simply because of a snow storm that arrived a few days before we closed on Feb. 1st., causing the roads to our Cabin Above the Clouds to be pretty much useless for Uhauls.
So, we waited until the weather improved (thankfully, we got a week of gorgeous weather), and we rented yet another Uhaul, and got the last of our stuff out of the garage at the apartments.

I tell you what, it really feels differently knowing we're 100% moved in. There was a sense of calm and relief that set in almost instantly.

Now it's time to get the office in order, get the gym in order (lots of catching up to do there), and get our lives back to some sort of semblance to normalcy. Which is one of the reasons I'm writing this post first thing. I told myself that I would be better with my blog, and I plan on doing just that.

Another thing I need to get back to work on is the Serpenteens series. I had been working on the final installment, Battle of the Gods, when we started this whole house thing three and a half months ago. But then I started working a part-time job washing dishes (I still have nightmares)  in order to secure our down payment, and since that was the hardest thing I had ever done, each day I was left feeling like a wet dishrag, with no motivation to move much less write.

But, that job has ended, the house has been purchased, and we are in, so time to get to work!

Just a quick hello-

-
As I sit here waiting to begin my work day, I wanted to just say a quick hello. As you can tell by the lack of a picture, I'm on my iPad, my new best friend. I never thought I would love the iPad as much as I do, but I do. I'm sill learning all the ins and outs, but I'm getting there. Things have been pretty much going in a steady forward motion for me. Steve is finally felling better, which always eases my mind tremendously. Book sales have been great. Work has been not as horrible as it usually is, so that's a nice change. And Buster, well, he's still his cute adorable self. The weather here in Austin has begun to slowly feel more like Texas weather; that is to say, it's getting hot as shit. I told myself, this year I would try and not get as stressed about the weather as I did last summer. I just have to keep it in my head that there is nothing I can do about it, and my time here gets shorter and shorter with each day that passes. Oh how I can't w...

Today in history-

It was forty years ago today that the Stonewall riots took place. To be perfectly honest, I didn't know until today that the riots lasted for six days. I wonder if that makes me a bad gay person, not knowing my own history. Oh well, I try. I never did excel in History back in school. But the fact remains, that the riots were a pivotal turning point for the gay community. It almost makes me wish something similar would happen again to get people to allow us to marry who we're in love with. But I'm not a very violent person, so deep down I hope there's another way. But if those fuckers don't listen soon . . . I haven't done much today. It's been too hot to venture outside without the fear of my skin burning off my bones. I went to the gym this morning, then spent most of the day working on edits for The Rise of the Son . I could have finished all of them, but Steve's working again tomorrow night, so that will give me something to do. Speaking ...

Working our asses off

I'm probably he worst blogger in history. I haven't been around because Steve and I have been on vacation, and doing tons of stuff to the house. Well, as I was finishing the last of the staining on the backyard fence I realized, I should have been blogging about what the hell we were doing doing all week and showing the end results. Oh well, a missed opportunity; another will present itself before long, I'm sure. As for now, the house is 99.9% finished (my office still needs curtains). We have worked so hard and done so much in a very short time. We couldn't be happier. Now we can enjoy. But tomorrow it's back to work and really getting back into the swing of things.
