The Moving.

Here's a little visualization exercise that M made fun of me for.

Frankfort is about ninety miles from Morehead by interstate. It's not on the map, but I-64 goes straight from Morehead to there via Lexington. Lexington is about sixty miles from here, and I think the map shows it a little farther south than it actually is. I added Morehead myself, by the way, so keep in mind that it's a bit of an approximation. So, while we might travel to Lexington on a whim quite often, and M drove the distance every day, it's a little too far for me to be driving every day. Not that anyone is trying to get me to commute or anything.. I guess I'm just a little on edge about the whole thing. My parents, who moved us to Georgia for four years and Memphis for another two, are a little freaked out and upset by this move.. especially my mom. I'm justifying it to myself, I guess. If it wasn't for my family, I would be a little more excited about moving. I know it'll be fine, though. It's not like we couldn't drive up here to visit or anything. :)

We've been looking at apartments online. I guess the plan is to find a decent place to rent (preferably a house but we seem to be finding more apartments--although that might not mean anything) and then start looking at where we want to live in a long-term sort of way. I'm feeling extremely stressed over the whole moving thing, and I'm trying very hard to relax about it. M is sick and so far I've been uncharacteristically resisting catching whatever it is that he has, but I know if I allow stress levels to get too high I'll be sick, too, and this is not a good time. So.. I don't know. I really want to be working on stuff, but it's a little too early to do much good. The next issue of Mosaic Minds goes up on the 15th, and I can't even start working on it, really, until the 10th (stuff is still in the editing cycle.) Not very good timing. I'm going to spend some time today doing as much as possible beforehand, though. I don't know how much I can actually accomplish in advance without touching the content, but we'll see how it goes. I can do those f*@#$@#$Sing amazon links, anyway, I guess. Yay. I really hate those.

Anyway, guess I might as well get with it instead of sitting around thinking about what needs to be done. Bleh. I'd really rather sit around and put it off. :)

Yep, Marie did the masthead. I have a few things planned to do ahead of time, so it's looking a little more promising now. Still. Will be glad when it's done! :)
