Stress Management

The closing day for my new home is fast approaching..as in the 15th it will be all official like. And true to form, cause to thine own self be true and shit, I’ll actually start moving that day after I say ‘Gimme!’ and get the keys. I have a freezer that needs to be emptied and defrosted. What a pain. I was smart and I’m taking the day. I’ll use it to hopefully make a smooth transition of services. Cause I’ll be the first to admit without haste, I’m a Net junkie. I need my daily reads dammit. Annnd I need my Net geekery.

Course, there’s been drama on the paperwork side of things. It’s an universal law..since the whole offer/offer accepted phase went so smoothly, of course the actual loan paperwork end would decide to be a little bitch and then some. Which, of course, has made me the Vegas of blinking nerves. Bless the patience of the lady working on my loan as I was trying to hear something, anything, in regards to having everything she needed. I’m now trying to will the moving people to call me back. Failing. I also need to actually –arrange- the service transfer.

And amidst all this, I managed to start writing again. Moreover after months of stuff cropping left, right, and center which pretty much took all my attention, made my last communications with my pals ages ago and ultimately led me down the road where I found myself the sickest I’ve ever been, behold! I got part of my groove back. Bout time too dammit. It’s thoroughly annoying. One of the things I started doing was making the skeleton of my Chronicle before I got derailed. And on top of that, move all my writings related to it, to the CMS because I’ve lost quite a bit of stories and what not from boards going belly up.

I just got back to it. It’s a tedious process, but it also helped me get back in touch with my ideas and directions I was heading when I wrote. A lot of my buddies that wrote with me can’t for various reasons at the moment. Miss em I do. Some’s access to the Net waffles. Annd on top of that, I was out of action for a while, and owe some people some characters to torture..err toy with. Heh. But being able to write again is promising for me. Because it’s one of the few ways that is actually effective in keeping my stress manageable. The other is working out. Everything else just hasn’t given the same results. Any interested in taking a gander, just say so. I’ll post the link. Since I’ve lost quite a few stories, I have to go back and write a history of sorts to bring new readers up to speed about some people.

My next evolution is to finish Anodyne. Because I have some non RPG influenced writing that I do that I don’t mind sharing.
