I was wrong. I bought a house, just up the road; I move tomorrow. I&#8217;ve been balancing some health stuff (I am fine, just some pain I am getting slow-mo dealt with) and so I&#8217;ve been spending this past month alternately packing and resting, mostly alone because I&#8217;m not feeling fit for company. I like packing and I like to think I&#8217;m pretty good at it but I&#8217;m now in the &#8220;last five boxes&#8221; phase where I figure I&#8217;ve only got five more boxes left of stuff but then I fill those and&#8230; there&#8217;s still a small amount of stuff left, maybe five boxes worth. My neighbors have a barn that contains an endless supply of boxes for which I am very grateful.<\/p>\n<p>The very good news is that I&#8217;ll spend the largest chunk of the Virgo Month of Leisure mostly unpacking which is an eventual &#8220;order out of chaos&#8221; process that pleases me. I&#8217;m going to have stairs on the INSIDE of the house which feels so very fancy. And I&#8217;ll have a guestroom that isn&#8217;t also in my office. Once I start feeling better, you should come visit.
