Which means two years ago right now, I was surrounded by boxes, mayhem and moving men and was slightly overwhelmed. One of the movers had fallen down the stairs and bloodied his nose pretty good - I can't help but wonder if he remembers that or it was just another house in a long never ending series of moves. Likely the latter.
I was also watching snow showers accumulate to around six inches by nightfall. Quite a difference today with near boredom and temperatures almost warm enough to wear shorts.
2010 started out "normal" with no pretense of what was to come. Mid-2010 changed to being all about buying a house. 2011 was all about selling a house. I guess that means that 2012 has been all about searching for that new normal. It remains elusive.
After moving, there was the winter period of making everything right; making it home, basking in the realization of the goal of a much newer house on acreage. Spring came and there was pole-barn building, yard work to start, lawns to mow, etc. And, as noted much of that year was spent working towards selling the old house.
With 2012 approaching a close there is still not a normal. The new house requires much less upkeep (with the exception of the four acres to mow). Between that and other life changes (simplification?), I often have more time for other stuff than I ever have before. Much of that time seems to have been filled with work, which is very wrong. I am not working today since I have a few days of vacation I need to use by years end, but I wasn't able to stop myself from logging in remotely, if only briefly.
And so the question remains, what am I going to be when I grow up? Happy two-year anniversary!
