It's been a lot of adjustment, to say the least. I've had a lot of things happen, and the fact that I'm like a weird mountain man now - well, hill man, I guess, the land is all hills - is also weird. I have three Very Large Dogs With Hooves on the property to take care of and we get lots of deer visitors, which one of my Very Large Dogs stares and screams at because he really doesn't like visitors.

The place itself has required a lot of fixing up, but we've gotten a lot of it done so far. It's sort of been a double-edged sword because on the one hand it's drained a lot of resources but on the other I don't really have the time to take on commissions writing or anything. But as things get done, I'm hoping to get back to a more normal pace, and it has allowed me to... sort out mentally some of the things I'd like to do, figure out which stories are the most important ones to me to tackle.

There's absolutely a huge feeling of impending doom still, but. Trying to ignore that.

So yeah. Getting slowly back into things. Hopefully it won't be much longer and I'll have an actual schedule down a little more and I might even be able to sneak in doing a writing commission or two. We'll just have to see how it goes.
