Hello again, everyone. This is an apology and an update.

First off, the apology.

I’ve been trying to get back to work stuff, but focus has been next to impossible to keep hold of. The fact that we’ve been house-hunting in earnest (me and my roommate) since August 3rd has meant that I’ve been having serious difficulties keeping up with work. At first, it was just being available to go hither and yon looking at places, then when we had an agent working with us, it was trying to find the right place and get everything settled, and then being available for other stuff.

While I have been told to relax and take it easy, I don’t want everyone out there that has paid for stuff to think that I’m willfully ignoring you. The only thing I can say is that I am a creature of habit, and having other things disrupting that habit, as well as feeling that need to be available, has made it almost impossible for me to focus on anything. Whether that’s creative Wheel of Fetish brainstorms, work, games, cleaning, cooking, my focus has been just gone. I’m not saying this as an excuse, but more to point out that just about everything has been affected; I’m not just avoiding writing.

And even that, again, isn’t an excuse, just an update. And I apologize to everyone that’s been waiting for as long as they have. I am starting to get back to it again, and should be able to start doing more, because – here’s the real update:

Me and my roommate – Engy – are getting a house.

It’s actually happening.

We put an offer down on a house on August 6th, and we’ve just finished up with inspection negotiations and appraisal stuff. In 13 days, we went from seeing the house to being almost ready to sign the papers for it. It’s insane.

I have no idea how the rest of this is going to go, or what the schedule for moving and such will be, but the fact that it’s happening is…insane. I’m still kinda dizzy, still processing the whole thing, but…wow.

Going from a 1,070 square foot apartment to a two-story 1,920 square foot house is…insane. I’m looking forward to the new place, and having the weight of waiting off my shoulders means that I feel focused and, honestly, a little inspired.

Can’t wait to do more work and get more stuff to you.

Thanks for reading through this.
