It's been a couple weeks so I figure I owe everyone another update.....

The new, dreamy, wonder-like vacation feeling of having a new house and going into the yard to work and explore and do things wore off around mid-August--around the same time the reality of having to go back to working at my job all day and my arm hurting from over-exertion kicked in. My right arm still hurts a bit when I make a fist or extend it, mainly because I over-did it and my arms never had much muscle. On the + side my bum knee has been feeling really good despite me not doing my exercises anymore. I think it's because of the yard work, or the climate, or altitude.

The closing of my townhouse in MN took place on August 26th. I am now $57k richer in my bank accounts, however since the debt on my ABQ house is about $50k higher than the debt was on my townhouse my net worth is pretty much the same. Anyhow I now officially have no address or property in MN except for an ATV I am trying to sell. My MN State ID card has been invalidated and I get my NM state ID in a week or two. Until then I have a temp. ID to buy alcohol with.

The fact that this coming weekend is a holiday weekend doesn't really mean much to me with the whole month of August being what it was. Hard to feel it's a vacation when you've been on one for two weeks and the other two you're just trying to get back into things. My sister, her husband and a couple of their friends are coming by this weekend to see my new place. They all live in Phoenix.

And back in Minnesota, FM 2015 went on without me, and me completely forgetting it. I'm not sad though--most of the people I went with last year weren't there this year either. I am still hopeful about maybe MCFC 2016 but we will see.

Oh, yeah. Accident has already killed a neighbor's dog and knocked over several pots and planters. He's gone a bit mad down here. Do they make leashes for road runners?

Anyway, that's all for now. Yeah, don't even ask me about drawing anything for a while. Sorry.
