No matter how hard we try the weekend never lasts forever. Time off was good, I think I got some rest somewhere. Honestly, it’s hard to think, my brain is constantly running through lists of what needs to be done next. Everything that absolutely needed to get done has been done for a couple of weeks, now it’s about securing our possessions, minimizing mess, and maximizing appeal of the old house. When we leave in two weeks the hope is that we don’t have to come back to the old house again, we’ll play that by ear. Then I have to re-establish myself in a new location, I have to walk the parameter of the property with the dog regularly until he learns what the boundaries are. A friend once said, “you’re never done unpacking, you just stop” and it stuck with me. There is stuff that has never been unpacked in my current house and I’ve always said if I moved and moved again without unpacking something, it’s trash. This week will also mark the first recording I’ll be doing of my new podcast. My initial plan was to record with the guys for awhile without ever releasing anything, but I’m not going to do that because releasing an episode is a technology that also has to be learned. The process will be more like a soft opening soon and a grand opening towards the end of the year, we should have all our kinks out by then. I’ve put a lot on my plate and I feel good about it all, there are moments when I’m able to step back to look at everything and it feels intimidating. One step at a time, I don’t need to see everything at once, it’s information overload.
