Lotsa luck! I have moved about 10 times in the last 14 years… moving, or even staging, isn’t as fun as they say. Although it does make you whittle down your possessions, which I highly recommend.

Or not.

I’m surprised you even found time to write a Not Really post. Good for you!

As my Dad would say, go on and strike a blow for freedom. (Obvs I have no idea what that means but I reckon you’ll take the general vibe of it…)

Excellent sentiment. And somehow everything I throw away or donate comes back in triplicate by the next week.

I can't wait for the "staging" process to be over in PTown and you are actually moved in and show pictures!!!! This is such an exciting new chapter in your life, Marjie! In the meantime, go fishing :)

Wow, a lot of stuff, stressful stuff, going on. You sound like you're making it through with good humor. Eager to see the Provincetown home even it's just being "staged." Good luck! And good luck on those submissions too. I just got two rejections in the same day. Oh well, that's one less for another day.

They are fools not to publish your work. Someday they’ll be so embarrassed!

Haha. I wish! I appreciate your support and optimism.

All the good fortune in your move this week. Will expect some "fishy" stories once the dust has settled, though.
