Not Funny.

Things have been rather grim in our household lately, but Brian and I are attempting to lighten up. We've come to the conclusion that our current quality of life is just not working out for us, so we need to make some drastic changes.

.....

Okay, I keep typing and deleting shit here. No one wants to read a treatise on this shit, so let me just say that we are working on a timeline for selling the house and moving to Seattle. This decision was not made lightly, but for many reasons it is the best decision we can make. More and better career opportunities, more $$$, more friends and family, more bookstores, less mileage on the car, etc and etc.

I know I've said all of this before. In fact, we have already made two grand declarations to move west and then other shit happened. Well. It's happening. We just have to decide how and when. Moving costs money we do not have right now. So does fixing up the house to sell it. Not to mention Maine's real estate market has sort of crapped out. Sooo... We have some details to work out and emotions to work through.

I've fought against the notion of renting again after owning my own home. Well, screw that. I want to be able to travel again and eat out without fear of financial reprisal. I want to actually save some of my money and not spend every last dime of every paycheck. I don't want to cry anymore when I think about where we're at and where we should be.
