Back online

Whew! DSL service is finally live at the new place, so I’m back online. If you’ve emailed me in the last week, I’ll take care of it today. If you don’t hear from me, there’s a slight chance that some emails vanished; try emailing me again. Thanks.

Checking in

Shannon and I are in our new house! There are boxes everywhere, but it’s gorgeous. Such a delight when I wake up every morning.

We’re having trouble getting DSL working, so I can’t access my email very easily for now. I hope to have that resolved by Mon or Tues.

I haven’t read LJ in a week or two. In fact, I think almost everything I’ve done in the last two weeks was house-related. I think we had eight different contractors working on the house at various points, and there was a lot of supervising/scheduling to do.

It still feels like a resort to me. Like I’m on vacation, and at some point I’ll have to go back to my regular life. I think it’s all the trees. There’s one part of the garden room where I can’t see anyone else’s house, just the park across the street. So it feels like I’m in a forest or something.

In fact, I had a complete “whoa” moment when I realized that my life outside the house was still the same one. It just doesn’t seem real.

Anyway, now I get to unpack over the next few months. Until then, there’s a lot of, “Honey, have you seen the [blank]?”

My story Witness is up at Redstone Science Fiction, a relatively new online science fiction magazine. I love seeing new markets for short fiction, so I’m really happy to appear with Redstone.

Enjoy.
