Only loose end is the job and signing over utilities.

    This week will be packing the house and finalizing repairs. Some moving company wanted 12,000 to move our stuff to Oregon. Twelve. Thousand.

    Who pays that money?

    Anywho, still busy, still job hunting, still thinking of Althanas. Hope to be back soon and busy tidying up the place.
    F*cking hell! Who was this outfit, SpaceX?! For that money I'd want Elon Musk to move my shit via rocket.

    Update:

    I am still on the job hunt a month later. My company was recently bought into a merger and while still not giving me a direct answer, they are likely not permitting me to work remotely. My home closes on the 4th of May and our house is only 50% packed. We will be driving ourselves to Oregon to save on ridiculous moving costs. We then have from the 7th to the 23rd to find a job before we close or the loan falls through and we're homeless. To have come so far and still have it out of reach is incredibly frustrating. I don't suppose any of you know of a work from home program that isn't a total scam?

    In short, unless I secure a job in Oregon, I will be exceedingly sparse for about another month or indefinitely if the loan falls through. Hand tight Althanas. I promise to get things updated and rejuvenated here one way or another.

    To my staff: Thanks for keeping the fire burning. I appreciate all of your work. Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like some additional tasks to get the ball rolling on the updates.

    Update: Still no job but about a half dozen interviews when we get in on Monday.

    I did receive a much needed call from the realtor in Bend, and she is extending to us a pre-occupancy agreement. Meaning, we can move into the home right away but have to pay rent. That's completely acceptable for us and much needed considering the slew of alternative we needed to arrange once we got there. On top of that, the seller is willing to extend our close to whatever date necessary to help us facilitate our loan's needs once we get jobs. Meaning, we have the option of more time to get a job if we're unsuccessful the two weeks before the original close date. There also was an offer that came in after she accepted ours that was better, but she declined it and is willing to work with us to get the house. A total blessing.

    So we're not completely out of the woods, but at least we have a candle in the darkness. There's still a lot to arrange with packing, cleaning, moving, etc, but the fear of being homeless is not as prevalent.

    I hope you traverse through the darkness along the shortest path, Lye. You and yours are in my prayers.

    I'm looking forward to the day you return to the quill. That will be a happy day indeed.
    So I’m cutting that branch off the cherry tree.
    Singing this will be my victory.
    Then I, I see them coming after me.
    And they’re following me across the sea.
    And now they’re stinging my friends and my family.
    And I, I don’t know why this is happening.

    Long overdue update:

    I now work as a “Specialist” for Verizon Wireless. We have since settled into our home and have about 1/2 of our boxes moved in. We had new floors put in, new sinks, new toilets, and fresh paint. I still have a list as long as my arm to catch up on if I ever hope of this place looking decent. Since we lost the best man I ever knew, we have been able to move on. I now kayak from time to time when I need to reconnect with myself, and have found love for chopping wood for our wood stove in winter. Last week was my wife’s birthday and we drove 4 hours into Portland to get her Costa Vida, her favorite, and check out the zoo. On our return, we found water damage under our new flooring in the master bath. A plumber is scheduled for tomorrow at 8AM.

    I want to apologize for my absence and realize that it has caused a stagnation. I had many desires and opportunities to return, but never found it to be the right time. Finally, I believe I have found the right time and will make every effort I can to contribute and revive the site. I am on board and willing to take on tasks again. I have some catching up to do on the Featured Quest and need to re-learn some of the back end processes we changed prior to my absence. I’m open to feedback if you have any.

    I also want to sincerely thank those that stayed the course and hung around despite how quiet the site got. Please help me by continuing your support.

    Lastly, keep writing. This site is rich in history and is made for writers. I never want to see it die.

    Hey Lye!!!

    We should probably have a discussion on the future of the site as I have been running it for a few months now more or less (with Dirks as owner/overseer). I was always going to be caretaker for your return (ta da!). I still have a few ideas I was thinking of implementing.

    Overall your return is coming at the perfect time as I ascend into motherhood. I still am aiming to make time for Althanas, and would like to remain an admin. But can discuss this with you privately?

    Glad everything is sorting out for you. My sister also loves kayaking and her and her new husband do it a lot. Sorry we missed each other in USA.
