Metacentricities

My to do list is long, the boxes are piled high, and my energy is low. As moves go, though, this one has to be up there as one of the easiest, for sure, of the cross-country moves I’ve made in my life (this is, basically, the 4th.) It’s easier for a variety of reasons - I have a lot less stuff, since I jettisoned so much of it almost two years ago. It’s mostly already packed, since I moved just a month ago, I’m moving back “home” which feels great, and last, but certainly far from least, I’m moving as part of a process to create a life with my partner, which makes the move amazingly wonderful and meaningful. So, I’m tired but happy, a little stressed, but calm, and we’re getting things accomplished, step by step.

And we have a great trip to look forward to. We’re leaving on Tuesday. We start with a stop at some hot springs near Fresno, then, to the mountains of Southern California, then a drive through Arizona and New Mexico, a stop in San Antonio, Texas (and the first time I will have driven through the bulk of Texas), New Orleans (which I haven’t seen since before Katrina), then a long stop in North Carolina, before heading up to Massachusetts. I’m actually looking forward to our trip through the south. I’ve never gone that way before, and somehow, for some reason, I’m curious to see how it is, and how it feels.

We have a long stop in North Carolina because we can’t move into our house in Shutesbury until sometime in early February (we actually don’t even know when, exactly) so we’ll be chilling at a house on the beach (I know, you all have a tiny violin for us.) And there is no broadband there, except when we have occasional forays to a resort close by that has wifi.

So it will be an interesting trip, for sure. Don’t expect to see anything more on this blog until we actually get on the road early next week.
