Busy streets and Dizzy Heights
The last, oh, seven years of my life have been too idle. I experienced a lot, fell in love, went to cool concerts, dabbled in some art and writing, started up a D&D game....but there was also a great deal of free time spent unwisely. I feel that now. Hell, I felt that then. Although I'm in a good place now, I still find myself considering time more precious than ever. And I regret wasting so much time.
Having turned in my Goodman Games work (though revisions are pending), I'm floating free for a moment. As much as I love having a project, I think I also love being between projects, too. It's weird like that. "Free time" isn't as enjoyable when you've got a lot of it; but when you're normally working on some kind of deadline or any kind of time-consuming endeavor, when you do get free time, it's glorious.
Mentally, I'm falling back onto my old story, the one that I love the most. The City of Clocks, the Inquisitors, and all that. It's sort of a background thing right now, but it's on my mind a lot. What I'm thinking about when I'm not thinking about anything else.
At last I may have the time to get to our wedding Thank You cards. Sure, they're obligatory, but I'm grateful to many people for coming that I genuinely want to send them. There are a handful of people who are frowning at the delay (incured by events we could not control), but they'll just have to wait a little longer.
But this is all just surface stuff. Life at home with Marisa has been assiduous. Busy, happy, more than a little distressed now and then, as neither she nor I have been feeling up to par health-wise. But whatever, we're working on it. After the setbacks of the last six months, we're still not fully settled and unpacked in our apartment. I ordered an 800-CD swiveling tower and we bought some wood for a couple of shelf units her dad's going to make for us to hold a small chunk of our many books. Funny how organizing your living space can improve your productivity and sense of accomplishment. I hope it does.
Too many hands on my time
Too many feelings
Too many things on my mind

You never really unpack everything...I've moved nine times in as many years, and I still have boxes from the first move that I've yet to unpack. Of course, I'll be moving again in six months, when the house is finished...maybe *then* I'll finally unpack every box...but I doubt it! ;)
The Goodman Games thing was a small start for me. Two mini-adventures (not full modules) in a collection of other mini-modules. Harley's got 2 in there, too. But then he's also got a full-blown module.
