I just posted out that draft called bump from last December. I think it’s a testament to both my procrastination that I found the most time to post in here when I arguably had the least amount of time to spare, and how overwhelmed I’ve become since. By the time I left Port Jefferson, I’d left behind 2 desks, 2 dressers, 2 filing cabinets, a professional drafting table, an office refrigerator, and a couch. Oh, yeah, and those approximately 96 black garbage bags, stuffed with all manner of my life, and my lack of order.

It’s been over a year on now, and it seems like I’ve mostly blocked the whole thing from my mind. I’ve noticed my mind is already starting to wall off the whole Port Jefferson era. I hope things work out better here. I threw out the bulk of a ream of gray paper that got water damaged somewhere in transit over the last year. I slip of paper fell out of it as I was throwing it away. When I unfolded the slip, it was a shopping list for my old apartment. Wood filler, plaster, panes of glass, washers for shower door, new sink trap, … There’s a lot I still don’t understand, not the least of it is how I managed to get through all that, and to have everyone happy with the way it worked out.
Speaking of here… I’m in Brooklyn, New York now. It only took slightly more than 8 years to get inside the city limits. It’s turned out to be nicer here than I expected, although I still think if I could afford it, I’d live in Manhattan.

I think I want to re-template this site.  Which I will probably do, and then be gone again for another year. *sigh*
