What's new?
Another week has gone by. I see people that I haven't seen in a while and they ask me "what's new?" and I have not much to tell them. Which, surprisingly to me, I'm sort of OK with.
For so many years of my life there was major activity, like for a 12 or so year stretch I think I moved an average of once every 12-13 months. I've been in my current house for over 3 years, which is the longest I've lived in one place since I was 18 years old. There are times when I am sad about not moving but mostly I'm glad not to have to think about packing my stuff in boxes and changing my address and phone number again. I got so good at turning utilities on and off that I could make all the phone calls for electricity, water, cable/satellite, phone, etc in under an hour. Which if you've ever tried to do that you know what a feat that is.
However, there are still parts of me that are in the constant relocation mindset. For instance, We've hardly decorated our house at all. There are very few pictures on the walls and no rooms are painted any different colors from when we moved in. I'd really like to decorate more, hopefully one day I'll get around to that.
I need to come up with a good response for when people ask me "what's new?" .... I guess I could say "nothing. literally. that is what's new, which is definitely something new for me."
