A short one.

This is going to be a short one just to say that I am still around and simply not posting because work has been far too busy of late. I have my second installment of “Reading Saramago during the collapse” halfway written and hope to finish it this weekend, and am hoping in general to get some writing done in the next few days.

But I’m really doing quite well, am very focused on my project at work which has become all-consuming as we close down the last two months until deadline (which we’re not going to meet, but we have to be mostly there right?)

Brian’s house of course (in this market and time of year) is sitting unsold and I’m trying not to let it get to me – even planning to move in there if things continue to decline into the summer. There does come a point at which he simply can’t afford to sell and I think we’re pretty clear about what that point is. At the same time I don’t want such an important aspect of our relationship progression be completely at the whims of the marketplace – so if it means moving in to his place for a year until things get better then it’s just what makes the most sense. We’re still hoping it doesn’t come down to that, but the fact I’m feeling okay with it as a possibility is making the whole scenario much easier to deal with.

I’ve been having a lot of symbolic dreams lately about selling houses and overcoming obstacles, and while I don’t believe in dreams as prognostications, it is clear my subconscious is working overtime to calm my psyche down and it’s working (thankfully). I feel really quite clear and resolved at the moment, much more in charge of myself and my work, and really ready to face the next few months of hard work and running about.

More real writing here shortly. I’m excited about where the Saramago post is going.
