Recovered From Yesterday…
Almost… A two-nap day with a great lunch and a great dinner and a little too much television tonight. But I still managed two loads from the two condos we are cleaning out this weekend of what was left. A lot of art. Kris and I almost have all the art to the new place we think we are going to use. Now to get all the extra, plus all the stuff I would love to sell at some point out into the storage unit that me and the movers filled yesterday. 10 x 30 foot, all climate controlled. Sadly, we filled it. What I would love to sell is…

Worked All Day On Kickstarter and Move
And I Also Put Together an Issue of Smith’s Monthly… And finished a novella. Yeah, sort of a busy day. (Giant understatement.) With Kris’s pushing to keep us on schedule, we spent part of a second day just sorting art. I didn’t realize just how many signed pieces of art we have, not counting things like monster movie posters (originals in good shape) from the 1960s. (I will sell those eventually.) And maybe a good 100 Pulp magazine cover art, reproduced on cloth. All going to storage. So much of our even signed art is just going into storage. We have a stunning amount of room for art in our…

Another Long Moving Day
Got the Original Pulphouse Books Up and In Place… Wow, we did a lot of books, especially when you consider three or four states per book. 285 different titles. Took a bunch of moving from our office condo which is where they were to up here. Also today submitted for approval another Kickstarter Campaign. This one for Pulphouse Magazine subscriptions. Going to be a good one. In fact, it has two special three-week workshops that will run in September and October. You can only sign up for them through the campaign. One is a complete redo of HOW TO WRITE A PULPHOUSE STORY. Not even going to look at the…

Massive Move Day
Gaining On It… The goal is by 1 week from today, when the movers show up, everything will either be in place in this new condo or ready to go to our new storage unit. Almost no furniture except shelving will go to storage. Just a dining table and chairs, and one desk, but a ton of boxes full of books and files. Basically all our extra author books is the biggest mass. And we will move the digest collection from the other smaller storage unit to this new larger one since the larger one is air conditioned. So everything needs to be boxed and either upstairs in our new…

I’m In My New Office…
After Working On It All Day… Finally got all four computers and two secondary screens in place, shelves in place, a few boxes of books on the shelves, and this computer running enough to do some email and a prompt. (Sound echoes and lights not right yet, but I’ll get it.) A lot of trips down to our old office condo on the main floor. And since this office is up a flight of stairs here in the condo, I climbed basically 15 flights of stairs carrying boxes and computers. Yup, going to feel that tomorrow. A bunch of time on my back on tile floor putting desks together as…

Really, Really Tired of Packing Boxes…
But This Was the Last Day… By noon tomorrow the movers will be gone and we will mostly be in our new place. It will take a month to clean up the other two condos and turn in the keys, but there will be no massive amount of things to do. Get some stuff to storage, some things to give away to charities. So tomorrow is the big move. Then we unpack all the boxes we have been packing for a week. And tomorrow is the first day of the craziness with the little girl meeting the two boys, all in a brand new place. I am sure Kris will…

Tired of Packing Boxes…
…And I Got Another Full Day of It Tomorrow… Kris and I both packed a lot of boxes today, and ran a bunch of errands to get cat stuff that we will need Friday morning. We’re putting the two boys together in one big carrier because it’s just easier for us to get them into that. The little girl goes in and out of her carrier all the time when playing, so no issue there. But tonight we me packing and taking shelves off the way, she’s getting worried. He would just pay under something, on the floor, out of the way, watching me. When I sat down here at…

Packing Boxes…
Movers Coming on Friday… And furniture and books and shelves are leaving two condos and going upstairs into one far larger condo. The thing is so large and has such spectacular views, we will have three living room sets of furniture. For two people. And my new office and Kris’s new office both have views hard to imagine. But we will suffer through. (grin) And on Friday, after the movers leave, the two boys from Promotion Central meet their new co-worker. She has been here in my office on the ground floor since she joined up and I can tell you that she is a love, a lap cat, and…

Some Promised Pictures…
Hard to Get a Sense of 7,000 Square Feet of Stuff… But the following pictures will sort of give a hint at the monster I am tackling. (And yes, I owned all of this stuff.) What I did for four days was mostly pack and make decisions about entire collections and found homes from most of it. Like a large collection of anniversary clocks went to my old bookstore, along with a ton of nonfiction books that I sorted that were from Kris’s old library. I had also bought a massive collection of decorative wooden boxes. Those went to the bookstore as well. The massive Muffy Vanderbear collection (that was…

At My New Desk
Still Only Partially Moved In… But moved in enough that I am typing this from the new desk and will get assignments and such caught up tomorrow. And I have a second new desk to put together still. And a ton of getting paperwork together. But over the next few days I will be getting caught up. And finally I will be sending out hotel codes for the Master Business Class and Anthology workshop. So stay tuned for those if you are signed up. Also will be catching up a ton of other stuff. Amazing how far behind a person can get on a monster move. Stay tuned. Almost there.…
