its hard to say that change has descended ON us when we create all the chaos, but it certainly feels that way.

its been over a month since I
completed the Seattle Tilth program and longer since I've update the
blog about traveling. a LOT has changed.
for starters:
we're suprisingly ahead of schedule with travel savings.
we are almost ready to move out to west Seattle.
We placed Otis and got him back.
Z. left his job of seven years and started a new job working in
lanscaping.
E. is working 40+ hours of overtime a week with the parks dept.
we've sold the majority of the stuff we've acquired over the past four
years including BIKES.
And last but not least we've pushed the trip back (again) to mid
november.

it scarcely feels like there's time to breathe let alone maintain
meaningful relationships with each other or our friends. at the same
time it feels increasingly important to keep up on those closest
friendships we both have. striking that balance has never been my
strong suit but I am trying.
