No Firm Date

I still can't get a firm date from my buyer on the exact day his house closes, which is also the day he'll want to move in here, and also the day he'll pay me, and also the day I'll have to have a rented van loaded so I can head out. Latest word is we're looking at about the 24th of this month.

The one thing I can't deal with is "maybe."

Rebirth of Omnem

Omnem is now reconstituted as a personal journal/yoga journal. From now on the private stuff will go here and the public stuff on Catboxx. The reason I'm doing this is because I no longer have enough control over my hands for handwriting.

It's been an eventful month. Started smoking again on Tuesday, 9/23. Sold my house on Monday, 9/29, and will end up taking an $8,400 loss, but that's okay; there's a depression going on.

Will move on either 10/18 or 11/1, depending on when Ted's house closes. Will rent a van, load it, drive it up, offload in Bremerton (Silverdale, actually), drive back, pick up the car, drive back up again. See Catboxx blog.

Mom went into the hospital with elevated heart rate, vertigo, rapid breathing on Wedesday, 10/1. Colonoscopy came up negative. She'll get to go home tomorrow, and she sounds a lot more cooperative now that she's had this scare. Will return to physical therapist to deal with vertigo.

Chris was great through this. It all fell on her, and she did everything that was needed and then some.

Rachel flies home from Texas tomorrow.

All in all, things are pretty good.

Yoga Journal

I'm gonna need a printer.

Did yoga today for the first time since 9/30, pranayama and asana. Pranayama was short -- about five minutes. I started coughing toward the end. Asanas somewhat shortened also, as some of them caused a little shortness of breath.

I quit smoking again on 10/10.

Love,
Dave
