I'll be moving soon.

The biggest problem with this is the fact that, as of this writing, I have NO idea where we'll be moving to.

You see, my family and I have until December the 31st to find another place to live, secure it, and move our stuff into it - including ourselves. This came on somewhat short notice, and there's no butthurt or anger involved; it's simply one of those kinds of situations where nobody's really at fault.

Frankly, it sucks - I kinda wish I DID have someone to point all my frustration at and unload... but the fact remains that I don't. Oh, and we still have to move. Of course, it would help if we could find a place first.

*sigh*

One of the things that's weighing on my mind aside from moving (and its' foibles) is the fact that we have NO working computer, and there's no telling when we'll be Internet capable again... which, of course, means that I won't be able to visit the forums until we do.

That gives me quite a nasty knock; I've stayed on this forum for longer than I have any other online social gathering, and you folks are like my extended family... how will I get by without you all?

Well, I mean... I could find a library nearby wherever we'll be and keep touch in one-hour stints. Granted, not ideal by far... but still a possibility.

The computer we DO have is currently DOWN... and, as much as my wife claims she's going to get it fixed, I know she's a bit of a procrastinator. It could be QUITE a while until we're able to even AFFORD to do so, never mind that we'll have plenty of expenses pop up between now and then.

I could go through friends... but honestly, doesn't it bug YOU when you've got a friend who's constantly asking to use your stuff? Yeah - I do NOT wanna be THAT guy.

Begging for help or money? No, thank you - I don't like the idea of folks avoiding me because they think I'll ask 'em for stuff; I'd rather have friends than money, anyway.

That leaves me in a nebulous spot, a place where I have NO idea if I'll be back to these wonderful forums anytime soon...

Anyway, the last day I will have any sort of access to the Net of Inters will be December the 31st; after that day, I'll be communicating from elsewhere than where I am at this very moment... if I can get access, that is.

If not, well...

...

... no. I'm not gonna say good bye HERE; it'd feel cheap to me. If it comes to that point, I'll make a post about it and give my 'So Long And Thanks For All The Ponies' speech there.

This blog is more-or-less just me venting my fears and frustrations.

I do hope we manage to get Net set up before we leave, so it'll be as if I never left here - that'd be grand, I know it.

But wish, crap, hands, fill, dot dot dot.

*sigh*

Anyway, I suppose I'll just quietly bide out my remaining time here. I might be missed for a moment, maybe a week... then, it'll be just like I was never here. That's not me crying or whining or being depressive - it's a simple fact of life for almost everyone.

See, people pass in and out of one's life like busboys at a restaurant; maybe there's a connection, but when they walk away, they're quickly forgotten to make room for the next restaurant, the next busboys.

It just happens - we can try to keep up appearances, or act as though we're still as buddy-buddy as we used to be... but time progresses forward, not reverse.

Still, that leaves absolutely NO reason why we can't have fun together while I'm still here.

So, until the end of the year, I'll still be here, doing the thing.

Granted, if I end up getting re-connected almost instantly, then all this huster and bluster will be worth absolutely ZILCH, and I'll be the one with egg on my face over this blog. Still, it does feel at least a little better, now that I've gotten it out.

Stop by and say hi, sometime. At least, while you still can, that is.
