January: In-and-out like a lion
Jan 12th, 2007 by Matt
For over two years, my wife and I have tried to sell our 105-year-old home. This week, we did it under less than agreeable financial terms. We’re eager to move on.
Of course, this happened the week I started a new role at work managing a staff of seven.
I spent last night collapsed on the couch in my khakis and unbuttoned shirt, watching a rerun of last year’s Superbowl and drinking tea. Between thoughts as I drift to sleep I keep piecing together a starting point for the fiction I want to work on. And, yet, not a pen to the page, not a keystroke typed.
Things are bound to stay crazy. Here’s to hoping the house we haven’t identified just yet has a cozy little office where I can string some words together into something resembling an actual story!
Holy shit! It sold! Good for you guys! We’ll have to have a celebratory oat sodie!

Ugh, for some reason Matt, when I try to comment on a quote, it doesn’t post. Sorry about that. I’ll try again later.
Yay for you guys! We can’t wait to see your new place when you get one.
Unsurprisingly, I’ve spoken too soon. See the newer post.
