Will I ever write consistently on this blog? Who knows. Life got chaotic, again, then I got overwhelmed which renders me frozen and I can't do much of anything so the calendar pages
I'm currently thawing but I'd like to think I'll be unfrozen very soon. Writing this today is a step in that direction.
The chaos? Both the good and bad kind.
The big news is that we bought a house.
Or, a second house.
A second house that will eventually be our only house.
The plan is to keep our current house in NJ and transition slowly to the new house in DE, dividing our time between the two places for the immediate future.

This is all very exciting and great and wonderful, while also being scary and did I mention scary?
I don't know why I'm scared. I guess it's because I'm usually scared of everything, thanks to having an anxiety disorder. I've come to realize that it's really, really hard for me to be happy about anything because my anxiety likes to ruin everything for me by switching on the part of my brain that stores all the what if's.
It is not fun, having this kind of brain, by the way.
And I am actually very much looking forward to moving out of NJ and getting back to DE even though it's bittersweet to leave NJ - a place that I love so dearly.
Like so many others, we're leaving NJ because we're getting priced out; that is to say that the state of NJ and its ridiculous property taxes is just too expensive. Example: NJ house property tax is 8K, while the DE house is $1200. Similiarly sized houses.
The area that we're moving to is sort of rural and farm-y, and it's close to the beaches on one side and the Chesapeake area on the other. I won't run out of things to do and places to visit. Not too shabby.

If only I could shut off the all the what if's that keep popping up, putting a damper on what is a very exciting time.
Part of the getting unfrozen plan is to get back to doing some of the things I used to be passionate about. Making videos is one of those things and I'm hoping to document the chaos of having two houses, the slow transfer of too much stuff from one to the other, and all the in-between things.
Stay tuned.
