During one of our last few phone calls my Mother sarcastically snarled “Well, you always do seem to make the best of things.”
She meant it as an insult. I took it as a compliment.
Which gives you some idea of the ideological, spiritual and emotional gulf between us.
I’m kind of proud of the fact that I do make the best of whatever situation I am handed. Sometimes I make fun of myself, and even call myself an idiot for always trying to look on the bright side and find the good bits of even the darkest night. Don’t ever say it could be worse though – because that’s pretty much an invitation for it to get worse. LOL
We are moving tomorrow into a itty bitty salt box of a cabin. I love tiny houses myself. However, a tiny house is a bit of a tight squeeze these days with medical supplies for hubby’s peritoneal dialysis. Moving from a larger place to a smaller place is invariably a bit of a pain in the ass. We did rent storage and have already taken many things over there for safe keeping. My hubby is a wonder at arranging things so we can find what we want or need when we want or need it.
I’m looking at the whole situation as a chance to focus on the work I am doing online, as well as getting even more time outdoors this year. We are going to be thrilled to death at the change in our financial situation after the initial moving costs are covered.
Our internet provider is being a pain in the ass. By and large I’ve been very happy with their service, particularly when compared to other providers in the area. But first they claimed the little cabin wasn’t there. They had to go see with their own eyes. I’m not kidding. Now they are saying it may be the ninth of April before they transfer our service. This means about five days of NO INTERNET. Did you feel the earth shake?
Well, we do have the wonderful Computer Lab where I can take my laptop in and glom wireless – awful as that laptop is becoming to use (four missing keys now) and there is this story idea I am playing with that I could work on. And I did choose a pile of those great free and cheap downloadable games for your PC on Amazon
This, too, shall pass…
But if I owe you email, gifts on Fantasy Kingdom, or a tweet – please be aware I may be gone for a few days and what little Internet I can grab I will spend on work issues first and fun second. Then again – when I get back perhaps my first action will be to publish a little ol’ Kindle book…
It’s a fantasy tale.

has quietly sold almost 20 copies. No new reviews, all of 4 FB likes (including my own) and I haven’t been promoting at all. I took a look around the search engines and there isn’t anything new out there – 
We are getting ready to move from a two bedroom home with a studio back into a tiny little house – a cabin really. The little house is 15 feet by 21 feet on the outside. I’m calling it the little salt box. It has a tiny postage stamp fenced yard for the dog, and a little bitty front stoop with room for a couple of lawn chairs for sitting in the sun on pretty mornings. Lots of windows so 
This is a good thing as I have set goals for a three month push to raise my income from all my various online projects to something I could live on – and better yet – save towards purchasing our RV and a ranch.
