Flying Under the Radar..

I've been a little off the radar when it comes to my blog.  It's not for the lack of writing.  In fact, I have been writing most days on a separate website called 750words.  My good friend revealed this one to me, as her collegiate writing professor uses it as part of the creative writing regimen.  I'm only on my 30 day trial right now, and soon I'll have to pay for writing my 750words a day?  What I do like about it is the stat tracking -- how long did it take today? how many words did I manage. what was my overall mood based on the word choice? how many breaks did I take?  It can be quite specific.  The difference is that I've been paying more attention to quantity than quality, and truly you wouldn't want to read the drivel I've written about my every day life on that site.  It is, and will forever be, a private blathering of nothingness.  Posts here should be meaningful (although this one is still waiting to prove itself).

There's actually nothing off the radar about life.  I'm knee deep in mortgage lending paperwork and awaiting a response from a lender to commence the house hunting process. Oh, the joys of home buying and all that it entails is around the corner.  I am eager to move from the little cottage in the woods I've rented since 2014, but I am also wary of what we'll be getting into.  Right now, my landlord is a phone call away and the "magic fixer" of all the problems one might face with a 60 year old home.  Soon, the problems will be ours to manage, and that's a scary proposition.
