This year has been a bumpy ride. Ever since I got the keys to my beloved house. I have done so many things that I haven't done before. I have seen so many things that my eyes couldn't fully grasp them and dear Lords of mine, what a massive job I have ahead of me! 20 years of neglect has put its markings on the buildings. Both in condition and amount of things buried within their bodies. I truly have my work cut out. Perhaps I was so caught up in the feeling of "being home at last" that I only saw past all the mess and didn't see how much work I needed to get through in order to get there ...
I can admit that I don't quite live in my house yet. I believe it will be no earlier than 2022 that I can do it, if things go according to plans - which they really never do. Until then I only live there during the summer. I'm a little less than halfway done with emptying the buildings from trash and broken things. The roof isn't leaking in at the main building anymore (three roofs to go) and I've managed to clear out a huge part of the garden to make it look less abandoned. I'm getting there slowly and now it's the time of the year to get back to sorting through the things inside and not building or fixing the garden. So perhaps I can finish the sorting-phase during 2021 if I'm lucky.
I've been having a huge writing-flow this year and written a lot, sadly not anything for this site to be honest ... Now I am at a writer's block again I think. But instead I feel like painting a lot. My thoughts about starting my own company has not yet happened, right now I don't really have a need for it anyway since I lack so much time when it comes to restoring my future home. My thoughts about publishing another book has not yet died. I'm at the finishing point with part one, though now the problem is my picky taste with the cover and finding someone who can do it the way I want it to be. I thought I had decided and could have it done by this winter ... But I realized too late that they couldn't do the cover the way I intended for it to be.
So I guess that's what my life is right now ... A messy stressful and still joyful time.
