#22: We're Moving (Again), and Home-Buying (Again).

Why we're somewhat unexpectedly moving somewhere I swore I'd never live again, the chaos of buying and selling a house at the same time, and how we have been (barely) managing it all.

Surprise! This personal issue is coming out a day earlier than usual, as a special companion to the revival of my YouTube with this Moving Diaries series that launched today, with it’s inaugural episode. Weekly REPORT will resume next week, as this issue is quite lengthy!

You might have guessed the news from the last few issues of the newsletter, alluding to a lot of pantry meals, needing comfort TV, and talk about transition — but to officially confirm, we are moving!

I had been Zillowing (yes, it’s a verb to me) for the last year. At first, it was absolutely directionless and innocuous; simply a hobby for me to peruse all the beautiful houses I could never afford, or for an almost salaciously-satisfying outlet to judge listings, audibly gasping at the audacity to charge $700k for absolutely unlivable, abestos-filled hell-holes off an episode of Hoarders.
