Boy oh boy am I busy! Lots going on what with the move and everything. We got the "official" word today that our background check, references and credit report came back for our apartment and we passed with flying colors.... which I knew we would. So, I officially will be down to my new place on February 1st. The wife is staying behind to finish her degree and will join me in May.
This really is the ONLY way to do this cause if we didn't jump on that apartment, we wouldn't get one. So, it just ended out perfect. Its the building, floor and parking space we wanted and all that fun stuff. An apartment complex RIGHT ON Lake Michigan. YAY!
Still no word on the job front. Cross your fingers for me. I hope to get down there and start work right away!
I've been packing boxes and finishing last minute shit around the house that I gotta do before I leave. This weekend I HAVE to finish those last commissions I had and send them out. Also, I gotta finish word balloons on Pleasant Life #3 and Earthgirl #2. For some reason, the writer on Earthgirl has DISSAPEARED! Thin air, poof! So, I dunno whats going on. Should I bother to finish it??
Good news is I got 10 boxes packed, Pleasant Life #2 is complete, burned to disk... DONE! El fineto! Ready to send off to the printer.... if I had the money to print it!
I was hoping to squeeze in a table for novi. I kicked it around with a few friends, but alas, money ain't gonna allow it. I am 100% on for Pittsburgh. they announced my appearance at their site this week (www.pittsburghcomicon.com). Although right now, they got a MAJOR spelling error there. Instead of it saying "Adam has been drawing since he was six years old," it says "Adam has been drawing since SEX years old!" I emailed them a correction. But it made me smile! but anwyay, I had to toss $85 I don't have to my car today for a BADLY NEEDED oil change and an almost torn serpentine belt. With all the driving I'm about to do, I needed to get that shit done. So, UGH. Funds drained. Nothing left for Novi. So, I'll try to do the fall show instead to make up for it, AND some store appearances here and there.
People at the newspaper are starting to realize I will be gone soon. Some have confided in me that they cried when they heard I was leaving. I was deeply touched by that. Its nice to feel loved and wanted. But, it doesn't effect my decision. This has been a long time coming. It sucks for those left behind, but they will find their own way. As those before me who have left for greener pastures. All things end, and today, its my turn!
Shane is VERY happy I am moving earlier than expected. We keep talking about what life is gonna be like. I'd imagine very hectic at first. But things will settle. I'm gonna miss my wife really bad. that much I am SURE of. But I will get through it by writing letters and driving up/down when we can. Getting my son when (?) is up in the air too... Its all hard to say. So many dark areas. But all will be revealed in time. I just wish I knew!!!
Anwyay, those are my thoughts tonight. Stop by the forum. Some good political talk going on there. Or, more of me ranting. Gotta love that.
Luvs, T
