3. Oh, they're here...

But they don't know who I am so I have some advantage there. I went to march in a tiny town where I spent most of the summer, felt kind of safer knowing I won't be going there much now that I have a place of my own in a town nearly 20 miles away. I plan to keep to myself more until I feel the need to go out and meet people. Glad winter is coming.

I don't feel the kind of stress I had in my prior location so there's that. I can make a new start here, at my age it may sound crazy but I had little choice for my psychological health. I met three other newcomers to the state on Saturday, people are bailing out of red states.

Just glad to have room for my art projects and just room to move around. I have enough space where I can set up a project and not have to put it away so I can cook or do anything else, I almost forgot what it was like to have more than a two room cottage/cabin. All my stuff fits in here and it's not crowded. And with new carpet and new stove, I'm going to be a happy camper this winter.

Thanks for asking.
