Just a quick check-in, folks. Time is in short supply around here, as we’re down to under a week to go until moving day! I made a lot of progress on packing this weekend – and I owe a huge shoutout to my fabulous friend Zan, who spent her entire Saturday kid-wrangling, organizing, and packing with me. Seriously, I don’t know how I would have made it through the weekend without her. By this time next week, we’ll be in our townhouse and hopefully settling in a bit. It’s a temporary move – the townhouse is a stopgap, and hopefully a short-term one, until we find something permanent that works for our family – and I’m trying to make the best of it.
What with everything that I’ve got going on, I didn’t get much reading done this weekend. Last week I predicted a graphic novel-y week, and that’s exactly what this was. I finished the first volume of Saga (I’m currently midway through the second), the fifth volume of Fables, and the complete Boxers & Saints. Enjoyed them all, but I’m definitely deepest in the Fabletown world. I’m trying to keep a lid on the library stack, and I’ve been whittling it down by never checking out more books than I’m returning on any given trip. But I’ve got a pretty big stack of comics out right now, even as I’m religiously adhering to that rule. So expect more comics – specifically, more Saga – this week. As busy as I am, comics are holding my attention at the moment, and they’re short enough that I can rip through a few in a week – key to feeling like I’m still getting some reading done even in moving week.
Up on the blog this week: it might be moving week, but I have some really good content for you – recapping our November hike (it’s a GREAT one!) on Wednesday, and the first post in a new yearlong blog project on Friday. I promise you don’t want to miss either post, so check back.
What are you reading today?

I like feeling useful! It’s actually why I’ve stopped volunteering at certain places over the years; I felt like my time was being wasted and I wasn’t making any difference. Being at your house and feeling like I was doing something worthwhile for my sweet friend…it was great.
I know this week must be crazy for you! I’m looking forward to hearing how it went once it’s over. Good luck!
You are the BEST! Seriously, thank you SO much for all of your help this weekend. It made a huge difference – more than I can ever communicate! The move has gone about as well as could be expected and now we are living in a sea of partially-unpacked boxes (again). I’m torn between wanting to unpack and settle in and wondering if I should even bother, since I am hoping we won’t be in this place very long. We will have to have lunch when things settle down – I’m buying! – and I can tell you about it (not that there’s much to tell).
