Finally close. House hunting. Friendsourcing.

 Not much time for this one today, and a lot to tell. I’m looking at houses in earnest, and also contemplating building, though I need to do more research on what that entails, in this crazy state of affairs, with supply chains still chaotic. Not a deluge of houses on the market, or coming on the market. But if I’m going to get something, I’d like it to be something we really like.

Finally getting towards wrapping up much of the goals I set for myself, like finishing teaching the SSEHV classes I need to complete my certification. (SSEHV is like my SSE classes, spiritual and values based stuff, but mainly values, leaving religion and spirituality unspoken, so it’s usable in places like public schools and with people who are not interested in Sai Baba or even necessarily religion.)

And it finally is actually feeling close to the end. I still think focusing one week at a time is better for the quality of my work, as I’m focusing present moment, but I do that anyways actually, there is not other option. It’s when I’m not at work that the thinking creeps in. But yeah, at this point, the amount of time seems very manageable. In fact, it’s starting to be more like, “oh, it’s coming up really fast!” Which is making me think more about houses. 

If we want a landing spot that has enough room and a dishwasher (my main essentials, at least for short term) we are starting to get to the end of our cushion room. Houses come on the market slowly, so there isn’t the kind of selection we got in and around Austin. We probably saw 30 houses in the month we were looking. I think we’ve been looking since… March? And we’ve seen maybe 10? So, a lot slower. We can always move back to our old house and make it work.

I should perhaps be enlisting the help of more of my friends back in Fairfield for help. Crowdsourcing via friends is how I found my wife, so I’m a fan of the method :D

I think I’ll end there since it’s getting towards the end of lunch, and the end of the week, and I’d have to think more to find more to say. So, bye for now, take care, and be well
