So remember last week, when I said we’d decided to move across the country? We had a plan worked out. The boys would go up at the end of this month, and Jason and I would follow in October once we got all the house projects and such finished. We’d even booked the truck for the weekend we planned to move.

Earlier this week, we received some very bad news that is not my news to share, and so I won’t discuss the details publicly. This news changes our plans heavily, because we have a much greater need to get up to Wisconsin a lot sooner than October. And so for the next two weeks, we’ll be working our butts off to finish the house, pack everything, and coordinate our move. We will all be moving up to Wisconsin at the end of this month.

Because of the much-condensed schedule, I’m taking a break from blogging for the next little while. Unlike other breaks I’ve taken in the past, which were for my sanity or when I got sick and tired of blogstuff, this is a forced break. It’s too easy for me to sit here writing and writing when I’m stressed and worried, and instead I need to be working on the house every minute I can spare. Which means no sparing minutes for blogging. This is kinda like the equivalent of putting myself on a book-buying ban. I’m on a blog-ban!

Likely I’ll be back, at least partly, around when RIP starts. Until then, though, I hope y’all have a good rest of the summer, and I apologize for not being here for posts, comments, reading your posts, etc. See y’all in a few weeks! And please wish us luck and send all the positive vibes you can our way.
