So I have not been blogging, what with the move and the hunt and all that, and I might not be blogging quite as much as before, because I have given up on this thing called WiFi on home, as I will be working or at the public library or work otherwise, so I can save myself the money and the trouble and have a bedtime, after all.

It’s funny that as I was leaving NYC and packing up all my stuff, I was getting deeply depressed that this was all I had to show for the time that I’d spent in New York. That this was what life amounted to. Granted, the stuff comes tomorrow and I may feel likewise overwhelmed, but I do think I’ve learned from my mistakes in the pursuit of minimalism, storage, and clutter-reduction. Keep things simple, keep things clean, don’t buy things that lead to other things.

In many ways it’s starting over with no baggage and it helps that in the new apartment there is even a separate kendo closet. I am just grateful, and ready to earn the rank that has already been granted me.
