Once again I'm struggling with decisions. We got some news which did NOT make me happy, but at least it's spurring me to get moving on something (namely my writing!) that I've been dormant about. I've actually joined a writing group, so hopefully through that I'll get some ideas about what to do once I'm done. Motivation is not a factor right now because I'm terrified my world is going to come crashing down on me (financial-wise only, thank goodness), but I hate working without a guarantee of something happening once my part is finished.

This guest post from Edgardo Rosa

It has been a month since my husband told me we were moving to Texas for his job. I have to admit that I was really excited when he told me because I am originally from Texas, so I thought it would be great to be closer to my family and old friends. He as a manager for a medical supplies company that just started a new branch where we will be moving. Our real estate agent has been emailing us potential houses for us to live in, but I have not liked any of them so far. I did look into getting internet once we get there and found a good provider by searching “4G internet Burbank”. I want to support my husband in his career and this is a promotion that will be good for our family in the long run. I am trying to keep an open mind about the selection of houses. I just need to remember that the house that we choose now does not have to be permanent. We will probably end up moving within a year of when we move there.

So many people are moving out of the state. Not only that, a few people I know are even moving to Alberta, Canada! I've never been, and they're going there without having visited either; at this point, I guess you just have to go where the jobs are!

Since they haven't had time to do any investigating, they're looking for apartments for rent in Edmonton, and they really like the area. They've found some great homes for rent in their price range too on RentEdmonton.com, which is a great site for people looking to rent a home in Edmonton, Alberta. I looked at it myself to check out a few homes they mentioned to me, and the site is great! Easy to use, simply laid out so even those of us with, um, less than stellar computer knowledge can use it. I was even able to check out some places that they hadn't seen yet, just by clicking the area they're interested in!

They're pretty excited about going up there now, especially seeing what housing is available! I don't know about the cold myself, but if they have an extra room, I might just take a vacation there when they get settled. Better get my passport updated! :-)

Now that my life has settled down a bit, I'm finally able to write! Admittedly, I've been working on my other blog a bit, but I think things have gotten to a point where our lives are getting into more of a routine with only occasional interruptions for specialist appointments versus specialist appointments interrupted by life. So, hopefully I'll have some interesting things to update in coming weeks!

My first goal that I'm going to throw out there in order to hold myself accountable, is that I'm going to devote at least 3 hours a week to my writing. Doesn't sound like much, but it's more than I'm doing now! I have had this story swirling around in my head for a year now, and then I actually had a dream in which I was discussion another story with someone, and I had a clear beginning, middle, and ending. I can't ignore that the idea was just handed to me, so I think I'd better respect it and GET TO IT!
