the Village Knittiot

I wouldn’t necessarily classify myself as a superstitious person, but as it turns out, I really am. Especially about sharing good news. It is possible that superstitious is the wrong word and a more accurate description is cautious, but when it comes right down to it, I think my whole theory is a bit more mystical than practical, so consider this my virtual knocking on wood *knock, knock, knock*. Also, for a couple of people who have experienced an avalanche of rottenness this year, we are a little gun shy of counting our gift horses before they look us in the mouth, if you know what I mean.

But, the last couple of weeks have seen some rays of sunshine poking through the grey, cloud-speckled landscape of central New York. First, we had an offer on the house, and while things are not settled yet, they are well on their way to being so. I’m saving the dance steps for when we sign the last piece of paper turning our wonderful old house over to her new occupant. Second, my company, offered to keep me on full-time working remotely. There are some weird logistical things for the first 6 weeks, in which I will be working here and staying with friends while Corvus heads down to Philly for his own job search. At Christmas we fly back to Minnesota for our family gathering and then when we get back, I’ll start working out of the house in Philadelphia. Working from home has always been a dream of mine, so this is extremely exciting news. Also, flattering, as they were willing to try and make this work rather than lose me. Third, we found an apartment and are driving down this afternoon to sign the lease. We are then turning right back around and heading home, so this little chica is going to be exhausted. The place is in an area we like and, most importantly, close to the public transportation terminal. We arrive just in time for the SEPTA workers to go on strike. Impeccable timing.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must get back to my wheel…
