- Upside- Free rent! Down- Bills still have to be paid, which gets tricky with no income.
- Upside- Wildlife ALL over the place. Down- NSA had the shit scared out of him by a baby bull moose.
- Upside- Summer in Alaska. Down- The days get shorter from here on.
- Upside- Quiet and private. Down- Except when Mom's "colorful" friends decide to drop by unannounced.
- Upside- Freedom. Down- Without structure, I'm kind of falling on my face.

Perhaps this is just a petite neutral zone. I recently came across this book which made a lot of sense to me.
Transitions - William Bridges if you google "transitions" the book is available online to preview through google books

a really good summary - I think you are in big ol'neutral zone. Relax, breath and try to keep enjoying it. Love from us all S & les Gang
What do you do all day?
That's quite the range of ups and downs! I have a hard time without a real schedule or structure...I work part time and I just now have a schedule for the first time after 1 1/2 years at this job. Maybe that will make it more tolerable? (At least I HOPE it will make it more tolerable.)
Sometimes I think I'd love this lifestyle! And then I want to make something in the micro and I'm like...uuuuhhh maybe not so much. I hope all is well.
Hullo !! How are those Alaskan cats doin' xo S & les Gang
Hi,J!,

xoxo S & les Gang
Hope you and the Alaska cats are doing well. Have you made friends with the moose? Good thoughts out to you.
So are we just making a list, or making some changes?
Bigs hugs right back at ya ! xo S, Missy D, BleetNess, Oliver & Gus
I just blog-hopped my way to your blog. The up-and-downsides post grabbed my interest and I ended up reading everything backwards back to the beginning. I love the way you kept on going but recognized some joys along the way.
I'm very sorry about your mother dying. My circumstances have been different but I lost my mom to cancer also and empathize with a lot of what you wrote about how you felt/are feeling.
I hope you finish your book and get it published, because I want to read it. Although I'm sympatico with so much you've written, which draws me in, it almost wouldn't matter what you wrote about. I can't read anything anymore that's poorly written (spoiled by the web-iverse), and your writing is a treat. I'm looking forward to more.
I'm raising a glass to a successful, healthy Alaskan sojourn for you and NSA. And the kitties. Here's to your adventure! Salut!
Knock knock, helloooo, just found your blog. Anybody home?
