Just to let y'all know, I might be missing for a few days, probably around Wednesday/Thursday US time of this week. We are moving to another apartment. Because of . . . developments.

As you may have known, my fiancee and I moved in with my family in Texarkana, Texas for a while in order to save up money to move to Olympia, Washington, and restart our lives. Things were going okay, I have a job working for a medical supply company, and it was busy, but quiet.

Then, recently, in the continued surrealism that is my life, my lunatic stepfather went into the garage where we are staying, physically assaulted us both, and threatened us with a sledgehammer (which he then used to smash all the locks on the door) while yelling "Get out, pagan!"

So we are moving into a new place Wednesday. It's going to take longer to save up, and get to Washington, and honestly, I won't feel safe until I get out of the same town as this lunatic (because, he is a lunatic, a right-wing religious fanatic and heavily armed. (Yes, my stepfather is the walking right-wing American stereotype . . . we have never exactly gotten along to understate it.) And lets just say he fits in very well in Texarkana . . . as opposed to my fiancee and I who fit in much better in New Orleans (and will in Olympia)

So yeah, thought I'd vent a little, but short version . . .might take a day or two to get the internet restored in the new place. And we'll be stuck in Texarkana a bit longer (but hopefully not forever or for too much longer). But, I will be back.
