Now, not to stress myself out, but here are the things I have to do in the next week:
–Go to San Deigo and find a good neighborhood in the northern suburbs where the air is a little cleaner, then find a place to rent. Put down deposit.
–Get a PO Box in the general area where I’ll be renting. Find bookstores and libraries around too.
–Start packing up the house.
–Send in paperwork for new gig.
–Give notice for current rental and turn in last rent check.

And in the next month:
–Pack the house.
–Figure out rental truck, plans for getting down there with cats, etc.
–Clean out rental place in Port Townsend.
–Move.

And by October:
–Get settled into new place. Start new gig. Send out book and some poems before all the fall deadlines are over.

Also, I’ve started getting b12 shots because the supplements weren’t enough to bring up my levels. And the rain here has brought on a fresh case of sinusitis and tonsillitis. I think I’ve had tonsillitis pretty much constantly for the last year.

Other than that, I’m great! Mental health score: 5 out of ten. Physical Health score: 4 out of ten. If I were a D&D character, I’d be looking to grab some healing energy right now. Thanks for your good thoughts.
On the plus side, California is bound to be warmer and sunnier than where we are right now. And I think these changes are all for the better. Sunny skies, better health and poetry-related work ahead!
