Not really; there are only 17, and they're just some thoughts I've had, and you don't have to know them before you die, or at all, if you don't want to...
Very timely as I am moving for the first time in 30 years from a small-ish 3 story house to a spacious 1st floor of a duplex. I cannot overestimate the number of times I have thought about how little of my time it will take to clean my new home! I also got a bit burned out by caring for the garden I created. Of course I will likely be an emotional wreck as my house is a jewelbox and so very full of mostly wonderful memories.
But I'm also already planning my housewarming party for some time in April. And I'll be gardening on a smaller scale in various cool pots. I appreciate your comment on getting to know a new place--I'll be getting to know a new neighborhood as I'm staying in the same city.
Wishing you well with all that you are dealing with, and all that you write…so sorry that you have had to make new decisions re publishing…cheering you on.

As a fellow serial mover, I resonate with ALL if this 👌🏻🤌🏻
Particularly taken with the final sentence.

That line about changing a duvet! There is nothing worse. My husband doesn’t get it, but it’s enough to make me cry.
