Kroger had large cinnamon brooms for sale! This is probably the only seasonal decoration I'll get this year since we're moving, but I'm okay with that. The whole apartment smells like cinnamon and I get to have a witchy broom hanging in my kitchen :D I like getting one every year, but I've only ever had small ones. Even when the smell fades, I kind of want to keep this one around all year.

We also got approved to move into another house! It's a tiny two-story that's actually smaller than our current appartment, but it's got a deck and a yard. My pibble will finally have a grass yard! And the new neighborhood has better sidewalks and looks much more walkable, which means I can take her out for exercise, I'm so happy. She's been cooped up at my Mom's for a year and a half longer than was the original plan. I can't wait to finally take her on all the walks she deserves!

I've been playing Magic a lot on Cockatrice, practicing with Husband. I generally like to learn by losing, because I remember things better that way, but always losing is kind of getting frustrating. He's not trying to be mean or anything, it's just that he's got years of experience playing and building out his decks. Even if he built a new deck right before a match he'd still stomp me. At least he's always super patient and answers all my questions even if I think they're stupid because I've probably asked them a million times before.

I really want to write some of my stories. I've had some recent inspiration on one, but it's slow going. World building usually comes pretty easy to me, but for whatever reason this one is giving me trouble. And then on top of that, the motivation to write anything out is pretty much nil.

That said, I think I'm still going to give the writing challenges on [community profile] rainbowfic a go. They're based on an old writing comm I followed in LJ, but was too shy to join before it died. If I want to keep saying I'm a writer, then at some point I actually have to write again.

It seems I got a bit ahead of myself. I went looking to see if there were any muzzle laws for pitbulls where we're moving. Turns out the whole county just straight up doesn't allow pitbulls. We're keeping the house we found, because it would be incredibly irresponsible at this point to drop it and go looking for another so close to moving. Husband brought it up with the realtor since we did specify we had a pitbull on our application. He apologized and said enforcement of the breed restriction is "hit or miss" at the moment.

Considering I just did some google maps exploring in the area, I suppose finding out now is for the best. I would have been been taking my banned dog out for walks within three blocks of the local police station. So for now she stays with Mom for another year.

I also found out the local library branch is even closer, and has a 75 item checkout limit, so I'm just gonna bury myself in books. I'm not sure if I mean that joke in a positive or negative light at the moment, so I'll just leave it open to interpretation.
