Awhile back I invited my mom up for Christmas, and Christmas turned to new year, and then she has a trip out sailing planned for several months starting next Wednesday. But it turns out she has time to come up tomorrow, and to then go back down Wednesday and catch her trip to, um, I honestly don't remember if it was back from Tahiti or something about Japan or something up the west coast or anything about it really. I got a text from her today saying she could come up tomorrow, and did that work. So.

I had Avi scheduled to come up on Wednesday: he's post-breakup and having a rough time, I threw out the offer, and he's taken me up on it. So then he'll show up when Mom leaves until the weekend.

Then I have until the middle of the following weekend with Tucker and Tucker disappears for, well, two to three months give or take a couple weeks. Gonna be a big bucket of people all at once, and after that I suspect I'll enjoy some quiet. If I'm honest, probably somewhat before that.

Then I likely have another visitor in April or May, and in June Josh comes up for maybe a bear hunt.

July and August are for breathing, I guess - I'd like to go down to the coast and visit Adrian and Ellen if I can swing it, maybe once the baby pigs are on the ground - and then I have a Dionysian revel and an Orphic thing and I'd like to host my Threshold international pig-killin' and cannin' thanksgiving.

I guess the year is shaping up.

Gonna hold my breath and get swept under a deluge of people first, though.

that is a lot of visitors in a short time. i hope it all feels good while it's happening!

So far so good! And hopefully mom is the only person who tries to sharpen my knives and instead wrecks them.

:facepalm:

are they recoverable? i would imagine that most visitors would not make that particular over-enthusiastic mistake.

They're not great knives to start with and it's just a matter of a little time to put them back right. It does make me want to replace them even more, though.
