and it all falls nicely into place, as I hoped it would

I just had a video meeting with the Museum Director (who has been acting as the boss for the Archive division, since ours got hired away to LTU last spring). She totally supports my dropping down to 50% so I can have energy over to work on the new house (for which she congratulates me), and she has extended my contract as a result, so now I have work through the end of August. She hopes they can extend my contract through to the end of the year (after checking to see if I would even be interested--I am, I don't want to go looking for a new job, I would rather have the energy for everything else in life, like the house, the degree, the boyfriend, the SCA, etc), but they will wait on that decision until the new boss for the Archive is on board later this spring and they see if her request to the Regional Government for additional budget was approved.

She also tells me that I am doing an amazingly good job, and that my colleagues really appreciate me and my work. (That last bit was harder to translate than you might imagine, since the some of the phrases used don't carry the same sense if literally translated.)

This means that I have at least the first 3/4 of the year to see if we can transform this house into something that will sell for enough that my next house hits more of my personal sweet spots. That should also be enough time to make some progress on my degree, which is on pause till August, which means any progress I make on that is off the clock, which is a good thing.
