I've spent the entire month of April setting up at the new house. I moved around a lot as a kid, and I remember moving into a new place being pretty simple. I picked which direction my bed would face, which wall the dresser would go on, opened up my toy boxes, and that was it.
It's a little different when you're an adult. Now I'm suddenly responsible for deciding which kitchen cabinets are for food and which ones are for dishes. Which walls to hang pictures on. What color curtains to hang, and in front of which windows. Which cat gets a bath first after two of them wander into the fireplace. You know, standard stuff. The movers also turned a lot of things upside-down. I don't mean that figuratively. I'm talking about, for example, my workbench that had all my kitbashing tools in it. I'm not really sure I understand the thought process. Instead of doing that, it would have been a lot less effort to just... not do that. But, the point is that I've spent a lot of time dumping desk drawers on the floor and reorganizing them. Turns out the only thing keeping a lot of my tools in their proper places, this entire time, was gravity. Who knew? However, I did get a chance to set up the all-old, all-same Final Fantasy IV project bookshelf, so that was nice. Put the heroes on the same shelf with the monsters, this time, since they had previously been segregated. So, in lieu of a new project for this month, let's just take a step back and appreciate what I've accomplished up to this point. I've been doing these Final Fantasy IV monsters since 2017 and I've come a long way. We're right around the halfway mark. According to my records, I've gotten 99 monsters done and there are only 104 left to do. I don't think anybody else in the world has attempted this before. (There's probably a reason for that, honestly. No sane person would ever try!) The workshop is almost fully set up and ready, so with a little luck, and a bit more determination than I showed in April, maybe we'll see something new come to fruition in May!
