Anyway, I have regular escape fantasies, but it's been a long time since I've thought about Crete.

10-15 years ago, back in MA, my fantasy was to load up the dogs in the SUV, throw in a tent, a sleeping bag, and some books and just ... drive north. I figured sooner or later, the roads would stop, and I'd part, walk another mile or two into the woods, and pitch the tent.

then the dogs and I would just stay there, reading books, hanging out, frying up spam in a pan over a small campfire Dreamed about that more or less every day for a decade or more.

in retrospect, [ day ] dreams like that are telling you something important I ignored it for a decade I should have fixed my life /reduced my anxiety earlier, but it seemed impossible to escape in retrospect, it wasn't

Forget the hero with a thousand faces, we've got the daydream with a thousand faces. But yeah. I think you're right. And I think I'm correct in my plan to stick through project X, Y, and Z, but I'm worried I'm going to let that end date keep slipping out past that.

You're in a better mental space than I was. Here's what I knew 15 years ago: * this path is intolerable ; it can never succeed * I can not give up on this path the cognitive dissonance was killing me you know the truth a deadline that slips A BIT is fine no exit plan isn't

what's the difference? if you slip a deadline 1 day per day, you're making zero progress if you slip a deadline 1/2 a day per day, you are what's your [ current ] deadline?

A year, approx. Let's push it slightly and say spring '22. Goals are, in essence: House projects finished (spring '21 for the major ones, I hope) Focus put back on painting, with enough solid pieces done to have those working for me for a while. BnB income squirreled.

Couple weeks ago, had a realtor friend do an informal walkthrough & advice on how to proceed. Was useful, and pleasant to hear for that matter.

curious re realty advice (I'm a RE junky, and going through involuntary cold turkey - inventory on http://realtor.com in town is down to roughly ZERO bc winter / covid / city slickers buying up stuff )

Didn't end up being anything too esoteric, "things look good, yeah, finish your projects." Did suggest that, if I can make the BnB section flow a little more like a single-family dwelling as I finish the things there, it's likely to command a premium.

remind me how the house is broken up? 2 halves? 3 thirds? other? would it sell as a two family house, or something else?
