I think, on a quick count, I've racked up nine homes in 36 years. Apparently this makes me an underachiever.
I sit in the underachiever corner with billytea. I'm up to 7 in 27 years, although soon to be 8.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My parents have owned their house since I was 8. In that period there have been postings to the UK, Canada and Russia. But they still came back to the same house when they had a gap inbetween. And they live there now.
It would only count as one, then, I'm thinking.
Perkins, nothing recieved yet. Hopefully today. It's funny--my chocolate reflex is to share, but there are way too many people at work, and krav already got the chocolates, and even so, my definition of share gets a little "You. Oh, hell, not you, don't even look. Okay *you* can have, but just one." I'd fail preschool for sure. So I eat them all myself! No sharing with people who aren't at my place which means no sharing!
Jesse--received, and thanks. I've skimmed, and it looks very interesting. I fear for my wonkness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No need to fear, ita! I love books in my field.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
17 homes total in 34.5 years.
14 since the age of 18.

It's not my field, I swear. That's why I fear.

I don't think I'm at a record, but I've managed to rack up 21 more or less what could be considered permanent address changes in 48 years. That's counting the two different places in Spain as one because I had an FPO for those 3 years. I haven't included couches slept on or bases where I went for training between permanent duty stations even if I could because I pretty much never got mail there even if I was there for 4-6 months. However, I can say I've been in the same city now for 10 years, which is a pretty awesome achievement in itself after spending so much time picking up and going in the Navy. (If counting all the couches and in-between places, a grand total of 29.)
Tom, pretty room!

I'm doing this for survival, not for enjoyment.
That's why I worry.

Whee indeed!

Hey, some of Heidi's maternity clothes were designed by last year's designers!
I like the Kevin Johnn dress, but not so much the Kara Saun dress.
