Wes and Tom put an offer on a house.  The offer gets accepted.  They begin the process to spruce the house up before moving in:  New white paint on the dark bathroom cabinets; new carpet and tile; ordering a custom desk for the new office; having custom "bookshelves" made for Wes' record collection.  Packing.  And, in another thinning-of-belongings act before the move, Wes sells most of his electronic music gear (a Roland D50 synthesizer, two Yamaha TX802 synthesizers, a Yamaha RX5 drum machine, and "recording" software and hardware), which he hadn't touched for years.

Health-wise, Wes starts having rising fears about the lipodystrophy that has been changing the look of his face and legs this year; and previously his chest and arms.  He also suspects the fat-redistribution that's going on has something to do with his increasing level of arthritis in his hips and shoulders at age 37.
