Update ... sorta

[larah33]

I want to post an update, really I do. But so much has happened to people around me that my little life pales in comparison. So I think, "I'll spend a day or two coming up with something really profound and worth posting," and then days go by and I still haven't written anything. And bullet points of what's been happening with me in reaction to events feels like it would be doing a disservice to those things, but if I don't post something cricketkate will worry.

So, here is my post. I'm alive, and I'm commenting where applicable. Otherwise ... *sits in the corner quietly*
