what a long strange...
I feel weird to be so absent from LJ lately, not even reading my flist for weeks on end let alone posting anything of substance. Life has just been SO busy and I have so little energy for...anything.
Maybe at some point I'll manage to write something about:
* Isaac's first week of kindergarten (capsule summary: it went great, he loves it)
* commute and dropoff/pickup issues that are driving me to distraction
* ongoing troubles with Ruthie's daycare
* ongoing troubles with Ruthie's sleeping habits
* financial yadda yadda, blah blah
* work stuff
* books what I been reading (Camouflage by Joe Haldeman, Water for Elephants, Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, among others)
* food what I been cooking (corn chowder most recently)
and so forth.... But don't hold your breath.
I keep thinking that sooner or later Ruthie will start letting me sleep through the night (I'm not picky; a single solid 5-hour chunk per night, consistently, would be awesome) and then I'll magically have more energy for, well, everything. It starts to seem clear that this isn't going to happen unless I take steps to push it along. But I don't have the energy to figure out what those steps are...vicious cycle anyone?
