I still haven't quite made up my mind as to how to feel about missing the holidays with my family this year. I'd definitely had some trepidation about it, considering the differences in our political and religious views, but at the same time I'd already mentally prepared myself for the trip.

That means I can finally start playing a bit of catch-up when it comes to the internet. Let's see how long I have before they find me ( Read more... )
