Still here, still breathing, still moving forward. Mostly I've been quiet due to a combination of travel (yay) and work stuff (definitely not yay, but there are some things in the wind that are at least hopeful), but I'm still reading ( Read more... )

You know, sometimes I think that stating something aloud (or in writing) is just a dare to the universe to prove me wrong. It's not rational, of course -- and yet sometimes I wonder ( Read more... )

In the spirit of not letting too much time pass without an update, have a few semi-random bullet points about things that have been going on with me!

For some reason, this week feels both longer and shorter than it actually was. I can't well explain why or how, but there it is. In any case, I'm taking this article to heart and very much looking forward to doing some gardening this weekend. Hopefully the weather will continue to cooperate and I'll be able to sustain my enthusiasm long enough ( Read more... )
