hello again

It's December. This is probably just about the worst time of the year to renew the blogging commitment, perhaps only surpassed by the dreaded and overwhelming first week of school or that week after school lets out when I'm busy laying comatose on the couch without showering for days on end (hey, recovery is a process, people). There is laundry wrinkling in my dryer and there are dishes crusting in the sink as I write. It looks like Christmas threw up in my living room with decorations strewn everywhere, boxes piled in corners, and pine needles clinging to every available surface. These are the projects I should be tackling. But the call to write was strong today. Perhaps it is due to the recent surge of blogging among my friends, or at the least my new awareness that my friends have blogs that they actually update consistently. Huh. Novel. So I thought I'd give it a go again and see what comes out. It may last a week, a month, or more likely, a sporadic number of days spanning several years, but no matter. I've got nothing better to do.
