Just thought to pop on while I had a second to dispel the premature rumors of my demise. I am alive and fairly well.

I'm having a couple stupid health issues; mainly that my iron and b-12 levels are practically non-existent. I have two months to bring them to the minimum acceptable standard or I have to start weekly shots. :( It's amazing I can heave my butt out of bed in the morning to go to work... but I do.

Speaking of work, a large project crawled out of the muck and mire and adhered itself to my back. It is sort of monkey shaped now that I look at it more closely. It's taking up all of my time between the hours of 6am and 9pm (factoring in for commute time); off and on weekends as well. When I'm not doing that -- and my normal work responsibilities--I know work smarter not harder (shove it buster!)  I am still trying to bring my house into working order. Lots of money spent; lots of time spent; little to show. :(  All it due time.

So... rather than be a big downer on all y'all, I've been managing on my own. I'm sure when things get back to normal I'll regale you with boring stories of cats and that indescribable thing that is my life.

Cheers and hugs.
