Hello Again

Hello there. Yes, I know, it's been three weeks since I've posted. That's the longest, I think, that I've gone without writing here.


I don't have any good excuse or reason for not writing. It results from a culmination of a lot of little annoyances rolling up into one great big ball of bleck. You know, like being sick, the fact that it has RAINED damn near EVERY DAY in October (and no, I'm not exaggerating, this is the wettest October on record), and it's getting colder and darkness is coming earlier, and I love my job but hate the hour-long commute, and wah wah wah. See what I mean? It's just sad.

The kicker is that writing is part of my therapy - I feel better after I get it out of me, so to speak. But everytime I'd start something, it would devolve into a pity party or a rant, and I just don't want to be That Blogger Who Whines All The Time. Occasionally, it's okay to let it all out, but this was just getting ridiculous. So I didn't post it. But I did write it. And then I felt a little better.


Anyway. Onward I trudge.


Married life is good. I'm in the process of changing my name and isn't that paperwork fun? Although the Social Security office was pretty painless - I only had to wait about 5 minutes for an employee to do my paperwork. I guarantee the driver's license wait won't be that short. Boys have it so easy - they don't have to change anything.

Maddy is playing basketball on her class team. I'm happy to see her playing a sport that she enjoys and that she's pretty good at, too. She's getting so tall. It seems that over the last few months she's gotten taller and thinner, too. Not that she was fat, but she's starting to look like a teenage girl. Because I'm ready for that phase.

Overall, life is good, if I stop whining long enough to realize that it's really not all that bad.

I was wondering how you were going. Glad that married life is going well.

Just popped on to say hi, now I've got to go and mark some practice essays for my son. His final English exam is on Friday. (Your Thursday.) Wish him luck!

I know what you mean about the rain. It seems to have dampened my writing as well. Can't seem to get it going again either. Glad you're back.

Hello again! I am telling you - between hormones and all of this rain I am about ready to just find a big old hole and live in it for a while - like bear-hibernation style. I fell ya.
