It’s Been Too Long

So it’s been a long time since I last posted. August, in fact. To be fair, it’s been a strange year.

I posted quite frequently when the pandemic first hit. But sometime during August, Covid hit here and then everything changed. One of our adult children caught it and decided to move back in with us. Our household (a quiet, 2 person, 2 cat household) was suddenly in flux.

And then came the wildfires of September. I actually started a post during that time but it never made it out of the draft file. Our daughter and her boyfriend had just arrived from out of state and we’d had a camping trip planned for months . . . enter the “century” windstorm that hit during our first night of camping. Mix that with the already burning (“contained”) fires and the next thing you know we were evacuated. You get the picture.

So here it is nearly Thanksgiving and it’s time for me to get going again. Try to get back to writing, resuscitate my social media presence, put together a Thanksgiving dinner on my own . . .

But wait

There’s more.

I’m also starting a new job next week!

I’m hoping I’ll still be able to do all the aforementioned things. The job is half-time, so it’s not out of the question.

In the meantime, I found a post in my draft that I hadn’t published, plus one I prepared as a guest post that the owner of the blog who requested it never followed up on . . . so that’s a good start.

Until then, I hope you’ve all been well and thanks for stopping by!
