It seems some people are under the impression that I'm back! So, I'm not as stealthy as I thought. Do you think posting something gave me away? Ah, who knows.

Well darlings, I'm sick, but I swear, I'm always sick with something. Now, I think I have an ear infection and for the time being, I can't hear out of my left ear. That would be mildly amusing, except there is a large amount of pain to accompany it. I never knew how important it was for me to have both ears in working order. I can barely hear with just one.

My dearest mother decided she wants to start her own company. Now, she's said this many times over the years. This time, she said, Now. Then, sent me off to scout out a place for her website. I have the editing ability of a 2 year old. Actually, considering how quickly children learn, the two year old might be better off! Nonetheless, I found her one and stuck primarily to a template. We have to pay for hosting, but it doesn't take nearly as much time to fiddle with. It even has it's own storefront for us to set up. I wonder if I get to be her partner, I want my own business cards... and a briefcase.

My glasses have gone missing. It's been a few days and I think I will cry. This would be the second pair I've lost in a year, well a year and a few weeks. I found the first pair, crushed to bit. Well, the frames where crushed and there was only one very scratched up lens. This does not bode well. I'm not blind without them, but I do need them for reading and working at my computer. However, I spend half my life reading and working at my computer. Right now I'm fine, but I'll have a nasty headache soon enough.

Christmas Eve, my uncle died. January 5th, I attended his funeral. I saw family I rarely see.

I have not really returned, but I will hover now and then. Maybe I'll be back without even noticing it. I have another story I want to work on, but I'm not sure what era I'd like to use. Anyway, I hope you have had a lovely year. I pray that this new one brings great things for you all.
