Hi, I'm Home.

Had a lovely, lovely stay in the Pacific Northwest, thanks in no small part to my Twinling and her fabulous family, who put up with me, and mocked me, and let me hang out with them (and the dogs. And the cat). I've now watched more college football than I have since the early 1990's but hey, it didn't hurt at all. :-)

And I can now - thanks to katatomic - say that I've been to the Space Needle like a proper tourist!  (ok, it was partially research.  But partially touristing, too)

I even, thanks to the mini-retreat prior to playing, got almost 20,000 words written in three days.

But now I am home, and glad to be there.  And looking at a LOT of work to dive into.  *rubs hands, gets on that*

Hope everyone had a great start to the New Year!

well, whadayaknow.

Apparently I did make a resolution this year after all. Didn't recognize it until I thought to myself "no, this is the year I stop putting up with that kind of passive-abusive bullshit" and deleted someone from my online life.


(I've gotten rid of those types from my personal life, but I tend to cut people more slack at a (virtual) distance. Not so much any more. If you need something from me: ask. Don't abuse/try to guilt me into giving it. Because I won't.)
