A Status Update is Better Than Nothing (I think)

Is it just me, or is it harder to update a blog the longer you let it sit? It's not for want of discussion topics that I left y'all alone out there in the big dark Internet -- I must've half-written five or six posts in the past month, and then set them aside as not enough in relation to how long I'd let the blog sit. Bad mojo all around.

So, I'm literally forcing a status update. It feels woefully inadequate, but it's something.

We had a great holiday. The holiday isn't actually quite over yet. As I write this I'm sitting in my parent's living room in Lincoln; tomorrow we get the family together to do our Christmas thing. It's nice to see my family again. It's actually not been that long since the last time -- my sister and I were here in September. But still.

I've done some writing over the holiday, but not nearly as much as I would've liked. Our computer cache has grown; I helped repair a couple of friends' computers, and in return got to collect some of their unused hardware. This includes an older Macbook actually -- still very functional, if a bit out of date. Once I get the OS updated I'll be able to talk a bit more about what I think of it, but so far I'm actually more pleased than I expected. It's a post for another day.

General winter sickness hit our home in mid-December and laid me on my ass for nearly a week, let up, then hit again. Andy's even been sick this past week. I think only Miles has escaped relatively unscathed.

Miles is officially and for-real-this-time weaned. I also intend to post about that. It's only been about a month (not even quite; I let him nurse briefly when I was feeling super-shitty in hopes of sparing him the cold) so I haven't had a chance to seriously process it, other than just be excited that it's done.

Other than that, it's been really quiet. Not boring or slow, but simply uneventful. I've had tons of thoughts, and I'm trying to get myself back into the habit of being present online.

Looking forward to 2012, y'all! :D
