Sooooooo... You wanna know where I've been

No where... As usual, I have let life get in the way of the oh-so-important work of blog posting (note the pensive, thoughtful look on my puss).

But fear not-- while my blog may be silent (for multi-month intervals), yours truly is still puttering along-- enjoying the (finally) brisk fall weather & keeping my head above water. Sound familiar? I wish I had something gripping to share-- that I've been busy tending to lepers on Molokai, feeding orphans in New Delhi slums, doing good deeds. Not so much...

I HAVE been busy with work-- starting October 1 I shifted from working full-time for the first time homebuyer education program to the originally proposed job-share. It's been more than interesting, working out balancing time evenly between the two jobs (and believe me, BOTH boards of directors believe in getting their fair share!). I've also been traveling 1-2 days a week, either for work or doctors appointments (I've had to go to Morgantown to the WVU Eye Clinic-- but things seem to be resolving, so no worries). My mother also had surgery for her torn rotator cuff 6 weeks ago, so I've been playing step-and-fetch it for her during her recovery-- laundry, chauffeur services, etc. On top of that, I've been doing some freelance writing for a local publication, InWheeling Magazine. I had two articles in the debut issue, an article in the up-coming holiday edition, and two more proposed for the spring issue.

That busy enough for you?

Lots of other trivial fun (and not so fun) tidbits have popped up in the interim, but since 99.9% of you neither know the persons involved, nor would you be remotely interested in hearing their life stories, suffice to say that there have been inordinate levels of other people's drama that has inserted itself in my day to day doings. No biggie-- nothing insurmountable, just the usual stuff that throws a spanner in the works of daily operations. Cest la vie!

In typical fashion, this is all the bone I'm going to throw for right now-- I have to get BACK to the pleasurable pastime of typing up minutes for last month's neighborhood watch meeting (next one is tomorrow). Until my next blog-o'-joy topic springs to mind, dear readers, know that I'M STILL HERE :~D
