I was all dedicated to post this weekend after being in Bloomington and being reminded that my friends would like to know what is going on with my life. The problem is having time to actually create anything to say - whole sentences just seem overwhelming sometimes.
It isn't that I'm not being reflective, it is just that all my reflection is happening offline. For example, I've had tons of conversations about the workshop I was at, but haven't written a thing about it. All my writing time is going into crazy other projects, like two presentation proposals due tomorrow and one award nomination due yesterday. I'm pessimistic that we'll win because I think the competition will be stiff, but I feel okay about the nomination. Especially since I ultimately pulled it together in something like 4 hours. (Significantly self-plagiarized.)
Another whirlwind week ahead where I won't have time to respond to enough e-mail messages and won't get home earlier than 7 pm any day. Oh well, next week is a four-day week. And maybe this will start a new habit of posting occasionally!

welcome back.
I was wondering where you two went off to. I thought perhaps walruz and cozy couldn't fraternize anymore or something because of the job switch...
Good luck with it all. Let me know if you need anything.
