Pulse check

Just a quickie to let everyone know that I (and this blog) am still alive and well. I've been meaning to put together a post on my first week (now crawling into week-and-a-half) back, but to be honest, so far there just hasn't been all that much that's been terribly exciting. It's a lot of indecisive ponderings about living arrangements and the future in general, with a bit of mixed contemplativeness on the past, both recent and otherwise. But not a lot of entertainment value, really.

Plus, I am back to work, albeit only half-time so far, so that's obviously cutting into my blogging time. Although I was working when I started this thing and found time for it, so that shouldn't be too much of an excuse.

So yeah... my week in a nutshell:

Went sailing with Dad and Judy my first full day back. That was great, except for a little engine mishap that led to us being towed up the Clinton River at the end of it. Not so great. Nothing like being welcomed home with a three hour tour. A three hour tour.

I got to spend some good quality time with my nephews, and have been gradually reconnecting with friends that I haven't seen in a while, too. Oh yeah, and I made it to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on opening night. Let's just say I hope I enjoy Book 7 more than Movie 5.

So yeah... nothing exactly comparable to spontaneously deciding to take off and fly to the Aran Islands for a couple of days, or planning a few days in France... But some big stuff should be in the works soon with living arrangements, so I'll keep you posted as I start to figure that out.
