Ouch Again

This… really happened.

I suppose it doesn’t hurt as bad as the last time it happened for absolutely no reason.

Back. Mostly.

Okay, so here I am. It was kind of a sad, frustrating couple of weeks there, but hopefully things are going back to normal now. Seriously, I have to say it: even if you’re grieving, how can you throw a memorial service from four to eight in the evening and NOT offer food? Because then you just have a service that’s constantly interrupted by growling stomachs.

It’s just common sense.

But it’s all over with now and I can come back to blogging. I don’t think I’m back to my usual sarcastic self, though. But sometimes you have to pretend to be normal before you can actually start to be normal again.

Oh, and because apparently people need a reminder: grief isn’t a competition. Someone sharing how upset they are over something is not an invitation to say how much more upset you are over the troubles in your life.

Seriously.

Back!

Did you miss me? Of course you did.

Well, I had fun as summer officially wound down. And tooooooonnnns of cake. Especially since my mom’s birthday is five days after mine.

Back to business, I want to thank Andrew and Gwen for taking over my blog last week : ). It was super awesome of you since you both have your own blogs and all that. They really went all out. You might want to take a peek if you haven’t already.

Vacation is done—boo. Although I did get a new idea for a book. Apocalyptic, of course. I’m not one hundred percent on the idea yet, but that’s probably because I don’t have the idea completely fleshed out. If I take some time to think about it, come up with an ending, a theme, and all the main characters, it might actually be an “it”, a book I have. to. Write.

But that’ll have to wait (maybe for NaNoWriMo?). For now, I have to get back to writing and editing and visiting all your blogs. What have you been up to lately? How do you feel about the approaching winter? Or, if you’re in the southern hemisphere, summer? And do you think the world is oversaturated with zombie stories or maybe one more could squeeze in?
