It’s been about nine years since I last made an entry. Not like I haven’t tried or anything. I’ve got drafts on drafts. Drafts that started as a promising concept, but never went any further than the title field. For instance, “Getting Real Tired of Your Shit: Dresden Edition” from 2014? Probably some intended rant about the time I figured out that I never wanted to go back to that city ever again. What about “Life Fartners” from 2016? Not a clue. If I had to guess, I wanted to share about cohabitating with a partner for the first time—but all it’s got is about 250 words about my last trip to Oklahoma City and how I was happy that it wasn’t for a funeral.
I come back to the blog a couple of times a year and contemplate putting down some thoughts, some updates, anything…
Every time I stop by, I think about how so much time has passed since the last entry. Should I do a recap? Should I finish one of the (many) cliffhangers? Should I just jump back into the here and now and keep it moving? And then I realize:
Surf Ninjas forever
At the end of 2024, however, I was able to tie up some loose ends and suddenly found myself with multiple somethins. But not a lot of time on my hands and also… I don’t think I can word very good anymore. Still, it’s a different vibe than those in-between years. I find myself wanting to write; I just need to re-train the muscle a bit. As usual, I make no promises—for I am a very busy lady.
I will at least knock one thing off the list that might help me get my shit together. Here’s a rundown of (not quite) everything that happened in the last nine years since I last wrote. There are for sure a couple of points that will become their own entries with more details. Mostly I want to clear the slate and see if there’s some thoughts popping in my brain worth sharing.
Consider yourself recapped.
