Hullo, friends.

Gosh, it's been a bit. I've been bad. Like I have previously said, my life has been very incredibly busy for quite some time now, but for the past couple of months, it's been even more so.

You see, a few years back, when y'all knew me as another woman in another form, I was working as a full-time freelance writer and editor. And it was glorious. But then the bottom fell out of the market and, well, you know the rest. So I sucked it up, broadened my skill set, used my love of the Internet as a communication medium, and retooled myself as a social media marketing type person.

But, you know, I think there's a sort of person who is naturally good at that, who thrives on it. And I don't think I'm that sort of person.

The company I work for is amazing, my boss is great, lots of things about it were fantastic. But the fact is that I'm just not cut out to make a living at social media. I'm good at it, I guess, but not great. And there are things I'm pretty great at. And I'd rather do those instead.

A bit ago, I was offered an opportunity to return to more writing/editing-centric position, still Internutty, still social, but not client-focused. Super geeky stuff. Really cool.

So I've been working on that transition. This is going to be a huge, incredible big deal for me--a chance to really do what I want to do...research geeky shit and write about it. Like academia, without the rampant douchebaggery. It's...well, let's just say I've been pinching myself for days.

But between working out heavy and hard, making every meal from scratch, meeting farmers in dark alleys to buy food from them, working more or less two jobs, and sleeping, I haven't had a whole lot of time to update this. But life is good. Fuck, life is great. I have amazing, supportive kind people to whom I owe so much.

My mama and daddy trained me to count my blessings.


I need quite a few more fingers for this job.

Love to everyone.
