So, I haven't been posting much lately...

[msfledermaus]

I feel bad about it, too. I've had all sorts of things to say--complaints, gossip, bad jokes, all that and more...but I just haven't seemed to have the energy. It felt like life kept pulling me in all kinds of directions, the way life does. But I don't want to be neglectful, and I still get a wonderful, intimate feeling of friendliness when I put in a new post...

I've had some really good downtime this last weekend. I took a little time off, mostly just to be away. Away from work, from making things, from everything. One whole day I made it without knitting or spinning something; I mostly lounged around listening to Chug-Chug the clothes-washer and reading true crime books. I didn't used to read true crime stuff, but I've developed an interest lately. I suspect I'm working through some things--not in a horrible, "I must control my savage urges to keeeeel" sort of thing, more like, "I often feel more vulnerable than I'm comfortable with, and I get nervous about the monsters that hide in plain sight" sort of thing.

Also, autumn. Yeah. Autumn is finally here. Just a little, a breath. Cooler nights. An extra blanket on the bed. I made it through another summer, slogged through it all, just to get here. To the beautiful, golden light on the river, and the leaves showing just a hint of yellow...

It's a good time...

It's okay not to post... unless it's because you're on facebook all the time. ;-)

Muah!

Heh. I don't even really post much on the Face; I mostly peek at what other people are posting about. Or blathering with potential customers on Etsy. Or hiding from the internets with a book. But I miss everybody here so...

((((((((Kevin))))))))

And I'm so glad you and Cindy had a good vacation. Alaska! Whoda thunk it?

Hon. We're both getting ready to hibernate.
That's what I've been calling it anyway.

Chug-chug? *L* Since my cats had their first winter living with the humidifier, we've called it Gluggy.
(they're fascinated with the bubbling of the water when it goes down)

I would love to actually hibernate, sleep the cold winter away, warm and snug. But we get as close as we can:)

Awww, your cats are just so damn cute! I love the name Gluggy for the humidifier.

Don't feel bad... I read 50x more posts than I post myself.
