So...um, do you hate me?

I know I haven't talked to you in ages. But it's nothing personal, really!! Life just sometimes gets all backed up and the idea of writing is overwhelming because if we were in touch regularly it wouldn't be so bad to keep you up to date...but when it's been two months, the idea of telling you everything that's happened just makes my eyes crossed.

Suffice to say it's been busy. Ultimately fine, but busy.

Skipping over things like my birthday and the start of a new school year, teaching is going pretty well this year. Like, I actually have control over my class and everything. And I had to do a presentation in a school today and even though they were all talking and talking and talking I didn't bust out in hives and want to throw up like usual. Look at me, learning and growing once more. Miss Alli moved here....um, at some point (beginning of July?) and it's been rocking like Bob. It's just great to have her around and another good friend to see on a regular basis. My niece will be born really, really soon. I went kayaking and parasailing on my vacation. I am, as always, struggling with staying on task and dedicated to exercising and eating well. And, of course, let's not forget such broad and generic things as "accepting myself as I am" and "living in the present, not looking too far into the future and getting stressed."

Hopefully I will be more dedicated to the task at hand...documenting my life on a semi-regular basis in a somewhat engaging and humorous way. One can always hope, at least.
