My dear friends…

As at least one person may have noticed my activity has become rather lax as of late. I feel that I should at least explain some of this so that no one thinks that I've gone and hurt myself or completely deserted you all. Truth is that I decided to take a couple classes this term at a local college and they've been taking most of my focus lately. I do plan to be around, but I probably won't be as active, and there is a possibility that I'll just be able to pop in from time to time to give a little update like this.

I'm doing well, school has been slightly herder than I remember, though that may be because I've been out a couple years and my brain is not used to being back in study mode. I have a set of grandparents that aren't doing so well, they are both starting to go downhill faster than expected, and finally taxes and figuring out yearly budgets for school and personal expenses are rather difficult. I'm thank full that I mostly only have to worry about school and family at this point though.

so that explains some things. Also to Serene Grace, I'm going to have to postpone those CSS lessons for a while, I hope you'll still teach me when I get time.

I hope you 'enjoy' your school life! 'Enjoy' as in feel your life value accumulating points, even though it's stressful.

Good for you Gerri. I am glad you decided to go back to school. I need to do the same thing. I was wondering why I haven't seen you. Yeah going to school does take a lot of time. But it will be worth it in the end. Hopefully if you do get time you will stop by here. ^^
