is me – busy. I was slammin’ last week to get my freelance stuff done enough to start my new full time gig this week, which has also been humming along.

Fun fact: I pulled an all-nighter on freelance work the night before my first day! Nothing says “I care” like showing up to work with no sleep. I don’t think I came off as too drugged, tho. At least, I’m still employed as of this evening.

It was a bit gratifying, although sad, that Amira and Janece took it hard. Amira cried most of the way home from dropping me off the first morning, and Janece admitted via chat that she was also a bit “weepy”. I’m glad that living with my usual prickly intrasigence every day for the last years didn’t entirely put them off of missing me. And, yes – even though I’ve been pretty involved with the transition, I’ve missed having them around a lot, too. It’s truly the hardest part of not working from hom.

Hope you’ve all been well – all 2 or 3 of you. More later as I get into this new groove.
