I feel like I haven’t done any personal posting around these parts lately, which is a shame because I have plenty of things I’d like to share. There’s just been no dang time.

When I haven’t been working 11-hour shifts at work, I’ve been painting the town red. It’s been fun, for sure, but I could use a mental health day to catch up on laundry and cleaning and blog reading (at last count my blogreader was nearing the 600 range and that was after I cleaned it out a bit). I was on the verge of having all my crazy spill out after back-to-back excruciatingly busy days of work coupled with an overloaded inbox and lack of sleep, but I’ve unwound quite a bit after a lovely Tuesday night and an easier day at work today.

Still, my busy schedule isn’t quite ready to let up. I’m spending Friday night and Saturday in Atlanta to see Currer Bell (woo hoo!) and it’s right back to work on Sunday. I think things will be a bit calmer next week, and I’m looking forward to getting back into the running and working out routine that I’ve so missed through these recent busy weeks. And cooking for myself. And continuing to paint the town red.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say with this oh-so riveting post is that I’m sorry I’ve been a bit MIA around the intertubes lately. I’m hoping with a good night’s sleep tonight and slightly less demanding days at work that will change soon.

My parting gift is Ray LaMontagne’s performance on SNL this weekend. The song has been sorta stuck in my head since seeing it. It’s very sweet, and I adore his voice.
