Almost time.

It’s been just about forever since I updated this blog.

It’s been nearly a year. I’ve been busy with all manner of thing.

T-minus how many days until February? Dunno. I seriously thought yesterday was Wednesday (it was actually Thursday). I’m working a really intense temp job in a room with no windows, kinda glad for the sensory deprivation – just broke up with a guy I really liked.

More on this later, perhaps.

It’s weird that you can have so much fun with someone, feel so at ease, and things can still be so not right.

I went into my temp job the day after the breakup. I had worked for the same company back in November, for the first time. Things were rocky for the first week, but by the time the project ended, we were a well oiled machine.

When I went in last week, they’d made me a nameplate. I got hugs from several people that I wasn’t expecting. I felt really…wanted. Needed, even. Remembered. Which was just what I was needing after the relationship experience I just had.

I’ve spent just over a week moping, and am done with the worst of it. I am craving warmth, good friends, a nice glass of wine, a nice meal. A good short story makes things ten times better. Words on a page still beat all. I haven’t been making much music lately, but all that’s about to change.

Because it’s February, and you know what that means. I have a few songs on deck already that I’ll be polishing up. I haven’t sung or written in a long, long while. Months and months. My voice is *mega* rusty right now. I hope my equipment still works. No grand plans or concepts this year, just want to cross the finish line in a graceful fashion.
