What the Heck Happened to ME?

So I haven't posted here in forever because it has been an exceptionally crappy year.

First my aunt died unexpectedly

Then my father was diagnosed with cancer

After a long battle my father died this summer

Less than a month later I had to have emergency abdominal surgery (not fun)

While out from work for 2 months because of the surgery I had to move (a bit hard to do when you aren't supposed to lift anything)

And now (finally) my life is on a somewhat even keel

I am sure nobody even remembers this blog exists... but that's ok... because soon some friends and I are going to launch a newer better group blog.

My hope is that a group blog will pull the pressure off me to post... while att eh same time keeping up enough pressure to guilt me into posts. (trust me it makes sense in my head)

Well, until my super cool new blog is launched I got the itch to blog... and this old homestead is still here....
