Back (It's all right!)

Wow. Almost two months since my last posts. To be fair, I started a draft in early February, but got side-tracked and never posted it. It seems a bit pointless now - it was basically saying that I was all better (from whatever illness I had at the time) and detailing an awesome trip through Target's clearance section. To quote Mike Birbiglia, "That's not a blog, that's a text message."

Honestly, I just haven't had much new to say. I've been a sort of a depressed funk as tends to happen to me towards the tail end of winter. So I'll just hit the main highlights and you can judge for yourself whether I should have been blogging them:

• I haven't made much progress on the apartment or my office, though I did enlist Dan to help move and reorganize some bookshelves.
• I checked out a local technical school where I intend to apply and get a quick 1-year accounting certificate so I can get a "real" job (well, one where I make actual money on a regular basis.)
  
• I had a terrible infection on my chin that has finally gone away with the help of strong antibiotics.
• One of my nieces turned 3, but celebrated her birthday at Disney World so I didn't get to be there. (Later she, her mom, me, my mom and my other niece all met up at the Mall of America for lunch, which was fun. The girls had a blast on the merry-go-round.)
• Dan and I joined a gym, again. He's been pretty good about going every day after work - me, not so much.
  
• I bought new business cards with my new PO box address, new web address, new graphics, etc.
  
• I got a custom order for a set of coasters from Final Fantasy 7 which was challenging.
  
• I've migrated about half of my current items from my old Etsy shop to my new Etsy shop.
• I made and tested prototypes for a few new projects - crocheted ponchos, crocheted bath poofs, "mug mat" sized coasters, etc.

So yeah. I've been busy but just haven't had a lot to say until these last couple of weeks, in which I've been so busy that I haven't set aside time to think about blogging. I'll most likely write separate entries about those last few items, but I don't want to post them all today and burn myself out again. Baby steps.
