If it seems like I’ve fallen off the face of the Earth…

…it’s because I sort of have.

First, I went to Iowa to visit family for my birthday. Was gone for an extended weekend, and understandably, updating the blog was not a high priority. But I figured I’d get back into the swing of things once I got back.

Then I took a job that sucked up almost all of my time, making it difficult to write, much less post an update. Perhaps if I had something of a routine before, it would have been easier to manage my time and fit blogging into it. But since the job was only for a week, I figured I’d just soldier through and get back into blogging after it was done.

Then yesterday, I had toe surgery. And a motorcycle accident.

Since I don’t have health insurance (thanks Obama!), getting back onto my feet is going to be tricky. Fortunately, I’ve got enough saved up in the emergency fund to handle both. The toe is healing fine; it’s the shoulder that’s giving me grief. I think I reopened an old injury that never healed properly, which may be good in the long run but really really sucks in the short term.

Point is, I’m all right, but it’s going to take some time before I get back into writing and blogging regularly. Hopefully not too long, but right now, I’m just focused on recovery.

I’ll leave you with the trailer for The Man in the High  Castle, which I’ve been watching as I recover. It’s a fantastic show—I highly recommend it.
