Come what may...

Holy crap. It's almost halfway through January and I've definitely been neglecting my trusty friend here. It's been an incredibly busy year so far, and it just started so I'm excited that we're off to such an eventful couple of weeks.

I had surgery at the beginning of January and was in the hospital for a couple of days. My mom flew out and stayed with me for 6 days...and for those of you who know me (and my family) you know that that's a long time for me and my mom to be in each others company. I was worried we'd have a "Muir Wood incident" referring to the time she and my dad came out to visit and she screamed at me in the middle of the Muir Woods (in front of several terrified tourists). For such a petite woman, she can be pretty vicious. Anyways, all was well this time and I was relieved. She did tell me that I needed new bedding because my comforter was in "unacceptable" condition. Whatever. I have two dogs. They jump on my bed. It's not dirty, it's just a few years old. But she was right so I ordered new stuff. Pictures to follow shortly...

Work has been going extremely well...eerily well. After my surgery I took a week off work and my coworkers all seemed genuinely excited that I was back on Tuesday, even the ones I don't always get along with. I didn't quite know how to receive this at first...but decided to just enjoy it instead of suspiciously questioning their reaction to my return.

I feel optimistic about 2010 so far. I know this year is going to bring a lot of new adventures and I look forward to whatever comes my way. I realize this is a disappointing first post for the New Year...especially since I've been absent for a couple of weeks...but it's late and I've got to get to bed. Fear not, there will be plenty for me to talk about in the coming weeks - promise!
