Is This Thing On?

Well, it's been awhile, but don't worry, I have excuses.

Actually, my personal routine, or, as close a thing to one that I may have, was altered in the past few weeks by my mother getting a new job. She now works from 3pm to 8pm, but with her commute and settling down after getting home, calls me at 10pm. Every. Night. And guess what time of day your humble blogger used to set aside for his personal blogging therapy? Precisely, 10pm to midnight. While I guess I could sit down and type after that, it wouldn't be about anything that I wanted this blog to be about. It'd be about my Mom's day at work and about who she likes, who she hates, and who's out to destroy her. I forget which comedian(s) said it, but every woman knows one woman who she thinks is out to destroy her. Just a fact.

So after that inescapable emotional tampon work, it's all I can do to just watch something on TV in order to go to sleep easily.

I've also picked up the pace on my job search and really hit the phones and web postings hard. Some leads, but nothing promising yet.

I've also picked up steam on my book proposal. I'm almost done filling in the figurative blanks of each section right now, and within a week I'll start polishing the contents.

While I haven't really posted in the past 3 weeks, I haven't stopped writing down stuff that I would type. The old notebook has a few things in it. I even snapped a few pictures. Perhaps this weekend I'll type all of them up at one sitting.

And then I'll alter my routine to blog after lunch or some other consistent new time. Until then.
