Hello loyal minions and/or readers of my blog. I know I've gotten a bit behind on entries so I'm writing this small addendum to assure anyone who is concerned that the project is still a go. I have the next two-three weeks of things decided and I have yet to skip a day.
Enough with the back-patting. I'm writing this more to apologize and explain my written tardiness. I'm sorry. Ok, golden. The apology is done. Now for the explanation.
Most people who know me well know that a well timed Kodak commercial will make my one-blue-one-green pair of eyes well up with tears of touched admiration. That young mother saved a kitten from a burning tree and then fell in love with a firefighter? Aww. Despite being perfectly willing to cry about spilled milk, the drop of a hat and (the perfect storm) a hat dropped into spilled milk... well... apparently when it matters, I'm not a big fan of crying in front of people.
Like all people, I do need some time to mourn and I feel a lot more comfortable doing it privately. I don't want the pitying "how you doin'?"s every time I talk to people, but a side effect of that is that comedy isn't exactly flowing from my pores at the moment. I am sure, with time, it will be easy to see the joy in little things. Right now though, it takes a lot of work.
I don't know if any of you have ever had to work to be joyful. Its worth the work. That being said... my hope is to get back in track some time in the next couple days to a week in terms of writing. I've had really wonderful experiences these past few days (except doing my taxes... holy Uncle of Sam did that suck) and I don't want to sell them short because sharing the joy in them would be "too hard". So, instead, I'm going to make you wait. So... ya know... suck it up.
Finally (and most importantly in this entry), I wanted to say thank you to the people who offered kind words of condolence both to me and to my parents. If there was ever a question in your minds about if your words mattered - let me assure you - they made all the difference in the world. They made an unbearable situation bearable. Thank you all.
