I'm Back!

Oh my god, I've been a terrible blogger. A terrible, no good, very bad blogger. But, really, everything but myself is to blame.

Really.

I was going to post Monday, but I had forgotten what a pain the butt summer school hours could be. I came home absolutely exhausted, and promptly forgot that I ever had any plans other than washing my face and collapsing into bed. This whole week has been rather nuts, between graduation and the doggie finally out of his cone (I kind of already miss it), but now things should calm down. My schedule is (more or less) set, and now I can carve out a good time to write. I'm not promising that I'm going to write every day, because sometimes I'm pretty damn lazy, but it's a significant chunk of my time that's going to be devoted to writing. So that's something.

But that's my writer life! There's more to me than that! Right? I mean...we went to the movies last week (Mad Max, and I loved it and now I have to question everything that I thought I knew and loved). And then the comic book store (Bitch Planet #4 is waiting patiently for me). I've been reading the same two books for about a thousand days now. At least a thousand days.

I don't know what happens in the summer. I get all these hours that I love (I'm a late afternoon person) and then I do absolutely nothing with them. Okay, I may have made the mistake of buying Lego Jurassic World, but that's not my fault. Lego really shouldn't make any more games that look absolutely fun and that are based on one of my favorite movies (the first one. Really, did you think any of the others would be up there?). I just get home, see my animals, and then want to lounge on the couch for the rest of the sunlight hours. Believe me, I thought long and hard if I wanted to even sit down in my office and type this out. Not because I didn't want to update the whole half person that reads this, but because my arms deserve a break after lifting pens and pencils all day, right?

Look, I solemnly swear to be better. Really. I just had a week. A long, crazy, chaotic week. The first week of summer school is always like that, and with the added bonus of all those other events, writing and reading and cleaning were pushed to the side. But now I'm back and my resolve is now strengthened!

After a full night of reading and Lego Jurassic World, of course.
