My family and I returned to America around four months ago, so life has been hectic, to say the least. My wife remained in Abu Dhabi for quite some time, so being a single dad was quite the challenge. Adjusting to our new lives was chaotic and stressful. I’m a writer by nature, but I haven’t done much to get the demons out of my head for about four months now. In fact, my last post was in June. Sheesh.

The first problem was recognizing my reach. I’ve owned this website six years (if I recall correctly). And I’ve been able to write what’s on my mind freely during that time. When moving to Abu Dhabi, I thought I could continue to stay in contact with friends and family with my post, but I reached a lot more than a few folks in the US.

I got a little stressed when Tiyaanah pointed out that my post was a bit too informative right around the time when people that we didn’t know started asking me questions about Abu Dhabi. Sheesh. I felt bad because I’d essentially revealed that she’d be alone for a few months, which made me a little anxious.

Getting our lives in order. We’re back in America adjusting to rent, weather, traffic, people, culture, and food. Some of these things are good, but others are quite annoying. It’s a matter of perspective.

The kids are healthy as hell. Initially, they struggled adjusting without their mommy, but since we all moved into a house with little dust, we’ve had no allergy attacks. Zero. A few coughs here and there, but nothing major at all. I haven’t even needed to take the kids to the doctor yet, though they have appointments coming up.

I’ll let you know when I figure that out.

For now, I’ll try to post some updates here and there. Hopefully, I’ll find time to get back to my most recent rewrite of Barcode. I have completed it, but I hate it, and I’m rewriting it again.
