​A few of my readers may have noticed my blog updates have been sporadic at best the past several months. There’s a good reason for this: I’ve gone through a few major life changes over the past year, and those things have taken priority over writing whimsical posts about dieting or the joys of discovering a new chin hair and plucking it before a coworker points it out to you. In the past twelve months, I’ve had major surgery, lost my job, started a new, better job, had some of the most important people in my life get diagnosed with major health issues, gotten divorced, and become the primary food dispenser and attention-giver to a dog. All of these things alone require a lot of energy to handle. To have a bunch of them going on at once has, in short, made it impossible for me to focus any time on churning out witty anecdotes about the cadaver bone I now (proudly) sport in my back.
 
I know there’s a story there in the cadaver bone thing. What I’m saying is I don’t have the energy nor the desire to write that story right now.
 
After thinking long and hard about how much I dislike the guilty feeling I get when another Friday rolls around and I don’t have another entry ready to go, I’ve decided to put this blog on hiatus until life calms down a little. I apologize if this is traumatic or upsetting to anyone (like my mom or Auntie Joanne, my two most faithful readers). My hope is to jump back into it someday, but for now, I need a break.
 
As does the dog. She’s doing her little “I’m about to go potty, you want me to do that here, or shall we go outside?” dance right now. Forgive me, but I have to go for a while.
 
I’ll see you again soon. Thanks for reading. I'm okay with this.
