My days grow increasingly hectic.  Whose don’t, right?  My classes are piling up as I try to complete this master’s degree that I’ve decided to pursue, Cooper’s first days of kindergarten loom in the near future, I have projects that I’d like to get done around this joint before the snow flies, and whatever else.  My Facebook obsession over the past year, which has led me to neglect my poor blog here, is something that I just don’t have as much time for as I once did.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m still there, I just don’t have the time that I did a few months back.  Not only that, when I began thinking about my blog here this a.m., I realized that my random FB status updates are not a replacement for actual writing, which is something that relaxes me, helps me manage my stress, and is something I need continual work on anyway.  So, here I am.  Back at it.  However, with less time to spend on it, I thought I’d try something new and actually use this forum as a sort of journal….daily if I can.  I expect that my entries will be shorter but more frequent.  At least that’s my goal.
