I'm Baaaacckk

Well, after a very long hiatus from this blog, and a couple month hiatus from Facebook, I'm back (on this blog at least).  I think I'm leaving Facebook for good - it started out as a just-for-the-summer decision, but I think it's going to be permanent.  I went back on FB today because I was going to post some vacation photos, but I was instantly reminded why I got off of it to begin with.  People are annoying and Facebook adds nothing good to my life.  I'm just going to have to quit being lazy and use this blog instead, even though it requires more effort.

A lot of things have happened since I've posted last.  A few really terrible things, the worst of which was the loss of my best friend and soulmate Lucy last April.  It's been over a year and I still feel lonely and lost and like I'm missing part of myself.  I don't think that feeling will ever go away.

Some good things have happened too.  I started a new job at the US Environmental Protection Agency, which I truly love.  I enjoy going to work every day, which was completely unimaginable previously.  We also have a new family member - Murphy!  I can't stay too sad looking at this goofy face every morning!
