Yes, I really, truly, do exist...
And for those of you who have been wondering--I am alive.
I know I've been absent from this blog for several months. Nearly half a year. Ouch. Time does fly. And in real, flesh and blood, life, well, I've been missing for a little over a month. Ok, so some of you who know the hours I keep and how rare it is for me to actually appear in the sun lit hours, that flesh and blood part may seem a bit of a myth. Contrary to the popular rumor though, I have not morphed into a vampire. Well, I don't think I have. I did recently have a run in with a stake barely missing my heart, and ended up with a 2" long gash on my right cheek/smile line. The doctor tells me he doesn't think it will scar. In another week or two it should be completely healed. (Ok, the stake was a rusted metal garden stake--no wood anywhere near it, but you get the point. Or at least I did.)
Soon, I promise, I will make another entry and share a little of what has happened in my life in the past couple of months. I'm not going to promise that I will appear again tomorrow or even next week. At the moment I am very busy with both by day job and my writing/editing stuff, and battling my room-mate for the right to use my computer once in a while. But heck, what do you expect? He bought a new camera. We went on a 3 week trip. He took 8500+ photos. I downloaded them for him and haven't seen my lap top since. :-)
Gotta get back to work, but I will return.

At least you're alive. I was beginning to worry, but since I'm not posting a lot of personal stuff myself right now, I can't complain!
Yep, still alive and healing quickly. I'm hoping to be rid of the bandages by Thanksgiving Day.
I think my doctor and his associates actually had some fun with this injury. I'm, for lack of a better description, a tetanus reactor. Which means I haven't had a tetanus booster in more than 20 years--no one would give me one. But after much consultation, my GP, the local disease specialist and a nearby allergist have decided that it might be worth taking the risk of trying the new vaccines. Actually, my GP and the disease specialist are worried I will have a worse reaction this time around, but the allergist thinks the vaccines have been refined and changed enough that I won't have a problem. Still, he will put me under observation for a few hours and may do small doses at a time. Typical routine for an allergist, and something that he is set up to do. So now, I just have to get up the courage to take the risk and make the appointment.
I really hope the allergist is correct, and I won't have a reaction this time around. It definitely wasn't a fun ride the first time.
I will be nervous for you. My best friend is also a reactor. When they tried the (artificial?) vaccine on her, since she reacted so badly to the normal one, she woke up in the hospital a day or so later. Her fever hit 106 or something briefly. The doctors lost five years of their lives, I'm sure.
Needless to say, she will take her chances with tetanus.
I'll get around to my Lyme adventures of the past year if you explain the amusing injury.
