Guess Who’s Back? · 6:49pm Sep 11th, 2021
Hello readers! Guess who’s returned?
Yeah, I know. It’s not much of a guess. And I’m not quite 100% back yet. Physically, I’m back at my home at long last (after nearly four weeks of being away), so that’s not a worry. But as to the other kind of physically, I’m still pretty sore and tired. My fingers feel like they’ve been through the wringer, as do my hands and wrists. But hey, I can make a fist when I first wake up now so that’s progress! During the trip, at one point they were sore and swollen enough I could only just get my fingers to touch my palms when I woke up.
So I’m going to take another day or two. Oh, and this Monday there will not be a Being a Better Writer post. Why? Because when setting up the posts in advance, I completely missed that the last Monday I prepped for was Labor Day, a holiday I normally take off. Oops. So next Monday (this coming week) there won’t be a traditional post.
Which isn’t to say that there won’t be a post. No, far from it! Monday instead will see a compilation post of the last few weeks. Why? Because quite frankly a lot of people depend on ads and feeds to keep up with Being a Better Writer each week, and a number of those are manual. So quite a few people were just waiting for the notification to pop up rather than spend the time going to the site itself.
I get it. I’m not ragging on them. So this post will deliver to them all the content they may have been missing for the last four weeks.
After that? Well, I do have a large post coming. See, I took a lot of pictures this time. And video! Of some seriously awesome stuff that happened while I was in Alaska. Seriously, this trip made memories. I’ve never been as close to a killer whale (orca) pod as I came this trip. And when I say close, I mean they were close enough I could have hopped over the side of the boat and landed on one.
That close. And I got video. And pictures.
So yes, there will be a big post coming next week. But not Monday. And … I’m not actually sure when during the week either.
Why? Well, because something else happened while I was in Alaska. Something big. Something awesome.
Welcome back, Maxy. Glad to hear it was an experience.
WELCOME BACK FLOOF!
Look forward to more warbles from ya!
Welcome back.

Thanks! Glad to be back! How's the house-buying been? Sworn to write a story vilifying your bank yet?

It is getting pretty floofy, isn't it? Alas, at some point the mane will have to go ...

It's going well, actually. I'm currently in a contract to buy a place that is not quite finished being built. Basically in wait mode for the background paperwork and the like to be done.
No desire to vilify banks just yet. Given they haven't asked for a drop of my blood on a pentagram, I suspect the home I'm buying isn't worth enough for them to go full demon mode on me. Buuut they could just be waiting for closing.
