Hello readers! I’m back!

Unsurprisingly, it’s been a little rough trying to pull my head back into work. It’s … part of grief, as I understand it.

Well, this is certainly a thing that has happened.

So folks, you may be wondering “Hey, what’s this? A post? Yes indeedy. Am I back? Well … no. Sands, I’m typing this on a borrowed laptop, via a hastily-built guest account.
