Habitual Responses
It's amazing how quickly one can get out of the habit of doing something. Dave and I left on Monday for McCall, a little town on the shore of Payette Lake, to spend Thanksgiving with my family. Specifically, my parents, my Aunt Sally and cousin Josh, and John, Janene and the most important person of all, my new nephew Kieran.
(This is him with Dave. Oh. My. God. Isn't he a cutie? -- Either he, frankly.)
We had limited web access. I had buttloads of novel to write. (I passed 40K last night, by the way. Yay me!) And once the family got there--Dave and I had the first two days to ourselves--we had not only Thanksgiving, but two birthdays to celebrate, Dad and John, so there was a party every night.
Add those all together and they spell "Sally forgot her blog even existed. Post? What does that mean?" And now I am out of the habit.
It's amazing really, how many habits I am now out of. I am out of the habit of responding right away to student emails. I am out of the habit of posting photos. (I am improving, see above. And below). I am out of the habit of checking my blogroll daily. I am out of the habit of doing pretty much anything but sleeping in, walking through the snow, drinking large amounts of tasty wine and stuffing myself. I am a victim of the holidays. Pity me.
I'm awfully well-rested now, though.
