Well, the last quarter of the year has been a complete bitch.

Okay, it's time to play catch up. What with NaNoWriMo - which I didn't finish because, well, I'll get to that in a second - the Reboot challenge, hosting my first ever Thanksgiving dinner, working now two jobs, and traveling to Nashville for Christmas, I haven't really had much energy or time to dedicate to my blog. I feel really bad about it, not so much because people pay attention to what I have to say, but because this is kind of like my diary, my way of processing through whatever it is that happens to be whirling around in my head at the moment. It's helpful for me to process things that way.

So last month ...

How can it already be September? The last eight months have been a sort of bizarre blur of happiness, insanity, sadness, frustration, inspiration, and a whole bunch of other emotions that I can't even remember.

Well ... that took longer than expected.

As you may have noticed, I haven't been around the past two months. It's been a little on the nutso side of things; from having mental breakdowns, penny-pinching, losing an internet connection because the apartment basically lied to us, and moving for the third* time in eleven months, I haven't been able to focus as much time as I'd like on here, but hey, all that's behind us. I mean, I'll probably have more emotional revelations that send me into fits of despair, but I'll be on here, ready to share. Which actually, why don't I start with some updates?

A little behind ...

Sorry that I've not posted my reviews yet. I've been battling some type of stomach virus that has me feeling nauseated sporadically. Never fear, though! I'll be back on track tomorrow.

The day after ...

Well, I guess it's back to your regularly scheduled programming? In that, there is none? I don't know. I am exceptionally tired today and kind of have this weird sense that I'm not totally aware of what's going on. There's so much to do - laundering clothes, cleaning the house, drawing, writing, exercising, designing, planning my next challenge*, working ... this list just keeps getting longer and longer.

At least I'm not bored? 

Anyway, Life with Pets went on hiatus during August because of my Battlestar Galactica challenge, but it'll be picking back up this Friday with the much-anticipated (and much delayed - I'm sorry!) guest post by the Husfriend himself, Three. :) If you'd like to do your own Life with Pets one-act play, feel free to send me what you got (email: juniper.trela@gmail.com)! I'm also adding a bunch more artwork and photographs done by me** over the next couple of weeks (this past month has been ridic busy, and I have a ton of photos to share), in addition to starting the new bi-monthly Dear Sister Person Book Club, and continuing the Pull List. 

Blah, I hate how this is just an info post, but you know what? I am dead tired, so I think I'm going to spend today doing nothing but reading comics. Because I'm an adult and can do so.

* In case you were wondering - or if you didn't already click on the Challenges page - my next challenge is going to be in November, in honor of N7 day: the Mass Effect trilogy! 

** I'm actually considering starting a new Tumblr, but ugghhhhhhhhh, TUMBLR.
