I'm here again in my old house, again living in it like a ghost, ready to disappear when the realtor comes by with new prospects. This winter break I really needed from the joys of day-to-day parenting. The kids's mom flew up with them from Georgia to take them to school for a week. I was hoping for some sunshine here and did get a few hours of sun on me but mostly it's been freezing and rainy. I flew to Vegas for two days and it was even colder there. Still, this break is good for me, letting me recharge myself and write some articles that I'd love to place to come out in time for the book. I'm in limbo now, happily so, before school and the book start up at the end of the month.
