Everyone in the house is back at work and school today, except me. I worked overtime through the holidays, which wasn’t much fun for anyone, let me tell you. It was a nightmarish project, and I handed it in last night, so now I am free for however long it is before the next assignment comes along. This is traditionally a slower time of year.

I owe the journal a Christmas roundup and Owlet’s twenty-nine-months-old post from yesterday. I’d like to do a 2013 in review post, but at the rate things are going it probably won’t happen. Let’s consider it a pleasant bonus if it does.

[NOTE: Those two posts were published on January 13 and now have been backdated.]
