Coming up for air.

I'm been suffering from a near-fatal case of the blah's.  Haven't been keeping up with almost anything.  Have been reading my flist, and thank you very much for your posts that give me some invigorating brain food, but haven't felt up to posting or commenting.  No reason that I can think of.  Probably a combination of post Julynawrimo's 50k in a month, post-vacation, and losing my beloved Toshiba laptop.  The good news is that I had transferred all my files to the new Sony VAIO before Toshiba crashed, so nothing was lost except a few days lackluster 100 words per day that really won't be missed.  I haven't started a new story in ages, besides Liberty Hall flashes, which do count.  I've made no new subs, although several stories have come back unwanted and should be sent out the door again.  But today I'm feeling a little more energetic I think.  Only problem is I have a meeting this morning to re-do by-laws, which will be mind-numbingly boring.  What I need is a week of free time.  Even though I just had 10 days of it 2 weeks ago.  I guess I got spoiled.  And curses on Spider Solitaire.  Trust me, never--ever---try that game just to see what it's like.  It's horribly addicting.
