July 20, 2010. That was the date of the previous posting on this blog. Over 18 months ago. (*does some math*) 562 days ago.
So.
What to write about?
Well, there is plenty to write about. Trying to summarize a year and a half in one blog post is... overwhelming. So I'm not going to try. I'll just get us caught up to the present.
I spent quite a bit of time becoming addicted to Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO), which moved to a "free to play" business model in September 2010. (That might explain the lack of posting.) It's a fun game, but December 2011 saw the arrival of the 800 pound gorilla, also known as Star Wars: The Old Republic. That seems to have tempted away quite a few of the members of our kinship, so I've been playing less LOTRO in the last month or so.
Dawn has been sick. How's that for summarizing 18 months of a person's life? Okay, she wasn't sick the entire time. Still, she's been sick quite a bit. It turns out she's allergic to mold. Which seems to be everywhere. Inside our hourse, for one. And pretty much everywhere outside, for another. She spent much of last winter coming down with a cold which became a sinus infection which became bronchitis which became pneumonia. And she had an enlarged thyroid, which initially they said wasn't a problem, then later said should be removed. Which they did 2 weeks ago. And now she has no energy, because apparently her remaining thyroid didn't get the memo that it was going to need to do double duty.
Orlando is now in first grade. Somehow I managed to go through his entire kindergarten year without posting a single thing. Maybe that also partly explains the lack of posting. I'll try to do better. And there will be pictures. And videos. And amusing anecdotes. And stuff.
P.S. Just before posting this, I discovered that I had a draft post, written on December 31, 2010, still waiting to be finished and published. Well, no way that I'm going to finish it at this point, but I decided to publish it anyway. Oh well.
