The Here and Now

I deeply appoligise from the bottom of my heart about how disturbingly slow I have been in the writing and posting.

There has been much in the way of excitement in the far north.
A friend from long, long ago came to visit me. She has been here for a week and has seen all the sites that the arctic has to offer.
You know:
Gravel roads.
The AC grocery store.
The frozen expanse we dare to call an “ocean.”

But having a guest was not my only source of distraction. I also had to contend with something far more dangerous.

The last week of school.

The fun of grading last minute homework, turning in said grades, cleaning my classroom, and saying goodbye to the little hellions.

Then there was the atrocity known as my apartment. It had to be cleaned and scrubbed and totally packed. There were many trips to the PO.

Basically what I am saying is that I just moved out.
Again.

I am homeless.
Again.

I am currently in the air. (Both litteraly and figuratively)
Again.

And traveling to Anchorage for a few days of fun and pavement before I head out for the shopping portion of my next traveling leg.
Yes, that sentence made little grammatical sense.
No, I do not care.
Go with it, it’s been a long day.

Anchorage.
A place with driving and trees and people.
I am back to the “real world.”
