Hello, again.

Long time, no see, eh? Here’s why.

These past few months have not been the easiest for me. First, there was the ennui brought on by unemployment, then the special kind of ennui brought on by a job I hated, then… my grandpa died. Then I went back to work at the job I hated and had to muddle through things, through hours substantially less than promised and a feeble bank account.

My writing was a casualty in this. For that, I apologise. This won’t go on.

I was presented with the means of leaving that detestable job and I took it. I still feel sad about my grandpa (and who wouldn’t? The man was awesome and I loved him to pieces), but now I’m in a place where I know that he’d want me to make the best of things, rather than be sad forever. I might be in Korea two months from now; I might not. But I’ll be in a different place mentally and probably physically as well.

Finally, I want to thank those who have stuck by me through all this – through all the past year – even though I was difficult (to put it mildly), even though it would be easier and justifiable for them to walk away. I promise that your faith in me won’t go unrewarded.

I love you all and all the words I write in this coming year are for you.
