Okay so I'm back

Do to an overwhelming public outcry -- well, okay, two people expressing mild dismay -- and coming across the Blogging Without Obligation badge-thing, I've decided that I may post from time to time. Maybe I'll wax philosophical from time to time and then I'll have everybody confused!

ION, I've not officially joined the group, but I'm following along with the 25 Things for Charity blog. I need to accomplish something -- to have something that I can hold in my hand that I have actually done. Also, I need to regain some of the manual dexterity that I lost when I was so sick. I seem to be doing pretty well with the knitting these days, most of the time. Cross-stitching is a bit more of a challenge because it requires using finer muscles. Also I've found that my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I had to get me a magnifier/light thingy to clip onto my frame. It makes things a whole lot better.

The election is just fucking depressing. I've stopped reading the politics mailing list that I've been on for years because there's nothing but constant sniping from both sides and rehashing the same arguments on the same topics for the umpteenth time. Of course, it's likely that my resolve to not discuss politics will last about as long as my resolve to stop blogging.

So here I am. I'll post again when the spirit moves.
