April Showers

I've been ignoring my blog.  And I've been ignoring everyone else's blog, too.  Life has had Real Things happening in it of late.  Since I last wrote,

• The projected flooding happened; I saw a river higher than it's been in 23 years due to an ice jam
• Filia bought a minivan
• We delivered a minivan to a shop for modifications
• I traveled to Dallas, TX
• I returned from Dallas
• We collected a modified minivan from the shop
• We had a blizzard the day after we collected the minivan
• Filia no longer relies on Mater to get to and from work, or anywhere else
• The last counterpane square has been knit
• Test knits arrived, were knit, and got sent off
• Much systems administration work has been merrily completed
• Some systems administration work has been uncooperative
• I've dog-sat 13 times.   
• and lots more

And today, the storm clouds of work and travel have cleared, and the day stretches open before me.  Except it's 9:03 CST on a Monday, which means other people are getting to work.  I fully expect my inbox to start dinging with things to keep me delightfully occupied.
