digging out

It's been quite awhile since I blogged anything, for various reasons. One, it snowed a ridiculously uncommon amount here in New Green City this year, which essentially shut down the place for the week before Christmas. I do love snow days. They rearrange my brain into childlike glee. But they also wreak havoc on the pre-Christmas church calendar.

So we have been digging out from the snow, for one, and then from vacation - a week off after Christmas, in the beautiful sun down south. My brain feels like it has been a Snow Day for the last three weeks, which is really hard to recover from on a Tuesday morning.

I do feel as if I'm digging out in other ways as well. Over Christmas, I heard about two new pregnancies, one of which threw me into a fairly significant funk for a few days. We are preparing for a visit with the doctor in a few weeks and will likely begin preparations for in-vitro, and while I am thrilled about that on the one hand, I am terrified on the other, and bewildered that we have actually gotten to this point.

Meanwhile, there are phone and email messages to be returned, a desk surface to find, mail to be read, calendars to be organized, and an Easter liturgy to be chosen. Time to get on with it.
