not bad here, alive & kicking still.  have been spending a lot of time with real life activities, though i have free time, too.  unfortunately the muse has been beat up pretty bad these past several months.  i have a scene to wrap up here that's pretty important for my character but..  i just can't seem to get it out of my brain.  i feel real crappy about it, too, but it seems like i'm not the only one struggling.  :-\  the real shame is that i feel like that is my saving grace.   :-[<br/><br/>now you can imagine my tipping a magic tube of glitter and sprinkling you all with a goodly dose of love & light.  xo
