Well, I knew February was going to be a bitch, but I thought that meant I was going to be reallyreallybusy at conferences and things, giving papers on panels and that guff. Lots of time spent going through security in airports without decent coffee. I got the last bit right.
Then my stepfather died, after a long illness. Then my mother, who was perfectly healthy 2.5 weeks ago, was diagnosed with rapid-onset leukemia & is currently taking a crash course in chemistry. And P, with truly brilliant timing, is off in Angola or some place that he swears is not a war zone.
Some months are better than others.
I see that I have much to catch up on.
