something new

this isn't exactly how i envisioned my home office area: a slightly larger than average side table functioning as a desk, the backside of my PC tower as close to the window as possible and a directors chair as my place to sit. but, still i find it very nice and satisfying. if i feel comfortable, indeed, motivated to blog, then i think this little set up will work out quite nicely.

its been awhile, i know. and i'm thinking, most likely, there will not be any readers for this post. chris long ago gave up checking this blog at work when bored, and andrew, although he insists he checks it everyday, probably doesn't.

okay, he probably does. i could hear him protesting in my mind.

i've often wondered why i had given up posting for so long. i still compose thoughts into blogs in my mind, little things here and there that i find interesting. in a way, i think i lost my muse when i moved. the house, the cats (together anyway), the birds, the town. all those things made up most of my posts over the last 2 years. i just don't see that same character here. plus, i'm realizing now as i sit in my quiet apartment, being alone helps. bear doesn't count as company, in this instance.

then i suppose, i am busier here. family to see and be with, helping my parents with things, just over all, more involved. in m-town, i was content not to be seen by others much, happy to be at home, cooking, baking, working in the yard...

today, however, there is a change in the air. it is not the same place, to be sure. but i can hear the birds, even if i cant see them. i can sit here with a cup of coffee and enjoy the breeze, not on the porch, but with all the windows open in my new apartment. and now, i have something to write about again.

i'm getting married, and to an englishman, to boot!
