I haven't been a very good hostess here recently, and I do apologize.
I managed to lose myself over the last few days. One of those situations where I put me in a 'safe place' and couldn't remember where it was, but I've managed to find me again now*, which is nice.
And what with the 'puter dying, the stress of getting the new hard-drive set up**, and the usual day-to-day trials and tribulations of life, I just haven't been on the ball enough to be chatty and so, let alone write anything passing as amusing or entertaining.
Sorry.
But, the 'puter seems to be running fine now, so as long as my brain decides to work as well, normal service should be resumed as soon as possible.

**Thanks again, Nigle!
