I've been away for a little while, but like a bad penny, I'm back. LOL.

I've been trying to work through some burnout with my work. As many of you know, my job is as a certified nurse's assistant, and I take care of two people in my own home. As a result, I don't get to go home after work, nor do I get weekends. The only time I can get away from work is if I take off from home and let someone else take care of them. Thankfully, Norma, my wife, is a homecare aid, so she's able to care for them, and two of my kids who live nearby are as well, so I do sometimes get away.

I'm not completely back to where I should be, but I'm able to write again.

It's been a long four months. I had to have two teeth removed because an abscess had formed above one. I've since gotten a partial for them, and it's been a learning curve talking with them as well as eating with them. Right now I want to find whoever thought Elmers Glue was a good taste for denture adhesive and throw things at them!

One good thing is I had my 5 year MRI after my surgery, and the remains of the meningioma squeezing my brain hasn't grown any. YAY!

Anyway... Be looking for the next chapter of Arctic Fox. It should be coming out in about a week.
