WOW! Is all I can say.

I seem to have found myself in a bit of a FUNK that, until last night I couldn't seem to get out of. You see, my evil twin brother has found a way to lock me in a closet and thrown away the key. He mysteriously found this potion and gave it to me, like he does every year after the winter holidays are over, and just like every year in the past, I drink from it and he then puts my in the closet were I sleep. Gaining enough energy and power to outsmart this brother of mine and we can come to some sort of mutual agreement when it comes to living arrangements. This year, his potion was stronger than in the past, and it took all my skills to defeat him, although his grip is still very strong at the moment. But, I will ultimate triumph and we will tolerate each other for the rest of the year. By the time the winter holidays come around again, I will be at my strongest, and he will rarely be seen.

I think that is why he feels it necessary to use this special elixir, because by the time fall comes around, I am almost at my plateau when it comes to the power I have over him. He is weak, and by now, very complacent. But, I am sure he has already procured his magical potion by the end of July, just waiting for the right moment to, 'share a toast' with me, sealing me to my sleeping coffin for a few months. This is when he wreaks havoc on those that we know and love. It is so exhausting trying to undo the damage he has done while I have been away.

Well, dear reader, I am back, although still somewhat sluggish from this seasons nap. My brother is still lurking in the background. Still holding onto me, not wishing to let his reign over me go to the wayside just yet. I can feel that I am starting to become 'more like myself' and one that others typically enjoy to be around. My brother and I will get this figured out, rest assured!

See you soon,

Love Rebecca
