Returning to Earth

I don't believe in writer's block. I do, however, sometimes take a break from everything except eating, breathing, sleeping, and dealing with my family.

Dealing with my family right now involves a bat mitzvah. Way more stress than is reasonable. Since this lovely milestone is now just two weeks away and most of the details have been taken care of, I'm trying to wrench myself back into some semblance of normal and do things I've been meaning to but didn't have the strength of will to make myself do.
