I have had a heck of a time finding the time to write. We have been short handed at work, so all of us are working extra hours. We have the farm almost where we want it, but that means extra work ( Read more... )

I have been without a computer for almost 2 months. I had a junky little computer to allow me to check email but I could barely do that on the thing and it would not even load lj. SO now I have a ton of catching up to do.
