It's been approximately 800 years since my last post in this LJ. I'm not even sure when it was. Sometime during my unemployment? I'm not sure. I was going to "regular blog" today but this seems just a little too self-indulgent to post to the world-- especially with my hundreds of public declarations of health and nutrition.
