The state of my life

[aadler]

 
Quick list of recent developments:

Good stuff:

1. My son is going to China again
2. My daughter is getting married in four months
3. My current deployment will end soon (back home to family)
4. I’m signed up for this year’s RemixRedux
5. I’m at 15,000 words on my current Buffyfic, and expect to finish it this week

Not-so-good stuff:

1. My wife’s mother is in a nursing home for rehabilitation, and probably will never be able to resume normal living
2. My current deployment will end soon (Army pay stops coming in)
3. While I was out of the country, the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government conspired to limit my freedoms, and exercise over me power I never agreed to grant them

And that’s the way it is.
