I was scarce online because I didn't want to be bitching and crying and panicking all over the place. :) It's been a nasty several months on the job front. Most of my clients went into a tailspin when the US market crashed and credit froze. Things seem to be loosening up again, though -- got an email from one pub offering me three books for their new season, and things looking good with a new company, etc.

And getting those dastardly warmongering Republicans out of office had a cheering effect, too. ;)
