taking a break

back to my fall/winter coffee habit

How is it the end of November already???

 If it isn't already obvious, I've really neglected this poor li'l old blog for a while now.

Between work, school, and 2 small side jobs, something's gotta give. And unfortunately, it was the blog. My somewhat frequent posting this past summer has now become a once weekly or bimonthly post. I do miss writing here, but I can only do what I can do.

And that's ok. 

I'm running around like a headless chicken again, in preparation for a big trip. So I'm making sure I have all my ducks in a row, trying to get as much work done as I can.

I counted, and I'll be going through 12 airports in 30 days.  AND around the world in 30 days (not making stops everywhere, but that's our flight path as we head to both our home countries and head back). Whew!

But nothing to complain about. I'm incredibly thankful for the things that keep my life full, and also thankful that given enough sleep, yoga, chocolate, and sunshine (at least the little bit we get this far above the Mason-Dixon line, this time of year), I am able to do them.

Meanwhile, blogging is on the back burner. But maybe I'll post pictures from my trip when the time comes...

Until then, I'll be dreaming of this to keep me going as I check things off my task list...

Very soon, this tropical-blooded gal will be right at home.
