Anyone still there??

Hi.

You may have noticed an absence in blog posts for a while. Yeah, about that....I just haven't been up to it. But I'm working up the energy and will to start posting again. Oddly enough, or maybe not so oddly, I have been working on stuff -- not actually finishing anything, mind you -- but working on stuff. Actually took a weekend away (to the Hamptons, no less, la-di-dah) where a friend and I tackled knitting and I worked on my fat-bottomed bag. Yeah, that one.

But the main reason I wanted to post something was to send out a collective thank you to all my friends and readers who have shown me incredible and humbling support and understanding since the death of my dad last month. It's been rough, but the kind notes have meant more to me than I can ever say. I am touched that so many people have reached out to me with understanding and empathy -- people I've never met, some I've only met once or twice, and of course, dear old friends. All I can say is that what goes around, comes around. And I hope that if and when any of you need to be carried for a while, that you experience the wealth of support that I have done in the past weeks -- and that I can be there for you, too.

I'm going to start posting again, hopefully on a more regular basis. Maybe today, even. Stranger things have happened.

Thanks, everyone.
