It's Good to Be Back

I am back from Morocco, and today is the first day I think I've actually felt back. I woke to my alarm this morning. It was a nice change since I had been waking up at 4 a.m. for no reason. Because I'm back and finally with it, I hope to post some photos and stories of my travels this weekend. Please stay tuned.

The Numbers Game

For some perspective of my life since my last post, here are some numbers for you to crunch:
23 - days since my last post
22 - days I have felt guilty about not posting since
236.7 - hours I worked in the month of April
3 - hours I have stayed at work the past two nights "just in case" things came up
0 - number of things that came up
0 - number of people who called to let me know nothing was coming up
20 - years my firm has been in business
800 - dollars I received in the form of a bonus for contributing to my firm's 20-year history
1 - 5Ks I signed up for but did not run
2 - homeless people I saw in my alley drinking beer at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning
4 - number of catnip mice I found under my fridge Sunday night
2 - minutes it took Oscar to bat one back under the fridge
15,968 - dollars of income the government claims I made in 2006 that I did not make
1,500 - taxes I owe on said fake income
untold - hours it will take me to get this all figured out
2 - magazines I have received recently (I think my mail's back!)
1 - number of belly dancing performances where I was front and center
6 - days until I leave for Morocco!
0 - number of posts I will likely pen before then

Sorry I have kept you in the dark for so long. I'll be back some time late May. Take care until then.
