AND. WE. ARE. BACK.

Hi.

Been a minute. Where the hell have I been these last few weeks?

Nowhere, really, other than totally lost in my head. That looks dramatic, but really.

I forgot how much I hate moving. Disruptive in every sense of the word. Completely kills the vibe. 0/10, would not ever recommend (unless it’s to someplace cool… like, I don’t know, Toledo?)

No idea how I would’ve gotten through it all without Dad’s help. In all sincerity, I told him there’s no greater way I could thank him for the assistance than to never ask him to do this again. We’ll see.

But we got through it. Commuting in a car again is about as fun as I remember, especially in the afternoons when it’s a nice 30 degrees hotter than it’d been in the morning, and everyone’s a little on-edge over traveling an average of 15mph down a 45 for extended periods of time. But the air conditioning’s nice.

And lest I forget, I’m still getting my steps in every day!

That is, through parking the better part of a mile away from the office just so I don’t have to pay the $1.20 an hour to park.

I guess I should be grateful the city didn’t raise that rate in the name of inflation, or whatever.

Anyhow. It’s been a time trying to remember what it’s like to be a person, but we’re getting there! Slowly but surely, we’re getting there.

More to come. Stay tuned.

Derivative? Nah. Just…sorta Basic.
