It seems like many of the posts I make on here are along the lines of "I'm still kicking!" I've been away because life happens and sometimes you have to prioritize.

I'm a busy fact-checker and editor, sometimes squeezing in some writing. Though when I do write I've been concentrating on a new blog - the Gross Human Body.

 Last fall we bought a house...which meant we had months before that of paperwork and searching and planning, and then we had paperwork and moving and cleaning, and we still have furniture shopping, repairs, and moving going on! The house needed a lot of love, so we're fixing things as needed as we go along. There's also a pesky squirrel in the attic who decided to have babies but the pest guys said they're mice so they wouldn't handle it, but it really is squirrels because we accidentally caught one of the babies in a mouse trap (it was just stunned and went off on its own back to their nesting area, whew).

 And of course Skyrim...which I have devoted more than 200 hours to and I'm still not through with the main quest....and Mass Effect 3 is due out in 3 weeks...so, yeah...
