First I was busy with full-time work, and then I was busy with staying home (and trying not to work).
Work is more or less what it has been, namely, very interesting
in ways that I feel I can’t really talk about on a public blog, for various reasons. This is part of the reason I haven’t blogged much. If work is my life, and I can’t write about work…
I don’t have any excuse for the past couple of weeks. I have been staying home most of the time, because I’m back to working only 15 hours per week. I have kept myself very busy with knitting and cooking and baking and even a little bit of reading, and you know, I could get used to being a housewife. (Jeff, too, could get used to having dinner ready when he comes home from work/school.)
On Election Day, instead of fretting about the future of my country, I made an expedition to Weaving Works and bought yarn for Christmas presents. I am now about halfway through three of them and have reason to hope that I might finish the current batch and even start another set of presents before Christmas.

Welcome back! It can get hard to blog when the most interesting topics are off-limits...but you do look cozy there knitting! What fun.

It's easy to look cozy when you live with a compulsive lap-cat.
I just realized that I may have slightly given away Christmas-present secrets with that photo. At least you can't really tell what I'm knitting, and I haven't revealed who the recipients are.
