I’m semi-finished with my long break from blogging. To recap, I took time off to spend with my 12 year old, and have her tested due to behavior issues. However, I discovered that for girls it’s a lot more difficult to get a diagnosis. Therefore, ultimately, we got nowhere with that; at least where we live.

Nevertheless, I got a lot of work done on my house. Also, Itty was finally spayed, which I’ll write a post on. Moreover, I could probably write a comic based off of Itty’s eating behaviors since being spayed, titled, “My 600 lb cat life.” Though, seriously, it’s no joking matter. I have to monitor her every eating moment. And that’s a lot of work, especially when she gets me up every 2 or 3 hours while I’m supposed to be sleeping, all for food.

In addition, I had carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand a couple days before Christmas. For those of you unfamiliar with what that is, it’s surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. I’ve had issues with that on and off since being a dental assistant for over 2 decades. Although, it was so bad my hand would sort of spasm and lock up. I suspect all the work I did on our house, with the sanders and painting, contributed toward my hand and wrist issues.

Even though I took a break to spend time with my daughter, having her tested, and getting nowhere, I’m still returning to blogging. Though, you’ll notice I may not blog as much as before. Furthermore, I downgraded my account, which affected the look of my site, among other things. So I have some messes on my site to clean up, which I’ve already been attending to; others I’ll need WP to help me with. As such, I beg your pardon while I deal with the issues. I hope everyone had great and safe holidays. And I look forward to blogging again!
