I assure you, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  Hi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have not yet made my transition to fish-person.  However, it was a close call.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, I can’t wait to tell you about my adventures in Bonaire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I miss waking up with this view in my backyard. \ud83d\ude41<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also can’t wait to bore you with about a million fish pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is from 2015.\u00a0 I have about 303954565 hours of picture and video editing to do for 2017’s trip. I suppose that’s not totally unjust when you stumble across such a <\/em>cool intro maker<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like to talk about the start of my lil bitty training block for 3M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last year, it was “I only have to run 13.1 miles? Sweet.” This year, it’s “I have to run HOW LONG?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I definitely want to share with you the awesome winter solstice bike adventure I had yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also need to sit down and really talk about my goals next year, in sport, life, and as a human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I have been uber mean and selfish and have been spending my computer hours writing my book instead of doing any of that shit.  I’m at about a 204 page 12 point font manuscript, with the first draft of 11 out of 15 chapters penned… err… typed, and plan to start #12 today, though with Christmas festivities starting in just a few hours, I’m not confident I’ll finish until sometime next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I had a whimsical dream of finishing this before the end of the year, I also am pretty stoked at being so far through it when I wrote the first words in JUNE and then didn’t really get rolling until August.  I have a loose map and a plan of how I want to proceed next year, and realistic expectations that it may take more than even 2018 until I’m officially a published author of a my own book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, let me take this moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, a truly Cranky Festivus with an airing of ALL the grievances, hope you had a super Haunnaka if that’s your jam, and I hope you are with all your friends and family, or having a quiet day in your PJs playing video games or binging netflix solo, whatever floats your boat and tweaks your knickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you spot the unintentional ornament? \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel extra #blessed (no sarcasms) this holiday season, consider donating to a charity.  We felt ridiculous after wrapping our presents and gave some money to Child’s Play<\/a> – if you have extra $$ and no idea where to throw it, they work with hospitals worldwide to provide toys and games to kids who are staying there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy merry everything, and I’ll be back next week!<\/p>\n
