Ideally I would have been blogging about all of these things when they happened. That would have been responsible of me as a blogger. I can only offer three excuses:
1. I was so busy that it didn't feel like I had any time, and was so stressed out that everything I tried to write came out wrong. Not the funny kind of wrong on which I thrive, but the bad-wrong... or badong kind.
2. I got caught in one of them shame spirals in which the longer I waited to post made me more self-conscious about posting, which made me more afraid to post, which made me wait longer to post. People are dumb, and apparently I'm no exception.
3. I am only human. Although I've been blogging since November, and sometimes that feels like a long time, this is still a very new blog, and I am still a very new blogger. I am going to make mistakes. However, I tend to learn from them, and hopefully my future errors will not make us part for nearly an entire month. I don't think I can deal with that again, and I suspect that you couldn't either.
In short, I've been experiencing my very own Time Crisis, which I feel like I have finally started getting a grips on... and even if I haven't, I'm going to keep blogging anyway. We have much to discuss.
So, uh... what have you guys been up to?

I'm glad you're back. Everything will be fine. Quit beating yourself up. Or I'll come kick your ass.
