Writer's Time Block & All Hallow's Eve

So that last post I just published was actually something started, as the blogspot time stamp indicates, over a month ago. It's not that I haven't had anything to write about, because I have, it's just that time has not allowed me to be as dedicated to my writing as I tend to be. A lot of things have been changing and going on, all the while I'm still trying to maintain my constants constant. It's funny how something as relaxing and that allows me to vent, writing, has been pushed to the back burner. I'll do better.

I must say everything I have been able to control has been going well. Work is great, my family is doing well, and it's been nice reconnecting with my friends as if I had never left. I guess what's been keeping me the most busy has been making some adjustments to these changes. Three month bug I suppose? Now it's back to normality as I have created it.

I've been lucky in seeing a fellow teacher from Korea in the US when my friend Lexi had a layover in LA for a day on her way to Fiji. Exchanging stories from the land of the morning calm was a lot of fun. I'm also waiting to reconnect with Mel from http://melinsouthkorea.blogspot.com/ again. Having someone who lived in the same town as I did in Korea who now lives permanently in LA again will be interesting.

I'm also planning on traveling, currently working on some of those plans, so I'll keep you posted. Aside from a couple of fender benders this week (no joke), most of my time in the recent present has been really fun. I've celebrated Halloween (my second most favorite holiday of the year) with the students and teachers and my workplace, by spending time with my niece, spending time with friends at a party, and going to Halloween movie night with other friends. They've been good times. Actual Halloween is just a few hours away from now, so we'll see how that goes. Time to get a vibe for the candy consumption in my new neighborhood.

Okay, so I'm off. Have pleasant screams and sweet nightmares. Happy Halloween!
