Long enough!!

I started my first blog, since returning to Alaska, two Thursday's ago sometime...

Since my attempt two Thursdays ago, and with still no "real" new post I have been traveling in Southeast Alaska for more work.  

The post that I started two weeks ago has pictures and anecdotes, I swear. At the time present, i don't know when I'll get to finish it. Hopefully this weekend sometime. I have a three day weekend coming up for me, since I've worked 12 days straight, after coming back from a 6-week assignment in D.C. 

Because my Mom sounds disappointed/concerned, I've decided to put up this little blurb of mine to let the world know that, yes, I am gratefully alive and as well as can be. Suzy, I got your message, thank you for the phone call! I'll call you this weekend. Jay, thank you for the text message! I owe you a phone call as well. [This list goes on quite in this fashion.]

I NEED some time off from work and feel my temper as being short and not quite myself since my leave for D.C. 

That's a long time for not feeling quite right. I'm hoping my three day weekend will suit me well. It will be good to have some alone time and to spend some quality time with a significant other. And to once again feel settled. 

Until I have time to write about my travels to the East Coast, here are just a couple of pictures of my time in Southeast. Not many, and nothing great. I am hoping that Lori (my friend and reporter whom I was with on the trip) will allow me to publish the pictures she took from our travels. She took a great deal a many pictures that I did not have time to.
