Long time no see

I started this blog over two years ago and only posted three times. As I have no public blog at the moment, I thought maybe it was time to resurrect one. There are plenty of other things I should be doing, but rather than stay up all night to work on my book project, I am waiting for my Xanax to kick in before I go to bed. I actually took one because my back is full of stress-related knots; hopefully I can relax a bit tonight and wake up rested. I imagine if someone came and gave me a backrub right now, it would be akin to fondling a bag of rocks and marbles. 

The book project I am working on is an edition of 10 books, which will be stiffleaf-bound. I am completely and utterly blocked with the content because a) I got a little overambitious and b) it deals with my relationship with my parents when I was growing up, which was strained at best. I love my parents and think that I have a good relationship with them now. I don't believe that they deliberately mistreated me. Their divorce was a bad situation all around and there wasn't a lot of healing or processing going on. I managed to forget about it until recently. It's amazing how these things come bubbling back up with the right triggers.
