So I cheated. I promised I would blog every day this month and I’ve had a few problems.

First, there was the panic attack.

Then this weekend.  Army drill. I got home Sunday night after a full two days of Army stuff and didn’t write a thing. In fact, I don’t even remember hitting the pillow. Haus said that he found me last night face down in bed, still fully clothed.  The posts I published Saturday and Sunday, I wrote today.  Cheater, cheater, I know.

So, here’s what I what I will do. I will be blogging every day for the next ten days, seven days left in the month and three days to make up for my technical issues during the panic attack.  I also won’t cheat again and promise there won’t be any more lists.

Anything in particular you want to hear about?  Let me know and it will be done!
