MIA or just lazy?

I have not written in awhile, mainly because I have not been wanting to write an emo post. I'm tired of emo posts. Seriously, I need to be more positive. But it's been hard. So since last writing, here's some stuff that has happened:

~Mom had a very serious heart attack, the day after her birthday. I went home to take care of her and the brothers. It was exhausting-physically and mentally. I don't think I have recovered from the experience.

~I have started the search for a new roommate. Kelly is moving out when our lease is up. I hope we find someone cool who wants to go hiking.

~I bought cute new hiking shoes. I have not had a chance to try them out and it's making me antsy.

~I planted some seeds so that I can have lots of herbs and salad fixings. Of course I can't plant nearly as much as I want since I don't have a real garden anymore but at least it's something.

~I decided the answer to all of my problems is to be a travel writer or an editor at Backpacker Magazine. For now I will probably settle for subscribing to said magazine and making lame attempts at writing about my hiking excursions. But I'm working on it.

~I stayed home alone while John babysat-so he could try to prove to himself that he would not be making a mistake by having kids with me. I do not know if the mission was successful but it was not a failure either.
