Long time between posts

So my attention span isn't what it was. I hate to admit it, but I have been slightly depressed in the aspect that things have not turned out the way I was expecting. This Halloween marks another year when I have not moved to California as planned, or gotten completely away from the grind of my job. Granted, it has changed, but I am still at the same company so it doesn't really count!

This is usually my favorite time of year.

I love the Fall, the colors, the changing hue to the late afternoon sunshine and the crispness to the air. The smell of Apples and Cinnamon in mulled cider, acquiring fresh pumpkins to watch Jamie hack into one with a speed that most normal humans would consider unsafe, and creating a Jack o' lantern of epic proportions, and the anticipating of the annual costume party I attend with my cohorts. My excitement has been less than normal, and it grieves me to see October sliding by without my usual exuberance towards it.

I am also pained that I don't see some of my friends like I should, that my job seems to be the winner of most of my time instead of the people I care about.
My writing suffers, as my normal endless well of idea seems to produce nothing but trite redundancy. Instead I find lines of pointless poetry that give examples of desperation I don't normally wish to akin to myself.

In short, I am in a bit of a funk.

A drop of time seems to dangle from my fingers, but I can't seem to bring myself to shake it off. Not just yet. I have so much more that I want to see and do before I let it slip away.
I need to reassess my priorities. Now, to do it.
