Greetings, internet. First of all, thank you all for saying such nice things about me and my blog! I got a lot of positive feedback following my recent video post. You guys are great.
I really don't have anything exciting to report today, just wanted to sort of check in and apologize for not being particularly loquacious lately. I think I'm dealing with a touch of the winter blues. Don't worry, I'm not sad, I mostly just sleep a lot. It still gets dark really early and I have a hard time bringing myself to leave the house when it's dark out, even if it's only 6:30. I think it's a carry-over from my old life in Boston, when I would get home at midnight every night and be unable to leave the house again because, well, Boston at midnight.
Another thing that's been contributing to my lack of chattiness is the fact that I've been reading a lot. Like... A lot. I've read 4.5 books in the last two weeks (I'm rereading the Anne of Green Gables series for the first time since my mom read them to me as a little girl). When I'm engrossed in a book (or series), I get sort of wrapped up in that world and have a hard time bringing my brain back to reality.
So, apologies for the rather lackluster postings of late. I promise they'll pick up as soon as winter starts to go away and it starts being lighter for longer. I'm pretty sure I'm solar powered. Like Wall-e.
One final note: I won't be posting much of anything for the next week and a half or so. I have a Very Special Visitor coming Thursday, so I will be otherwise occupied. After VSV leaves, I'm going to Hong Kong for a few days! I promise I'll post more about that than I did about Bali (which, admittedly, was next to nothing). I'll only be in Hong Kong for a few days, so it'll be less overwhelming to write about. Also, I'll be traveling alone so I'll probably have time in the evenings to write while I'm there.
In the meantime, please enjoy this video of a Slow Loris eating a rice ball. Because hey, why not?
