And then stuff happened: the search for a roommate, a visit to a divorce lawyer, incidents with the kids--incidents involving the hospital and the police (SEPARATE INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE HOSPITAL AND THE POLICE that is), forgetting what floor I parked on in a Chicago garage (love that panic button), an echo cardiogram, a lung x-ray, an internet outage, another lung x-ray, a Yo La Tengo concert, a trip to Ikea, an Irish dance performance, a urine test, a 12 semester course load on-line, another urine test script that I haven't gotten done yet, an Avett Brothers show, Transformers II, two many Two-Hearted Ales, and a Google search stumble of dog+raccoon+scrotum.
Whew.
Things are finally getting back to normal. And for me normal is hosting a stranger on my couch. Here's Michael, a member of Couchsurfing.org who is biking the 48 states.
I mean, wouldn't you host him, too?
I've missed you all and will drop by soon. BTW, anyone Bloghering it?

I've missed your blog! Sounds like a crazy month.
When Michael is finished with your couch, please send him my way. I would love to host him and his cute curly hair.
Wow - you've been busy! Let Michael know I have a couch he may stay on in Michigan. And lots of curly hair products - he won't be disappointed, trust me! ;)
Whew! That sounds exhausting. I can't wait to hear details on the crazy events.
It's good to have you back.
As for the dude, I have plenty of couches available down here in Texas.
I wouldn't host him...but that's just me.
I hope everyone is healthy now, at least!
Glad to see you are back and I hope you are okay can't wait to hear about couch surfing guy. You are brave especially in this day and age.
Good to see ya! Hope all those tests and things ended in good health results.
1. Really glad to see you back. I kept wondering where you had gone.
2. Avett Brothers - awesome!
3. The couch surfing guy? Dodgy looking. ;)
Hey hey hey!
I've been thinking of you; its great to see you!
The Couchsurfing things sounds interesting; I wonder if anyone ever passes through here. It'd be fun to be a 'host couch'! I love cooking for people, after all. I'll have to check that out.
Welcome back! You have waaaaaaay too much to blog about now.
Glad you're back and can't wait for more adventures from the new digs in the city.
I was wondering where/how you were. I know I screwed up on mailing again. I'm sort of out there myself these days.
Hope things are okay. I'm not Bloghering it, although I wish I was. Are you?
Hope the various doctor things come out as nothing.
Welcome back!
Sooooo looking forward to meeting you at BlogHer!
Not BlogHering, but Thailanding :) All info on my post. Laughed at the Google search contents .... owww!!
I'd say you've been a bit. uh, busy. Nice hosting job, BTW.
I will be at blogher and I so look forward to meeting you.
See you tomorrow!
Biking the 48 states? In my garage I have a large poster size map of the USA and a route through all 48 states drawn on it. I reasearched a loop that goes through all 48 states in 15 months through most of the best each state has to offer all the while trying to do it in good weather. I even had a spreadsheet that listed every town it went through and based on how many miles I rode I could tell you what day I would be where. I even followed the weather on the route for 3 years to see if my planning worked...and it did. If only I had the 15 months to do it. I'd be interested in hearing more about his bike trip...
I know I've missed you...and have wondered what was up. You summarize it so well. I mean, you actually make it seem like you--unlike the rest of us--may have a real life.
Anything involving hospitals and cops = Real Life.
Like The Wife (Shieldmaiden96), I've missed you too, but wish you hadn't tried to talk her into the couchsurfing thing. (Looking at photo above): I think that's a bad idea. ;)
