How'd I end up back here, anyway?

Yeah, I know - up until last night, I hadn't written an entry in here in over four years. Why come back? Clearly writing in here wasn't much of a priority, was it?
Well, I was feeling pretty nostalgic for the days when I was on LiveJournal, where I not only wrote about my life, but I made friends too. It was nice - so nice that I actually almost signed up for a new LiveJournal account last night.
But then I remembered that LJ is run by the Russians, and I had this perfectly serviceable Dreamwidth account with so freakin' much posting history in it, thanks to DW being able to import posts from other journal hosting sites. (Although dang, a lot of the early stuff I wrote makes me cringe so hard. I was so young and stupid.) So, thanks to some nostalgia last night, here I am, rambling about coming back to DW when I really should be doing work.
This is one of the many reasons I'm not terribly thrilled with my extended work-at-home period - there are way too many opportunities to slack off. (That's a ramble for another post, though.)

I too am indefinitely working from home. My kids will be distance learning until December when I will have the option to return them to school, which I have a lot of mixed feelings about.
