It's been a long time...

Which just makes me think of that pretty lame Rod Stewart song they use as the opening song for Star Trek: Enterprise. Something about that song just bugs me — yet I can’t help but sing along whenever I hear it. That bothers me even more.

Anyway. It has been a long time since I’ve posted to The World According to Joy. I’m feeling pretty badly about it, too. I’ve had some very busy and kind of rough months, though, so I’m hoping both of you who read this blog (by accident, I'm sure) will forgive me.

To recap since last time:

• Cassandra, my beloved rabbit, passed away
• I'm participating in a local magazine's weight-loss challenge (30 pounds in 2007)
• I adopted two new rabbits (Teyla, an English Lop, and Slim Jim, a Mini-Rex we saved from the meat truck)
• Work — which I usually love — has been crazy-busy since the end of January with no real break in sight until mid-May
• A gas leak was discovered in my basement — and it turns out I've had a slow leak since I bought the house back in June (inhaling natural gas for more than half a year explains a lot, right?)
• I decided I couldn’t afford to continue with the Taekwondo classes but have been going to the YMCA regularly to work out (complimentary membership as part of the weight-loss challenge mentioned above)

I think about covers it. If not, well, I'm sure I'll mention it in upcoming posts because, and I mean it this time, I am going to really make posting a regular thing.

Wish me luck.
