My dear xmarkers, I have missed you.

I've been insanely busy but I got called back to the fold a few days ago and I thought I would let you all know what I've been up to.

I'm still in college, but I am graduating in December with a BA in Anthropology. I spent my summer working on my honors thesis and helping take care of my great-grandmother who is 99. She is an adventure unto herself, she is mostly mobile but she needs someone there 24-7.

I spent some time struggling with health issues, but that has mostly been resolved now that I was able to get a diagnosis of Celiac disease, which means I can feel better, as long as I don't eat foods with gluten in it. It makes life interesting but the sacrifices are completely worth it. I have been seeing a very handsome geeky boy for over a year now and things are going very well.

I think that is the basics, so enough about me. How are you?
