Comic Plans

Just a heads-up. I’m still getting back into the swing of things comic-wise, and the holidays snuck up on me. As a result, one shouldn’t expect a holiday-based storyline to magically appear. For one thing, with my update schedule Christmas would end sometime around Valentine’s Day.

Instead, we’ll waffle between some Idiocy and some GOMH one-offs for a while. (If you like GOMH, start praying that I stop seeing such stupid headlines for a few days. IOI strips are just too easy to make.)

Further Introduction to Peggy Shippen

Don’t forget to check out The Adventures of Brigadier General John Stark if you like history and such, especially as delivered by statues. Peggy’s great-great-great-great-etc.-yeah-whatever-grandmother’s mentioned quite a bit. Nathaniel Hawthorne, not so much.

typo fixed. thanks, nighthawk.

Solitude

I tried about a half dozen times tonight to write a post expressing how incredibly weird it is to be home alone overnight. (Nighthawk is at a sleep study. It’s a good thing.) Tonight marks the first night in almost five and a half years that we weren’t in the same building overnight. (There have been nights that one of us was out late, or busy, and didn’t come to bed until almost morning, but never a night that I didn’t go to sleep knowing that he’d be here when I awoke.)

The dog’s been driving me bonkers. She finally stopped looking for him and whining around eleven thirty.

I talked to my cousin on the phone for quite a while. That and the completion of my first game of Civilization IV (I won the space race! whoo!) kept me busy enough not to go absolutely stir-crazy, but still…

Sometimes you take a person for granted when they’re there with you every day. I try to tell him how much I love him every day, and still on days like today I surprise myself by realizing how much he’s a part of my life. I can’t wait for him to come home.
