Though many of these activities weren’t originally planned for the beginning of March, it seems that everything has managed to converge into this three-week period. It’s like my own version of the perfect storm.
Oh yeah, and:

• Reassure lovely, incredible, patient and understanding boyfriend that a calmer, saner version of Sarah will return soon.
• Remind myself that a calmer, saner version of me will return soon.

If I post only sporadically for the next three weeks, well, now you know why.
