Or do I?
After some time-- 20 hours on the road, 1 lucky deer, 1 less lucky bird, 4 days recuperating at home, 17 blog posts-- of being MIA (that's "missing in action," not the Sri Lankan rap-tress), I have found the Internet again. It took 25 minutes to pull up the page, but I stuck it out, and here I am.
It looks fantastic (thanks Tom), and I'm so happy to have photos of the attic. I would post photos of my desk options, but my camera is sinking to the level of my internet connection in terms of speed, and even when it finally creaks out an image, I can't connect it to my lovely old PC (did I mention I saw three foxes in my backyard yesterday? Who needs the outside world?). So this is my plan: get DSL ASAP. And wireless too. Move the POS PC to the basement and set up my laptop. Trade in my camera for a new one (birthday on Friday), take some pictures, post them. Maybe write something. Lord knows I haven't been doing any of that writing thing.
What, you may ask, have you been doing? Well, I went to what turned out to be a hardcore hiphop open mic night (did not participate), giggled through Richard III at Shakespeare in the Park, nearly made myself sick riding the Round-Up at the St. Francis of Assisi school picnic, and watched the Indy 500 with the fam in Indiana yesterday.
And now put up this long post to overcompensate. Keep posting! Where is Lovely Liam?

I can feel the ripples of your existence all the way from St. Louis. Love those foxes. I saw a wild turkey (no, not the bottle)on the neighbor's garage roof yesterday. What are the chances?
Your plans sound really good, Katie. If things start to go slowly--remember those micromovements. Set a time (2:37 say) and a little less-than-five minute thing. Give ample pats on the back. A teensy bit of research will start clearing the way more than you think. It's sort of magical.
Hey, don't forget to post your essay, no? Tom aka. Mr Wizard is trying to figure a good doc system for us, but you can cut and paste till then or show us how to connect to the faculty bulletin if it's on-line somewhere (and I'm sure it is).
A single email to Suzanne to ask if there's a link would be a great micromovement. Or simply finding her email address. Or on a really sluggish day--opening the computer. Hurray!
