I know it's been quiet around here lately, but if you've been following the Twitter feed you know there's been some crazy stuff going on in my family the past couple of weeks. In short, there's been no shortage of karmic oh-my-God-I-can't-handle-one-more-thing going around at Chez Sassy, and I'm very much due for a vacation. Let me give you the recap:

• My grandmother died. So incredibly life-changing on a number of levels, but that's for another day with more beer.
• We're down to one car. Insanity (n.): Christmas season with two musicians and one car. OMFG.
• Sick cat in the vet hospital as we leave town for a funeral. Seriously, if it wasn't for the Muse, I would be losing my mind.
• Left my theater job after seven years of growth, challenges, and finally sheer hell. Glad to see the end of it, really.
• Met two of my all-time favorite people in real life for the first time yesterday. Planning on spending a lot more time with Amy and Jeff. Totally blissed out.
• Family time, or the lack thereof-- D's in Maryland, I'm in Alabama for Turkey Day. Alone. To. Face. The. Family. Beer, please.
• The project got a major boost-- we heard our non-profit status was approved today.
• Going back to China twice next year on tour-- yay for more tour diaries, and I may even have some solo goodness on this one.
• Needless to say my nerves are pretty jangled at the moment, and I swear to God that if I have to deal with one more asshole right now I am going to totally lose my shit.
