I know, I have been missing (although if you look at my posting pattern for the last 16 years, that is not so very unusual) but do believe, it has been a very much IN ACTION type of missing.
Work has been crazy - I work full-time, and its generally 110% required. This week, three key players in my 7 player side (2 of the 7 being new recruits) were on leave, including my boss who I am 2IC to. Crazy busy doesn't even start to cover it.
I went to visit my parents last weekend. I also took the opportunity to give my sister a flying visit (haven't seen her in what seems like forever). Next weekend I will be down at the Goldie to see a friend and also visit my Mum's sister with her POA so we can go through what she wants done with all of her house stuff should she ever decide to go into care (or have the decision made for her by fate), so may take that opportunity to give my sister outlaw a flying visit (ditto). I have all weekends through to Christmas almost mapped out for me and I don't get a lot at home.
On top of that, we are contemplating what is required to enact a possible house sell/buy/move in the next 6-12 months. So far V and I have written a 4 page list of what may be needed to achieve the first bit, spare time is in contemplating what the second bit might be possible and we haven't even started to think of the headache of the third.
This was set off by a chance phone call, and as we had been discussing it thought "why not have a look at what may be".
The what may be person was going to come and give us an idea of what effort (and indeed, what money) we need to throw towards 3/4 of our list as frankly, our home will likely be sold on position rather than aesthetics of the house this morning - so my "do it before the what may be person comes" list was burning in my hands this morning. Luckily I gave myself a 10 minute cup of tea break to check my emails, as he has asked to move it to tomorrow - I will have to move work hours. My "do it before the what may be person comes" list now seems much more doable.
So now, I am off to check out a few blogs with a more relaxed cup of tea, toast some of the bread I made last night for my breakfast, make pikelets with the whey from the mozzarella I also attempted to make last night (we will find out in 24 hrs how it went. As total cost is time and a junket tablet - all else was in the "use it or throw it away" category - the very frugal part of me made that decision) for my book club later today and relax a little more.
Anyone want to spend a fortune on a home with a great view?

You are up to your eyeballs in important tasks and all on the heels of a long trip. I don't envy you this but salute you! Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog!
Life is always busy when one gets back from a lengthy vacation, but it sounds like you have a lot of extra things to keep you busy, too. When you were posting almost every day at the beginning of your trip, I knew it was too good to expect it to last! 😉 (you know I'm just teasing you)
Depends on the view, it is the ocean? Not that I'm in any position to buy even a tent, but an ocean view could get you a few mor $$ than a regular "great view"
