“Home is where you go to find solace from the ever-changing chaos, to find love within the confines of a heartless world, and to be reminded that no matter how far you wander, there will always be something waiting when you return.”

Hey there wolfpack, I’m hoooome!
I just wanted to apologize to any of you who might have thought that I’d passed away quietly in my sleep last week. Worry not, I’m still here to pester you bloggers, new and old alike. My life has found its rhythm again, especially in the past month. I’ve found some part-time employment which has helped me a little financially, and I’m slowly beginning to get the hang of University level academics. Those damn citations I tell ya. 😛
In the past week, I’ve had to submit one short story, two essays and write an end of the term test for my psychology class. On top of all of that, I’ve had to write an article for my school paper, watch my daughter and try to make some money. So it’s been stressful, busy, and I haven’t had much time to have fun, but I appreciate all of you who still visit when I make my posts. I’m hoping to get into some more blogging in December! Also, thanks to my blogging friend Lee I will have a Behind the Author interview ready for next Tuesday, it just needs a little editing still. 😀
In other news, I’ve borderline decided that I’ll be switching my Major to Psychology, because I’ve been enjoying that and it opens up other opportunities for me in the future. It’s not a decision that I necessarily need to make before June but I love that University provides me with that sort of educational flexibility. Also, in case you were curious, the job that I’ve worked at last weekend had me assembling hand sanitizer parts at the end of a conveyor belt for 12 hours. It was mindless work, but it was also in a nearly empty building with loud machinery which is conducive to hiding my beautiful voice. So I sang and made the best of it (like a lot!) 😉
Don’t ask why this song ended up being in my head that day…
…But I sang it more times than I care to admit!
My daughter’s also been standing up with more grace and stability in the past few weeks. It won’t be long now before she’s walking and getting into everything. She’s already beginning to have those occasional mood swings too, but as a teething baby, I’d expect nothing less of her. Her hair is getting longer too and her mother’s even able to pull it together now! Check out this doll face. ❤
I was lucky enough to take the two lovely ladies out for lunch a few days ago since Christina’s birthday is coming up, and there I was blessed with a few great photographs, of me and my favourite little lady… 😀

I just wanted to say hey everyone! Please let me know if I’ve missed anything important. Drop me a link to any of your important updates or posts or just let me know what’s new with you! I hope we can all catch up soon and create some more great content together.

Welcome Home, Wolf Boy!!! You’ve been missed! No, you haven’t missed anything from down here south of your border … same ol’ same ol’ … we’re trying to get rid of the corrupt jerk in the White House, but he has hired thugs who are claiming he is ‘above the law’. Not much else going on, for the impeachment is sucking all the air out of the room. Today is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. … supposed to be a day to be thankful for … lots of things. Most people spend it eating themselves into a stupor and then watching football on the telly. We are spending it with our friends/neighbors Maha & Ali, and their three sons. They are Syrian refugees, and it is a double celebration, for just last month they earned their U.S. citizenship! Just as I am ready to renounce mine, they are thankful for theirs. Anyway … I will make the traditional turkey with all the extras, and they will make Arabic foods, and thus we blend our cultures. This has been our tradition for the past 4 years, and it is always a wonderful time, with much love and laughter. Since you guys already had your Thanksgiving last month, I will only with you a happy weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving Jill! That sounds like a great dinner to have with great people. I’m not surprised at all that you dine with Syrian refugees haha! ❤
It seems like an open and shut case as I watch these impeachment hearings on the TV. I really hope the judges aren't corrupt as well, because it seems like they would need to basically revoke the rule of law in order to swing this.
All the best 🙂

Congratulations on surviving your first semester at University! Citations are the bane of the scholar’s existence, but essential. Citation generators make the task a whole lot easier (although some faculty object to them).
The “Ding, Fries Are Done” video would actually be very effective as part of a college marketing campaign. (Do YOU want to be this guy when you’re 40 years old??)

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I have survived! I’m beginning to understand citations better, and I’ve been using a generator online. That helps a lot, definitely.
Hahah… It’s such a stupid video, I actually think my singing was a huge improvement on the song to be honest. And you’re right I don’t want to be scooping them fries in my 40s unless I own the restaurant :p

Well, there’s a good question Mathew. Whether there is a good answer is another matter.
On the 12th December we will have all General Election and Member’s of Parliament will be elected (or re-elected) to their constituency ‘seats’. Who gets the most seats has the first ‘swipe’ at going to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II to ask if they might form a government.
Then the government starts off administrating….
Easy so far uh?
Brexit…….
That depends on who gets in, how many are on one side of the debate and how many are on the other….annnnnddddd…..what the European Union(EU) have to say about the latest agreement the new Government come up with.
So that’s the easy bit……
If the opinion polls are accurate then the current outfit with Johnson as Prime Minster, should in theory have enough MPs to get their Brexit agreement through Parliament to the EU….
Are you ok there?
Depending on…..
