I know, I haven't written anything here since 2012.  Can you blame me?  I've been through a lot of hell. I did go through some grief counseling and I went back to school to study business, which isn't my forte. I've done a lot of cosplay and I even made my own Dalek dress.  I'm a bit obsessed with Doctor Who.  I put that aside for the time being because believe it or not, I decided to do something with my life.  For the past year, I've been a troop leader for an wonderful organization called American Heritage Girls.  It's a lot like Girl Scouts but it's centered around the church.
