Hi guys! Long time no see!

Hi guys! (I'm from the west coast, where "guys" refers to everyone.) It's me, Chewagirl-- I signed in with social media so I guess they changed my name. How are you all? I've been away for a while, what with working, writing my dissertation, and only 24 hours in a day, etc. As always, my Hughesnet is performing well within acceptable parameters, no issues. Well, it's too expensive, but I say that about everything, haha! I'm also job searching, as my current job ends July 31. Job searching is truly a soul-sucking experience. Anyway--enough about me. How are you all?? I see a lot of familiar names here and that made me smile. 😀 So what have you been up to?
