I've been quiet

Because:

I'm being absolutely slammed at work, and I arrive home every night exhausted.
Alternity has been keeping me busy at night (seriously, though, hasn't it been terrific lately? Wait until you see the next two weeks!)
Sleep continues to be difficult.
The endless winter is massively depressing (we're having another snowstorm tonight).
The news makes me want to hide in bed with the covers over my head.

The Onion said it best: Jesus, This Week.
