Long Time Gone (now that song is stuck in my head!)

Well, it has been quite a while. Life feels like a hurricane. There have been crazy moments. Right now, its the calm before the calamity hits again. It has been almost a year since I've posted. What a year! New people, new things, new ideas, lots of news! Plenty of olds and plenty of what happened to ____? Lots of things can go in the blank. Anyways, I don't have time for more, but I would love to continue. Maybe this time, it won't be almost the entire lifespan of a brine shrimp, worker bee, worker ant, or half of the lifespan of a mouse before I post again. You can check those facts, they're pretty accurate! :) Maybe next time it will only be the lifespan of a gastrotrich or a male ant when I post! This post was definitely more scientific and biological than I meant, but hey, that's life! Hahaha, literally for some animals!
