Back again.

So it's been over a month since my last blog. I suppose my motivation for coming back today was based on two things. One, Colin and I had a discussion about my blog last night and I remembered that I wanted to keep this going. Two, I read an article in the SFgate about corporate blogging policies and it spurred me to update my blog. (Yes, I'm writing at work but not always about work!)

The past month has brought many changes in my life. For one, Colin is here living with me until August. It's been hard at times but wonderful to be with him again. The simple things, like enjoying a meal with him, walking to the Limmat and swimming in the river, going out to funny Swiss parties, traveling to Ticino for the weekend, or sleeping in the same bed, have been great. Some of the difficult things are trivial but not always easy to deal with. For example, adjusting to living with someone and sharing a small space with Colin has proven challenging at times. It has gotten a lot better because I have learned some patience and also realize that I'm a control freak.

I wish I had more strict rules with myself about this blog. I feel the tone of the blog set in the beginning is effecting my current posts. However, I'm not always sure what to include or exclude because some days I want to change the nature of this post to more of a personal diary, while other days I want to record events as I see them, not necessarily describing my emotional reactions.

Why does "blog" come up in the spell check? Countless people must ask the same question. I'm sure the creators of blogger.com are aware of the irony of it, but it's not that funny because the joke is pretty simple.
