The title should of course be read while singing Back in the Saddle Again by Aerosmith, because it's stuck in my head and I say so.
I am currently sitting in a comfy chair in a hotel just outside Madison, WI, in a room that is entirely too big for one person, but I'm not paying for it, so there.
I'm back to take more classes for Epic Hyperspace, the EMR (electronic medical record) software we use a the hospital I work at. I've spent the last month or so working 10 to 12 hour days as our facility "went live" with the revenue side of Epic. I'm the principal trainer for the scheduling component, and now I will be taking over as the principal trainer for the registration and admission component as well. I came from scheduling so I'm no expert at registration, but hopefully I will be here in a few months. I need to be because I have to start teaching the classes here in about three weeks. Wish me luck!
I have two more trips, one in early November and another the first week of December. It's quite nice out now, but who knows about December.
The hotel I'm in was booked by IT so I've never been here before. I am predisposed to think it is awesome because the room has an awesomely squishy bed and there's a Panera's right next door. I just got mac and cheese, a greek salad, and a pumpkin latte for dinner. Yum. My plane this morning left Columbus at 7:50 am, so the first thing I did when I got here was take a five hour nap. I don't usually nap but I had to; I actually fell asleep on the plane and it is almost impossible for me to sleep sitting up. I've probably done so less than a dozen times in my life (at least the part I can remember, not sure about the toddler years).
Since I've been so busy at work I've had little or no time for dA, sadly. I hope to get a bit caught up in the next three days as I will have my evenings to myself. I'm about 60,000 deviations behind (not an exaggeration) and about 1000 journals. And that's just this site. My stock site is in similar disarray. I have about 700 pictures in my stash over at AreteStock. They've been there since July. No time.
I need to get a contest rolling at DisneyDreamers, get the features done at disney-parkhoppers, and start planning this years Disney Secret Santas.
In silly online news I made a second Pottermore account (because I could) but this time I answered the sorting questions as if I were my exact opposite. It was actually pretty hard to decide what I was least likely to pick, but I tried my best. The hat put me in Gryffindor. I don't know if I'll keep the anti-me account. I'd never use it to cheat; I just wanted to see where my doppelganger would end up. I thought for sure it would be Hufflepuff, but not so.
I suppose I could ramble on and on, especially about my Buckeyes being undefeated and not eligible for the championship (sadness), but this is already pretty long.
Tell me what you've been up to. Looking forward to Halloween or anything else? I'm going up to my parents' for Halloween, yay for a five day weekend!
P.S. Oh Em Gee I forgot to mention how the power company came and cleared us a brand new back yard!
My aunt had wanted to clear a path down to the edge of the property, which she says was clear when they bought the house 24 years ago, but which had reforested itself. Now it's clear and in the spring we can make a nice little yard/garden down there. It's gonna be awesome.
I never like to cut down trees, but we will use the wood for our fireplace, so it won't go to waste.

What is a Secret Santa?
The modern tradition of Secret Santas is a gift exchange, where the person receiving the gift doesn't know who the giver is going to be and the giver gets to have fun going all out for the recipient. For the group, this is a secular project - all are welcome to participate in the gift exchange.
How will it work?
At the bottom of the journal you will find a questionnaire. Please copy the questions a
Still Around
I'm still lurking. Got lots of pictures to go through, a new puppy (help me!!!) and lots of work to keep me busy.
Back in January siriuslylostwerewolf (https://www.deviantart.com/siriuslylostwerewolf) tagged me and I just saw it today. I'm slightly behind. Just a little bit.
Anyhoo, tell me what you've been up to. :D
Taggage:
1) Do you have special eyes?
Nope, boring run of the mill brown eyes, severely near sighted.
2) If you could be reincarnated as anything, what would it be?
Like not a human? Then, um, housecat? Life would be pretty sweet, except for the whole grooming part.
3) Favorite historical figure?
Way too many to narrow down to only one! Um, um, um, Plato. His crow
So how has everyone been?
Yeah...
So I disappeared for a while.
Been lurking for a while, too.
Lots to say, don't wanna... too lazy.
So how have you been?
Here's some stuff I liked recently:

Someday I hope I have a job that sends me on trips places. Sounds like fun being out in a hotel room and stuff. Man I miss traveling (I've only been home for a month and a half and I"m already going crazy).
