This blog's name is a lie (but I'll keep it anyway)

This blog's title is no longer true. I'm no longer a home-shackled traveling spinster...

I actually just mean I'm no longer home shackled. I've got an office job now. And get this, I'm an assistant manager. That may not mean much to some, but it's a pretty good thing to be. Mostly because I don't have a boss here in the Philippines. My manager is based in our company's headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia.

And speaking of Charlottesville, Virginia, I'm going there in two weeks! How awesome is that?!

Let's not talk about my US Visa adventures. Suffice it to say that I have a 10-year, multiple entry US Visa now. I'm trying not to wear it out by staring at it every so often. (Teehee.)

So anyway, Charlottesville. It's a college town, home of the University of Virginia Cavaliers and Thomas Jefferson's house, Monticello. I keep forgetting what it's called. I even told my boss I was excited to visit Montecito. She asked me if I had plans of going to California the one weekend I was spending in the US. Oh well.

So what has me visiting my cobwebby blog? Well, now that I'm an editor again, I think I should brush up on my writing. Just so I wouldn't feel like such a fraud when I edit someone else's writing when I hardly do any myself.

This isn't writing for an audience because I doubt I'll ever have one.

I have no tutorials or ill-formed click-bait (I actually just learned that phrase last week) opinions to impart. This is just me spewing forth whatever it is that's bothering me or making me happy. Just those things. This is what I (emphasis on that since it's no one else's opinion but mine) would like to call my "creative" outlet.

Make of that what you will.
