Things are slowly returning to normal around here in my neighborhood, and by this I mean:

1. Jim will be returning later today from his gallivanting around the countryside;
2. The Lincoln Center, an alternative school leasing some of our church, has pretty much settled in (though small issues seem to crop up every other day);
3. My health is returning after a bout with the flu (What was up with that? I had a shot for last year’s strain and either it didn’t work or I have been hit with a new strain already). But my progress is slow – two steps forward, one step back – I am left now with some deep chest congestion and a nose that either runs profusely or is clogged completely; and
4. My blog traffic is sliding back to “pre-Irwin” levels. As I have noted before, prior to my post on the state of Steve Irwin’s soul, my blog traffic averaged fewer than 200 page views a day. But after said post my traffic has been crazy, with one day reaching over 1000 page views, as the chart below shows. But things are slowing down, and sooner or later people will quit worrying about Irwin’s salvation (maybe they’ll think a bit about their own for a change), and this blog will return to its relative obscurity.

All in all, it could be worse – a lot worse. So I am happily looking forward to some normalcy, even if that means fewer people are reading my inane rantings here : )
