+Here I was, super happy with my return to blogging in 2024. I wasn't crazy prolific or anything, but I did manage to post *something* every month except for April. What happened in April? [Kind of a lot.](https://kfitz.info/things-that-happened/) But nothing compared with January. Someday I hope to have the time and space necessary to write about at least part of it, but that day is not today. Today, all I can do is close out January by trying to hold a bit of space toward a better moment. May that better moment come soon, for all of us.
