I haven't blogged in over three months. Yowzers! A lot has happened, including a wacky living situation with a wacky, passive-aggressive housemate. I resolved that situation by findin' an apartment to call my own. Yea! I've progressed in terms of my volunteer work. Took a much-needed hiatus to set my mind right & get things sorted, then resumed activities and found m'self losing track of seconds, minutes, hours and days. A sign of old age? Perhaps. I reviewed the last four years of blog posts near/around my birthday to see what my former selves were thinkin'. I must admit, I was caught in a bubble of nostalgia and found m'self smilin' at promises, resolutions, observances I made during those times. There's a ton to post, but I haven't the time for a proper re-cap. It'll most likely be in installments, or not at all. I haven't been much more creative lately, but I feel as if that's shiftin' a wee bit since movin' into my apartment. In fact, I've a story idea that I plan to put to paper before month's end. Speakin' of, I signed up for NaNoWriMo, but knew before it started that I most likely wouldn't finish; too many irons in the fire, as they say. One bright spot has been a project I've joined with a few other writers. Jacob Sam-La Rose started this solo project, then decided to add a few more time-jugglers to the mix. The result? A handful of folk who have more "side" gigs than time, I reckon. His challenge was for us to blog each day about how we spent our day. It's meant to be both a time management analysis, as well as a check-in (reality check?). Most participants are outside the U.S., so their posts have been tricklin' in during my daytime hours. Pretty interestin' reads so far & I'm amazed at how much everyone crams into a short set of hours. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. I'll add my post to the mix, when I get home later tonight. I've a volunteer gig for a few hours after work & that's after an early start, due to an unplanned dental appt. Whee! I'll probably go to sleep at/around midnight. Not bad for me it seems. My "currently reading" selection is on my "must-have/read" list & I've done neither. Maybe you will. Peace, Moi |
