Another Bloggy Dry Spell

By thusspakezuska on February 11, 2008.

It has been difficult to get back into a regular rhythm of blogging after all the time off when I was dealing with stuff for my mom. I think all that took more of a toll on me than I realized. Although mom is doing great in her new place, and seems really happy, I've still felt overwhelmed and stressed (partly because caring for her finances has been no small task.) This all contributes to blogger's block, which I experience every now and then even without provocation.

I have ideas for things I want to blog on, and one post in particular that I urgently need to do for my own conscience's sake. I hope to produce some of those for you this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I thought yesterday would be my day to get going again...and then there was migraine. Today, it's a million doctor appointments. Okay, just three, but it feels like a million. One of which, I'm off to now. See ya later.

The Meaning of Life is That It Ends
To those of you who come here to read my views on science and religion and politics, this post will probably come as something of a shock. But in the process of dealing with a very painful situation, my thoughts have turned inward. That turning inward is fueled also by the fact that next week will…

I missed this when you posted it so it is indeed great to see you back. But please be sure to take good care of yourself and take time off if you need - best wishes to Mom as well.

Thanks Abel! Just spent 5 more days with mom, taking her to doctors and so on...she is doing well, thankfully. Now I have to try to get back in the blogging groove again!
