A Post to Relieve Blog Neglect Guilt

This post is long overdue. I still have nothing well-developed to share, but the point of my blogging is to get in the habit of writing and not worry about it.

The maternity leave I covered for is done, and my workload went way down about 2 weeks ago. I am completely ready to embrace sleeping in again. I do have a little work here and there but I don't know if that will continue. So I have been getting back into some things I'd neglected around the house. How do people work full time and do ANYTHING else?

I've been sorting my sewing paraphernalia and starting to get things organized in my nearly-finished sewing room. I have been enjoying ironing all my fabric. Bet that's the first time I ever put those words together. The fun part has really been finding fabric I forgot I had and falling in love with it all over again.

I've been trying to eat right, but not right enough, often enough. My exercise habits have been sporadic. Most of my walks have been golf-related, which means only about once a week. And the golf hasn't been stellar either.

I fought a good fight trying to keep the robins from nesting under the deck most of the summer, but in the last week or two I developed a false sense of security and the little buggers beat me. Two nests. Eggs already, so I can't move them. Yeah, I know, the beauty of nature; the circle of life. That's fine unless you're trying to enjoy your deck and the robins are squawking and diving at you because you're too close to the babies. Are there no trees?

Always a model of procrastination, I had my annual checkup today, three years after the last one. I am looking forward to my blood test results. I've had a lot of friends tell me stories lately of how they found out they were deficient in this or that, started treatment, and now they feel GRRREAT. Hooray, saved from middle age by chemistry!

I suppose if I would write more often than every 3 months this would be more cohesive, but not necessarily. I'll give it a shot anyway. Soon.
