IS IT TIME FOR A WINTER BREAK? FOR FLORIDIANS, THAT MEANS GOLFING, NOT SNOWBOARDING

If you have noticed, I haven't been writing very much. Part of it is that my paid website was getting spammed to death and I have yet to clear up the problem. I love having a .com of my own, but if I can't get it fixed, I'll stay here where I started and really feel at home.

Anyhoo, the subject.  The weather is actually starting to cool down and that means time to spent outdoors.

During the summer, when I did a lot of my blogging, I was okay to stay inside and not melt. I was filled with ideas and happy to share them.

I wasn't slowing down, but I did get sidetracked along with the rest of the country, perhaps the world.

Our election. I admit. I got sucked in. I didn't want to but it was impossible to avoid. And like many others, it bordered obsession. I couldn't think of anything else to write about. How could I? Not when our country is divided and falling apart.  So, I stopped writing.

In doing so, I found out how much time I had been spending here, at the computer. On and off, day and night. I didn't mind. I still don't, not really.




It's just that it became like a full time job. The other site was able to take comments. That was the only reason I  started there. I can't get comments here, and I wanted feedback.  And oh boy, did I get it.

I tried to respond to each email. I began to notice a pattern. At some point, they were complimenting me so I would respond which may have endorsed their product or site. I was getting 2 to 300 comments on old posts. I'd answer and delete and somehow, they were there again. It felt like Groundhog day, the movie.

So, I did what any other chill woman would. I gave up after complaining in an email.

I have my file folder out and will be calling them any day. And, the check is in the mail.

So. I don't think I will be writing on the regular basis that I was. I'm not stopping, just deciding that I need to do some of the other things I enjoy, especially ones that can only be done when it's less than 83 degrees.



Because of my own abandonment issues, I decided to announce is so you wouldn't worry. I am so considerate I make myself cry. (LOL).

I would say, see you in the fall if I were still up north. It's more like "see you on a cold and rainy day" or when I actually can think of a topic that is interesting and NOT political. That's it. I better stop. Which is something I hope I learn on my sabbatical.

Thanks as always for reading.
