Back to the regularly scheduled program

 

 

Stick a fork in me~ I’m done!

 

Well, maybe not exactly done

 

More like “Buried at a reasonably manageable & familiar level, lower than in the past 8 weeks.”

 

You know, ankle high instead of neck deep.

 

At least until October- but I’m not going to think about that right now.

 

So, what have I been up to, since I have obviously not been investing much brain activity around the Garden?

 

Work, mostly~ you know, that J-O-B one is forced to attend, in order to write legally negotiable checks for bills & such. The chi around the office got seriously out of whack- right in the middle of some heavyweight state-mandated reporting deadlines (which naturally fall on me), we lost three employees in as many weeks, one of them from my already minuscule accounting department (& no replacement on the horizon- ugh). Workload has trebled while we try to regroup, so I’ve been putting in late days & several weeks of Saturday work time to get on top of things. This past one was brutal- we were in the midst of triple-digit temperatures when the A/C in my office either couldn’t keep up anymore, or simply gave up; since I needed access to all the programs & files on my computer, I ended up working for 6 hours in +90°, with an ice pack on my neck & frozen water bottles under my feet.

 

It wasn’t a pretty sight by the end of the afternoon- but I’m done with Saturdays for a while.

 

So, why didn’t I come by to write you all in the evenings or on the weekend (what was left of it, that is)?

 

Because I couldn’t face any more time in front of the computer.

 

Because I didn’t seem to have the ability to string together cognitive sentences.

 

Because I was looking at a backlog of home projects that really needed my attention.

 

Because I was feeling lazy & unmotivated.

 

However, I am done with that also.

 

Well, maybe not the backlog of projects- that never ends.

 

Oh, and the lazy part- that’s pretty constant, too.

 

Nevertheless, as I am creeping up on my second Blogversary this week, I feel a renewed need to invest part of my self- my time, my creativity, my personality- in this little cyber-garden of friends.

 

Okay, enough mushy stuff~ read a fortune cookie & I’ll catch you later.

 

 

My Fortune Cookie told me: Tomorrow will be an excellent day for putting Slinkies on an escalator. Get a cookie from Miss Fortune
