You're wondering what could be so important that I would neglect my online life, and, rightly so. Let me see if I can actually justify the ignoring of the cyber world for as long as I have.
First excuse: It's been a very hot summer here in North Carolina and our air conditioning went kaplooey. The heat makes the energy seep right out of your pores. So, I've been here, in a puddle, on the floor, for the last few months completely unable to reach a keyboard or having the solid form required to use the darn thing if I could reach it.
Second excuse: I'm in the middle of some ridiculously hard college courses that some idiot thought it would be a good idea to take at this stage in my life when my brain is starting to molder and is vigorously resisting learning anything new. Beyond the tremendous headaches caused by the brain fighting with the body, it refuses to direct my fingers to the keyboard of my computer to post anything online as a sort of punishment for making it learn.
Third excuse: I have two teens.
Fourth excuse: I am simply too tired to bother. With working full time, having a full course load in school, making sure my kids get their homework done and keeping my mom out of trouble (I tell you she is harder to keep track of than my kids), I simply don't have the energy to socialize either online or in person. I think I've become a hermit and my house is my hermit cave.
I'll leave you to choose which excuse you wish to propagate around the internet community. I don't care which one gets out though the whole heat, puddle on the floor thing is probably closest to the truth. I can't wait to find out via the grapevine what's going on in my life that keeps me from interacting with my friends.
To all of you that have waited impatiently for a new post from me, I sincerely apologize, well, as sincerely as my rebelling brain will let me. Darn you brain, get over your snit already. As you can see, I am still alive and well, okay, I am still alive. Hello to you all and now back to my cave.
