Dear Blogisphere:

I've been a bad, bad blogger. Beyond bad...my poor precious blog has been almost dead. There's many reasons for this but I can narrow it down to just two and keep it simple:

REASON #1 why I can't express myself to impartial readers and get my emotions out instead of continually repressing them:

I work oh about 60 hours a week. This is no joke. Up until this week, we were required to work 6 days a week. They've got something there though, with the whole slave labor idea. Now that I get two days off a week it feels like a friggin' vacation.

Reason #2 why I don't write here as much as I once did:

I have a very old man and a very young girl who are computer addicts. The old man (meaning my father who came to live with me last fall) is the worst. He's on it from the moment he wakes up until I come home from my ten/twelve hour day. At that point he generally feels some twinge of remorse for having spent the entire day chatting with "sexy" avatars rather than cleaning the house or hunting for a job. And any time I want to get on here? They are BOTH standing there, right behind me, watching everything I do. Seriously. The only reason I can write this now is because it's 6 in the morning. How can I post my feelings to my semi-secret blog with the people I want to post about reading over my shoulder??


This is no excuse. Well, it is, but it shouldn't deter me. No more! I declare an un-hiatus!

I have only a few brief moments every day that I can spend, in privacy, and I will utilize those to blog (even though I hate that word). This is my resolution, although I promised not to have resolutions this year. Okay, so I'm breaking my non-resolution alreayd (sad, huh) but I promise to post at least once a week. You can look for that. If you even know I am here still. I feel like I'm posting the text equivilant of when someone jumps up and down, waving their hands around while they scream 'is anyone out there? can you hear me?'.

What sparked all of this? I received notice that one of my posts was going to be featured on BlogNash.



I had nearly forgotten that I was contacted about it being used. You can go here to read it.

And there will be more to come, I promise. But for right now - I gotta rush off to work, another ten hour day, and all of the tiny frustrations and decision making skills that it usually brings with it.
