Where the hell have I been?! I mean, you noticed, right? That I haven’t actually been around?
For one, life has been less than joyful lately. My family is fine–the kids and Jason are good. I’m doing fine, as far as my depression goes. It’s just that sometimes life is not always very pretty. You know about my friend Shannon. (If you don’t, it’s right below this post.) I also have another friend, who is fighting a life-threatening cancer, whose stepson was killed accidentally. Then there’s my BIL and his illness. Sometimes, it just all seems like too much.
I haven’t felt much like blogging. Actually, I haven’t felt much like doing anything with the computer. When I have, it’s been to check Facebook or play a quick game or to report on my weight loss at WeightWatchers.com and Facebook. Mostly, I’ve been reading, working out, vegging, cleaning, doing laundry or sleeping. When I’m not working, I mean.
Speaking of weight loss. Those of you who follow me on Facebook know that I am doing pretty well at the weight loss thing. I’ve decided not to keep updating there because I feel like I am bragging or looking for comments or begging for accolades. I don’t want it to seem like that. I’ve started a weight loss journal for myself. If you want to follow my results there, it’s called She Shrinks and you can just click on that link. I don’t expect you to visit or comment. I don’t have any site stat tracker thingy, so I won’t know if you visit. Or don’t. I’m just doing it for myself and for those who want to follow. I probably won’t post there more than once a week anyway.
I’m going to try to be more faithful about posting here and visiting everyone else. I’ve been so stressed and tired and sad for other people in my life that I have felt like I haven’t had much to offer here on the Internet. I’ll get there again.
I noticed you were not around
Glad you posted and updated us.
BTW? How is your cat?
Ss last blog post..Thieves…

Thanks for updating – I understand what you mean sometimes life gets a tad overwhelming.
Hugs.
I will read your weight loss blog for inspiration…..I really need it right now in the weight-loss realm.
I have gone back and forth about the weight loss blog…I have really raw feelings about my weight loss and it would be good for me to get them out on paper. Then again, I am afraid that I will sound really crazy…who knows?
Robins last blog post..Another Interview….
Good luck.
And you’re not alone in not feeling like writing. Look!
I don’t like winter.
Peepss last blog post..Two stories (with punchlines)
Yeah. Sometimes things happening around one’s life are just a bit too much to deal with all at once. Congratulations on the weight loss. You’re doing great!
BTW: I haven’t been much of a “good blogger” lately either, although I do have a few waiting in line in my drafts. I’m just looking forward to a few weekends in a row at home.
S–The cat is doing great! I cannot believe, nor express my gratitude about how well she is doing. We were so fortunate.
Jessie–Thank you.
FG–I’m sure you do. Especially in light of all that is going on in your life right now. Hugs right back atchya!
Robin–We all sound a little crazy, right? We are a little crazy. LOL
CS–They are. It becomes too much to even feed to the public. No matter how small your “public” is.
I’m relieved to know that you’re alive and reasonably well, Shelli.
As for the overwhelming nature of life, I can relate. Just remember, you don’t owe anyone more than you’re able to give.
Take care of yourself, and know that you’re loved.
SwanShadows last blog post..Valhalla or bust!

Hope life gets easier as far as the stress goes.
