I'm Sort of Back

I'm been out-of-my-mind busy this past month. I still am, but after eleven days of stress I brought on myself, I decided to admit I was wrong in signing up for the Ultimate Blog Challenge with my newest blog. I simply cannot produce a quality post every day on a subject that requires lots of photo editing and meaningful content. I decided quality would be better in the long run than quantity. I stopped writing for the challenge Sunday. I will probably quit posting to that blog more than once a week. I haven't been feeling well, either. I will need time for medical appointments to solve the health issues. Saw my primary care physician yesterday. Probably need to see the knee doctor again and get a shot. I also need a new office chair. Having a bad one may be part of my problem. I can now get a permanent placard. Last night I was seriously tempted to just unplug and go back to a completely non-virtual world. I feel I put too much pressure on myself. I've been reading more books since Sunday. I'm hoping to post to at least three different blogs once each week. That is still pressure, but better than posting once a day to one blog for 31 days straight and ignoring the others. I've missed being here, but by the time I'd done everything else I had to do in a day, I was just too tired to do another thing. What have you, my friends, been up to while I've been away?

@bagarad I have deleted my account at blogjob. I am at :LiteracyBaase and they have already paid me twice. At blogjob I had got about 2000 plus points.

@allknowing I'm still deleting as I have time to move things to other blogs. I will be losing all my points, but points don't really matter anymore and I don't expect the site to survive. That's one reason I'm not investing anymore time and effort into sites I don't own. I have backups of all my blog posts there. I will need to delete a couple more today.

It's so easy to burn ourselves out working online! I have done it over and over and the only solution is to get away from the computer. I sometimes take whole days off during the week and just get back to "real life," by reading, cleaning house, being outside if I can and whatever else comes along.

That's what I intend to do more of. The house badly needs my attention, and I really need to start cooking again.

That's what's nice about myLot. We can be in any frame of mind when we post, and the topic doesn't have to match the theme of our blogs.

I am trying not to get too carried away with MyLot since finding it. It is good to see old friends, but I really have a lot on my plate right now.

You sound as though you are really very busy. I think it is a good idea that you are easing back a bit.

There is no good reason to push myself too hard as I've been doing. I'd like to enjoy life a bit more.
