Do NOT adjust your screen. There is nothing wrong with your eyesight, either. This is a genuine actual blog post by Yours Truly. So where have I been, you ask? I’ve been Lucky. And Happy. And Healthy. And Honestly, life has been real good.I’ve been right here, thinking that my little ‘ol life just isn’t that interesting right now. There has been Nothing To Write About. Election's over. No angst about that anymore. And since I don’t go to work “out there” any longer (although I have been very busy working right here from home thanks), and I don’t interact with dozens of people every day, I just don’t see much worth talking about. The view out my office window is of our curvy, hilly, nicely covered-in-snow street. It’s pretty. And quiet. And that’s it.
I don’t drive around town much these days, so I don’t see Bouncing Girls Fresh Off the Bus that I just have to write about. Even my family is disgustingly drama-free. D. is wonderful as mostly-always; mom and dad and my siblings are great. We’re all getting older and I worry about my 83- and 81-year-old parents, but they are quite the happy little octegenarian couple and for the most part, very healthy indeed.
See? I told you—my life is not interesting right now. And that’s just fine.
But the thing is, this blog was intended to be a place I can be creative on a regular basis—by writing, which means more to me than anything. Now I write for a living—a limited, sparse living so far, but hey, it’s a start. I write every day. And perhaps that little itch is being adequately scratched.
Or perhaps not. Perhaps I’ve just been lazy. Could it be? Uh, yeah, it so could. Maybe I need to stretch myself. Force myself to be creative. Find things to write about.
Well, let's get going, then.

Bring it on, you've been missed!
We're still here!
Smooches to you both!
What justhay said. And Mary Alice.
Also- I understand exactly what you are saying. I, too, work from home and that only 2 nights a week and rarely leave home except to do things I HAVE to. So- my blog doesn't get much of a workout either. BUT I did post this past week. And I don't have a single comment. So hop on over and leave me a little note, ok. I feel lonesome ;)
I'm so glad you're back!!!!
You don't have to have something super interesting to say in order to blog. See, for example, my blog. It's the writing that's important.
So. Glad. You're. Back.
Sojourner, I'll be right over!
And Cha Cha, thanks for the encouragement. Your topics are always so interesting, and your writing is sublime.
