I used to keep the decorations up way into January, mostly because I was too lazy to take them down, but now, after a month of their being up, I find I lose the thrill and see only clutter. Oh, well . . .

Only 5 more days of January!!

working on it.

I’m sorry about your dog. I hope he gets well soon. Take care of both of you.

I like my way better. Just get it done!

Thank you! Okay, I won’t apologize. It does feel good to be back here blogging every day, even if I do feel as if I could be alienating people, but still, I don’t have that many constant readers like you anymore after my long hiatus, and, as you pointed out, it’s more for me, a repository of my thoughts. And I suppose talking about Wheel of Time is a lot less distancing than talking about the “issues” of the day.

I don’t have an interest in WHEEL OF TIME, haven’t read it, so can’t provide any legitimate comments on the topic. That doesn’t mean you should tailor yours to suit me, or apologize for them. I’m not obliged to read topics that don’t interest me (although I still read yours because I like to see what you have to say, even if I don’t have a response).

I can understand that it’s disappointing not to find someone, or a group, that will engage in meaningful discussion with you, but I think there can be benefit, satisfaction, in just expressing your opinions here. It that vein your blog serves like a diary for you…a repository for your thoughts…and that’s a valid purpose. 🙂
