taking mediocrity to a whole new level

This blog needs more cowbell! Or maybe just some fresh content.

So life's been...well, it's just been. I've been working part time for my dad (which is where I've worked for the last 20 years), and part time as an intern in a marketing department. I love the internship and I really hope it turns into a full time job. Sooner than later would be nice, but for now I'm just thankful for the opportunity.

It seems like Betty Please has been sick more than she hasn't over the last 6 or so months. She had swine flu in October, which took about 3 weeks to recover from. She had some sort of something in January that turned into asthmatic bronchitis, which took about 3 weeks to get over. Or rather, it seemed like she was better for about two weeks and then she was sick with the same thing all over again. And now, she's sick, AGAIN, with the same damn thing! The poor girl.

So, yeah it's been pretty blah around here lately. As some of you my know, I've been in a funk for some time now. A few months ago, I reached the point where writing took way too much mental energy, more than I had at the time, and I just couldn't. It was a tough a decision, but I gave up my contributing editorship with BlogHer. I miss it quite a bit, but it was such a relief to remove the pressure of those looming deadlines every week. And to be able to take a break from having to stay up to date on LGBT news has been so great for my mental health. It really had become all too consuming.

Aside from this damn time change, which is totally kicking my ass, things are looking up. Softball is starting in a month or so. Our CSA will start again in a few months; I'm so looking forward to having just picked, locally grown, organic fruits, veggies, and herbs. And most exciting on my list, my brother and his family are coming to visit in April. They will be staying us for two weeks. I so can not wait to hang out with my brother. I'm pretty excited to spend time with Gabriel too. I can't believe he will be four in about week.

Anyway...I make no promises, but I'm hoping that blowing the dust off here with this post, will help me find my way back to writing again. Perhaps some topic/post ideas would help me out. If anyone is still checking this thing that is. Maybe next time I'll write about the Sweet Cruise we took.
