Here and not here, back but not back.

I’m on Jay’s computer, for just long enough to look around the blogs a bit and write this.  Sadie’s napping so I’m indulging in a bit of online speedreading.  Makes a nice break from trying to find places to put all of our various belongings.

Nothing much new here, really, from where I sit.  The pregnancy is going swimmingly so far, with baby pronounced “fabulous,” my bp so normal that she took it twice because she didn’t believe it, and a weight gain so far of nothing.  My energy level is back up a bit just in time to put the new place together, and with my computer still without a home it’s been really easy to stay offline even with the DSL back.

And you know what?  It’ll probably stay that way.

I’ll set the computer back up, sure.  But I have no intention of going back to blogging more than very occasionally, if at all, once that happens.

I discovered something really wild and strange in this period of disconnection: I like my offline life.  Better than my online life.  And I have a sneaking suspicion that my sudden and glorious blood pressure control owes more than a little to playing with Sadie instead of reading yet another bloggy argument based on [insert insane premise of your choice].  An hour of browsing, I’ve found, makes me pissy and mean all day.  It reminds me, actually, of the way I felt when I’d worked retail too long.

Blogging has been very, very good to me.  I just don’t want to do it anymore.  So I’m not going to. 

If I change my mind, you’ll be the first to know.

1. The blogs are there for your amusement you just need to enjoy them for what they are.
   Every morning I read the Fresno Bee to find out what Bush did wrong.  Its high comedy.
   Things have really gone to hell today according to the Bee on every page, caused by evil republicans.
   Maybe these people are funnier to me because I
   remember them from the 60’s, when some people
   thought they were relevant.
   But the grown ups are continuing to take charge
   and life just keeps getting better.

2. I’m glad you blogged long enough for me to meet you. And Jay too, obviously

4. I read this last night and was too sad to comment. 

   I know exactly how you feel, though.  I don’t think I’ll be continuing much after my lil’ Sprite is born.  I just don’t see it.  I spend long enough hours attached to this computer - and I just don’t want to waste any baby time.  This will likely be my last child (I didn’t expect him in the first place!) and I don’t wanna miss a thing.  ;o)

   And I quite obviously second what Ith said.

   Love,

5. I’ve backed way off, too.
   I don’t think I’ll ever actually quit.  My 4 readers need me, of course.
