I found a few words lying on my keyboard
It’s been a long time. Feels even longer.

I had a bit of a slowdown with the hubbub surrounding the birth of a grandchild. So much need of me, so many demands on my time... I discovered that I am terrible at juggling. I have a tendency to hold onto one or two things and drop everything else. I don’t even hold onto the important things, necessarily. Sometimes I carve out huge swaths of time for things that are mildly entertaining and delete activities that are required for continued existence.

Then, I got sick. I stopped juggling even the brightly colored balls. Even the one with the screen that lights up when I open it. I had no interest in social media or even (gasp) writing. I have never done so little for so long.

The good news is that I survived and am recovering nicely. Even better, I had Covid and survived and am recovering nicely. I didn’t want to get Covid but now that it’s done and I’ve been through it, I feel a freedom from the uncertainty. I wasn’t living in fear of the virus, but it’s nice to settle that question for good.

Still, give me some time to settle back in. I have to re-establish a routine and make a plan. Today, I opened my laptop to do more than pay bills. That’s a start.
