Long time no blog
October 29, 2006
A couple of days ago Lloyd gently pointed out that I hadn’t written anything lately.
It’s true. I have been neglecting my writing, among other things. But I am just recovering from a long bout of feeling rotten, so I have forgiven myself and I hope everyone else will, too.
In any crisis I hold together really well. I can go without sleep, race around from one responsibility to another, keeping up with everything I have to do; but then, once the crisis passes, I fall apart.
In the months leading up to my father’s passing I was able to maintain a stiff schedule of spending hours at the hospital, getting started in a new job, and keeping up with the others (daughters, husband, dog) who depend upon me.
After my dad died in July, my system rebelled, and I went through many weeks of daily migraines, severe arthritis pain in my neck, back, and hips, and terrible fatigue. I think it was my body’s way of getting back at me for all the months of little sleep, much stress, and way too much caffeine.
But I’m fine now, and I’m back to playing the piano, knitting, quilting, railing at the political news on TV, and writing.
Especially writing.
