blogging absence

I know. It’s been a long time since I posted anything.

I would like to post something more often, but my new job isn’t very forgiving when it comes to time to myself. I started this job 9 months ago, and it has been a roller-coaster ride of emotions for me. I’ve never spent so much time commuting to and from a job before (most days it’s 2 to 2 ½ hours a day). Add that to the 9 to 10 hours that I work on average, and I’m not home for 12 hours a day. This is putting a strain on me and my relationship with my husband. So, the little time that I do get at home… well, little of that is spent on the computer blogging. I just don’t have the time, or energy anymore.
However, I’m getting paid more money than I have ever got paid before. I’m eligible for a big fat pension in as little as 8 years (although I likely won’t be able to afford to retire then… and will likely go for another 5 or more years after that). I have a savings account at work that just keeps accumulating and getting bigger. And on top of my outrageous wages, I also get yearly bonuses. So financially, I am doing better than I ever have. But, the offset to that is the time away from home.
Anyways… I was reviewing a few posts from back in 2009 recently. I was surprised at how much I used to post. Almost one post every day. I would like to start doing that again. So, I am going to try. I’m going to take that 2 ½ hours I commute on a daily basis, and write my blogs then. At least in my brain. So, that when I get home, it’s just a matter of being on the computer for a few minutes. I think I can do a few minutes. I hope I can.
In the meantime, I have a bunch of catch-up blogging to do, so I’m certainly not short on ideas right now.
Stay tuned.
