The last couple of weeks have been really tough for me. I don’t know why, or what for, but I’ve been sick and sick and sick. First it was COVID (for the first time that I know of), and then when I recovered (all but my sense of smell which is still missing), I got the worst 3-day migraine I’ve had for a looooong time. One day after recovering from the shock and pain of it all, I got another 3-dayer knock-down-drag-it-out-migraine-shocker… which is not something that has happened for over 2 years (since I was back in my most chronic migraine days).
As a result of all this downtime, I’m way behind in every aspect of my life, including blogging. I usually have a few posts ready to go in advance, so that “normal broadcasting” will continue uninterrupted… but now I have run out of posts, and back up posts, and whilst my motivation is still as high as ever, my energy levels are sitting at rock bottom.
So, I’ve made the tough decision to cut back a little. In everything. Including blogging. One of the main motivators for this blog has been quality rather than quantity, so it makes sense to keep posting, just not as often.
Instead of posting 5 days a week, Monday-through-Friday (which seems like a small miracle of super-human-effort now when I look back on it!), I’m going to do 3 posts a week instead. For me, the posts will go out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, which seems logical. For some of you readers, however, I know this means you’ll get emails on a Sunday night, Tuesday and Thursday night, which is a bit random… sorry.
AND because I am still struggling with the after-effects of the second soul-destroying migraine in a week, I’m going to call it quits for today and come back again in 48 hours.
Know that I’m still here, and still always keen for a chat – even if it might take me a while to reply – I’m still pulling my weight, I just can’t drag as much as I used to, or as much as I’d like – but I’m pulling as much as a I can!
OK then – take care taking care everyone, and let’s cross paths again in a couple of days, and then every couple of days after that!
Hope you’re all doing OK,
Linda xx
PS – the image included at the top of this post is not me… but it is how I’m feeling… at least 100 years old and fading away… although she’s more blingy than I am – yay her!!
