Slacker Blogger

By Mike McBride

June 11, 2008

Maybe that’s what I should rename this blog? Obviously, I have been slack in posting anything more than book reviews sent to me by other people in the last couple of weeks.

I realized today when I was reading Marj’s blog, that even if the midst of everything she’s been dealing with, she’s managed to post a couple of updates, so that people don’t worry too much about her, and can keep track of how she’s doing. It occurs to me, that by being silent, I might just be worrying some of you so here’s a quick update.

Everything’s fine!

No, seriously everything is fine. For the better part of last week I had a number of half-complete thoughts I wanted to blog about, but never really seemed to get any of them to turn into complete thoughts, so I didn’t. For the last week or so, things have been so crazy, insanely, hectic at work that by the time I get home, I’ve got time to post some thoughts, but lack the motivation or mental energy to do much more than read other blogs and Twitter, watch TV or do some Wii Fit.

It’s actually taken all my will to sit here and write this much without going off to look at something bright and shiny that doesn’t require me to think.

So, never fear. It’s not that I’m overwhelmed with life’s difficulties that keeps me from blogging, it’s simply a limit to the amount of mental focus I have during a given day, that is being used up at work more than usual! Eventually, things will get a bit less hectic.

At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself. ?
