Strange…
I have this sense of deja vu. 😄
Feels like we’ve done this before…
Where to start, where to start…
Well, I guess we can start with how the hell y’all doin’? 😄
I hope everyone has been well while I’ve been coasting along under the radar.
I have been checking in from time to time, trying to keep up with everyone’s latest as much as I can. Just have not had much to say. I guess I’m in my “creator to consumer” phase or something. 🤷♂️
Yep…Still got nothin’.
I will start by saying thank you again to all who reached out and expressed concern. It is deeply moving and most appreciated. 🙏
I got knocked on my ass a bit a few weeks ago with a virus or some such which was part of the reason I was absent. Took me out of work for damn near a week.
I’ve also been mulling over my future a bit and finally came to a conclusion yesterday. Some wheels are in motion, because quite frankly, what’s going on now just ain’t cuttin’ it for me.
Creatively, I have done absolute zero. I think I fell out of love with the whole endeavor for a spell. I’ve also had things that, if I am being totally honest, I have placed a higher priority on.
Sometimes ya just gotta take care of business.
That’s not to say things are bad. Overall, things are going ok, but I felt the need to step away and focus on other things that I’ve gotten away from slightly.
Put it this way – If I only have time to write/create or workout, I have to go with the workout. If for nothing else, my sanity. Unfortunately, in life, we sometimes have to choose one thing over another. Working 12 – 14 hours doesn’t leave a lot of time for that whole “living” thing.
A soft, chunky Emperor? Perish the thought! I’m not a Tollhouse cookie, after all.
Now, I could probably rant, rave, piss and moan all day about not enough hours in the day, etc., etc., but I’m trying not to spend too much time in bitch mode if I can help it. It just kills my whole vibe.
So, on that note, I will wrap up this post with some very good news.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting up and spending time with one fantastic lady.
Yes, ladies and gents, I received a visit from our very own, most lovely, Miss Laura. 😊
Finally. 😉
We had a fantastic time, and it was my absolute pleasure to take her out and about to some of my favorite locales and share in the New England scenery.
One of my favorites was showing her the local park where I spent a huge amount of time in my younger years. It is particularly special to me because within that park is a tree planted in my late grandfather’s honor. To be able to share that with her meant a great, great deal to me.
And, since she pretty much trusts my judgement, we also went out to a few local places for some killer food. Italian and Bavarian, for the record. 😄
I could go on and on about what a magnificent time we had, but suffice to say that it was a very special weekend for me, and I am eternally grateful that she chose to spend her most valuable time with me.
Thank you, Laura, and love always. 💓
After you, m’lady.
So, in closing, I will just say thank you again to everyone for your care and concern. I cannot promise I will be around a ton in the short term, but I will do my best. I have some irons in the fire that demand my most immediate attention. As I said, certain aspects of my life need to change ASAP and that is currently my number one priority.
Before I go, I will answer one burning question:
What about NTT?
Well, what about it, indeed.
Coming Soon.
Coming soon to a WordPress near you…
The return of No Theme Thursday. 😎
I intend to do my best to have one posted next week for those who wish to continue participating.
One minor caveat: I may not be able to do round up posts for a spell, but I will try.
Unfortunately, time is at a premium for me, so I have to kind of cobble things together on the fly and cannot commit my full resources to any one project. Hopefully, you all understand and can allow me a bit of latitude. It will be greatly appreciated. 🙏
So, anyhow, I’m gonna shut the hell up for now and go back into my hidey-hole. 😄
Have a great one, folks. Thank you again for everything, and know that you are missed.
