Excuses, Excuses

 I wish I had a legitimate answer for why I'm such a toad, but it all comes off as excuses.  

1) DN2 is out of my hands right now and I'm taking some time away from the computer.

2) With everything going on in the world, I need time away from the screen to preserve my sanity.

3) I have so much to do around the house that I don't have much time to spend at my keyboard.

4) Cats

5) I got blasted with a special project at the pay-job and all my computer time was being shunted over to that. And now, even though I'm done with that project, I have all my regularly scheduled work coming in that needs doing.

6) It's gardening time.

7) Those yummy treats aren't going to bake themselves.

So, you see, I've got a lot going on over here.  And I'm a toad.  The long and the short of it is that if I wasn't a toad, I could find time to do what needs doing.  Sometimes I have ever intention of doing stuff and then I forget.  (Brain damage... could've put that on the list of excuses, too, but that's a REALLY old excuse.)

And on that note, I really do have some spreadsheets that I need to get done before the start of the workday in Michigan.

Sometimes I Don't Post

Sorry.  I woke up late and that put me behind for the rest of the morning.  

Anyway, sometimes I just have nothing to say.  Sometimes I have loads to say, but none of it is suitable for the public.  Occasionally, I feel like whatever I have to say will bore the everlovin' crap out of you.  If you get here and you don't see a post, it's due to one of the aforementioned reasons.  

I mean, I would like to have something to offer you every morning.  Especially as it's all part of my 'new month, new attitude' thing right now.  But sometimes having you arrive to nothing is better than you arriving to find me whining or ranting or just being boring.  Like this morning.  Derp.

For now, we survived last night's storms.  More are due tonight.  Yay.... Spring in the Ozarks.  That might be another reason why you don't see a post - power outages.  If I ain't got power, I can't get online to post.  Act of Nature stuff.  

If I'm dead, I'll try to have someone stop in here to let y'all know.  Otherwise, I'm fine.  I've been sicker than a dog and still managed to stop by here.  

:shrug:  And that's why sometimes I don't post.  

How are things in your world?

Yesterday... It's Just Life

Wow, I didn't even think to post yesterday.  Big ol' brainfart there.  No excuses really.  I mean, I could say I've got a lot on my mind, but it's not really anything that wasn't already on my mind.  And nothing worse than what's been on my mind in the past.  Just life.  

I did finish the big project I was working on for the office.  So there's that.

And I had errands to run.

And I'm still a little under the weather.  (Something I ate, folks, not something I caught.  I think it was the chicken sandwich I bought at DG.  It's the only thing I ate that Hubs didn't.)

And I'm not sleeping good.  Again.  Still.  

Like I said, nothing unusual or truly bad.  Just life.

On the brighter side, I'm only 5 pages of notes away from completing this round of editing.  I had hoped to finish it by the end of November, but that was right out.  I got 3 pages done yesterday, though.  Not sure I can do 5 today.  So, I should finish that tomorrow.  And then I can start all over again with re-reading and the note making.  Progress is progress.

Now, I really have to start working on my spreadsheets.  I have to do December, for one thing.  Then I have to work on the big spreadsheets for 2022.  They aren't hard, just tedious.  I also have several spreadsheets for 2022 that I need to do for the office.  Woohoo.  

And I should probably clean.  Or something.

Well, that's my life.  Exciting, isn't it?
