Villainous Company

I doubt I'll quit blogging entirely - I think if I quit cold turkey you'd come here one morning only to find this little hamster lying here, cold and stiff, little legs pointed towards Heaven in a final salute.

But I'm only going to post when I feel like it. Some days I may not post at all. Some days I may just work on the site - fix things I haven't had time to do since I started in December that have been bugging me.

Or I may just finally paint my dining room celadon green and put up that crown molding I saw at Lowe's. And get John Harrison out to repour my front landing and cap it with flagstone and reset the front walkway.

Or I may go out and buy myself some new clothes and clean out my closet. I keep forgetting I have a life.

I hope I don't lose readers because of this, because you all are very important to me. But if you choose to move on, I will certainly understand. And I am grateful to you all for bearing with me thus far.

I don't want to make a big deal out of this - I just wanted to limit the drama and give you a concrete limit with some idea of what to expect: a week of very light blogging then a reasonable plan for where to go from there. Because something has to give, and I would very much prefer that it not be my sanity :)

You'll notice comments are not enabled on this post. That's not because I don't love reading them - who wouldn't? But you've already been so generous and supportive, and there tends to be an aspect of "blegging" about this sort of post. I thank all of you for your kindness. You've overwhelmed me, and frequently yesterday brought me to tears. Reading your comments, I could easily have gotten a swelled head, except that it's so obvious what kind of people you are: good, caring, kind people. In the end, your comments say much more about the kind of people you all are than they do about me. I was never more proud.

I just don't want to make anyone go through that again - it would be manipulative and that doesn't feel right.
