Erm, Hello Everybody; It's Me Again

[poliphilo]

So- metaphorically speaking- I went  as far as the street corner, hung around till it got chilly and then came home. There are, I believe, marriages in which this kind of thing happens all the time.

I hope I've been away long enough not to seem a complete fool.

Besides,  I proved to myself I can get by without having the computer on all the time- and that's good.  For the best part of a week, I switched it on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night- and all the rest of the day I did housework, tidied the attic, cooked plum crumble, socialized, read books, watched Ghost Whisperer- and did crossword puzzles.  It was a return to basics. I enjoyed it.

But crossword puzzles or LJ- which is the better use of my time?  No-brainer, that one.  Besides I was lying in bed, composing LJ posts in my head, and it seemed pretty silly not to be writing them down.

I was wondering how long you'd be away. Writing is a good habit. So is sharing. I know I haven't been posting as much on my own LJ- I've been hanging out at other places a bit more than I should.

I am working on not spending quite so much time online as I've been- but I will always try to make that time.

I am glad you've decided to, also.

Yes, it's a good habit- and one I've always cultivated. The problem was I was getting so I felt I had to post something every day- and then obsessing over it. I needed to remind myself there are other things in life.
