I’ve said that least 1881573 times. The problem this like that is they are just too compilcated for the average bird, if you know what I mean

Sharon, if I had four kids, I wouldn’t get diddlysquat done! Thankfully, the editing deadline has been extended so that’s a bit of pressure off. However, we’re still waiting to get our one and only vehicle back from the repair shop, waiting on a final closing date, and hubby can’t find a motorcycle locally so we’re looking at a trip to Phoenix for that. As you said, “Oy!”

I’m glad you are feeling better and are taking the time you need to have a good life. The older I get, the more important I think it is to enjoy life to the fullest extent possible. I don’t mean ODing on addictive substances, just breathing in the awe of being alive in the midst of all the rest of the living beings and the amazing Earth system we are part of.

Play in the dirt, with the kids, with the animals, with Eric, whatever you need to do. The book will be there when you are ready, and better for it.

Glad to read that you are still blogging but putting your needs first. As things get more challenging, we will have to constantly review the self-imposed priorties. As a former type A (although others would argue about the former part), I have got to keep reminding myself to slow down and do the task at hand and also to play once in a while!
Enjoy your Passover celebration and spring finally coming!

Chile – I’m impressed that you can do what you are doing – honestly, the idea of moving fills me with blind horror – I used to be really, really good at it – I moved 12 times in 10 years and I had it down to a science. Then I had four kids and stayed in place for nearly a decade and the inertia…oy. Good luck with the move!

Sharon, I love your books as much as anyone, but I am glad for you that you are taking even just a little bit of time to embrace your inner slacker. That is wonderful. I know you might be tired of your readers going “holy crap, how does she get all of that done…?” but really, holy crap! Congratulations on plans to sleep in, hang out with your family, play in the garden and all of that. Planting seeds every day keeps the doctor away!

Happy surprise that you are back today! I thought you might take off a few more days. I’ve had some blog withdrawal since chile is busy packing to move and do all that kind of stuff and you were gone for some well deserved time off.

Glad you are feeling better and your spring is coming soon.

peace, shamba

So glad you are feeling better. I always have believed that there is a real spring fever that has to do with the winter dragging on and then the season change. Get out and get that Vit D.

Welcome back! I’m happy you negotiated a deadline that gives you more breathing space.

I’ve discovered that when I have to, I can function in manic overdrive for a surprisingly long time … but when I finally hit the wall, it takes months to recover. Not fun. Congratulations on your decision to not drive yourself clinically insane; I highly support it. ;D
