I've never really been one to complain about trying to fit everything in to my life. I've always had the kind of job that required prioritising and meeting deadlines and so it's been a way of life. If something needed doing, I just got on with it.
But somehow just lately I seem to be missing a few things around the edges. And that includes blogging.
Anyone who reads my other blog will know that I was a little preoccupied last week because I'd lost a rather important document and could find no trace of it, either physically or digitally. I turned the house over while I was looking, so I had a lot of clearing up to do and sorting out and throwing away. (Which is a good thing but you can't see where I've been. It's still a wreck!)
I found it in the end and now I have to start work on it again, but so far I've managed to squeeze in a couple of 10 minute slots, and that's been mainly to get back into the swing of it. (It's a work in progress novel.) Beyond that I've achieved very little.
So this post is by way of a catch-up. A reminder that I'm still here. An apology for not keeping in touch. A bigger apology for not commenting on all your blogs for what seems like ages.
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

No apologies necessary, AJ. Life has a way of taking over other, seemingly inconsequential, matters - like blogs! Real life is more important and must be seen to immediately - blogs can wait!
Hmmm... a good question, that -- is blogging REAL life??
Real life does get in the way of the pleasure of blogging - had the same problem myself across a few months.
As to kaybee's question... I suppose it is in a sense... but there again - is it?
Anna :o]
I wonder how long you would need to explain that question to my grandparents. Life is very different nowadays, real or virtual.
Hey no need to apologise at all. Life is happening for us all and blogging and commenting does sometimes take a back seat however much we miss it! Glad you are ok and your treatment at the dentist is nearly over!! Also that you found your notes and can recover your novel with some hard work! xx
Glad to hear you've found it. x
Better than having nothing to do AJ - and so pleased you have found it.
Works both ways too - if any of us go AWOL we can expect to be understood and not assumed to have gone off in a huff.
Sometimes I wake up one day and it seems it's a week later before I get to bed. I need to learn to say "No".
I'm sure all the drilling in your head doesn't help much either. I still say dentist are Satin's handymen.
We'll still be here. Take your time.
As with Kay..(but she said it first)No apologies needed! Sometimes blogging seems to take on a life of its own. I've resorted to making lists for the last two weeks, as I used to when I was teaching. Surely I can't be that busy! Take your time and stay cool -- oh sorry you're in England and we've had so much HOT weather. Hope yours is improving.
We are supposed to blog about life. Blogging should not control it. Take a break if you need it! :-)
No need to apologise!
we all have times like this!
Hope all goes well with your writing.
Have a great week,
Sandie xx
