So I can't believe it has been a MONTH since I last posted. Life is busy for everyone, I know, especially at this time of year. In my day job, our busiest time of year is November, December and January and we all work crazy long hours during those months.
I'm still figuring out what to do with the info from my allergy tests. Having the info is one thing. Interpreting and turning it into practical, useful ways to improve my health issues is another. So I'm still navigating the health system and that is time consuming and brain draining.
And I also want to spend what little spare time I do have with my gorgeous toy boy. After years of being on my own, I am making up for lost time with this awesome dude, and would frankly rather be hanging with him than doing almost anything else.
I've been feeling your conspicuous absences, some of you especially, and I know you are making a point. And fair enough. I just don't have the time to comment on every post of every blogger I love. That doesn't mean I'm not reading and it doesn't mean that I don't adore your awesome guts.
It just means that I am quickly reading your post in the two minutes I have to spare between fifty tasks at work and I don't have time to leave the careful, considered comment that I would like to leave you. Or I'm reading on my phone at 4am, awake for the third time that night. Or while I'm brushing my teeth, or sitting on the loo (
what? don't pretend you don't do it).
And I've been considering whether it's time to stop blogging.
I don't have time to post. I don't have time to comment.
I don't have time, in all honestly, to have my lip waxed,
and I'm not even participating in Movember.
Real life is getting in the way.
But I don't really want to stop blogging.
I still love it. And I miss some of you guys
terribly.
So I'm gonna try this...
I'm gonna blog on my terms.
When I feel like it.
When I'm able.
And I'm disabling comments.
So there's no way you can comment, and no way I can feel horribly negligent when I don't have the time to reciprocate. It doesn't mean I'm not still loving you and enjoying your blog (because I AM!) but I still want to participate on blogworld, in whatever way I am able right now.
So this post is my first experiment.
It's awfully long winded.
And you can't comment. Even if you want to! Actually if you really want to, you can still find me on facebook and comment all you like. We can even chat.
I don't know if this is a good idea or not. But let's give it a go and see what happens. I'm extremely narcissistic and it's hard to give up blogging.
So this was November...
A few weeks ago Toy Boy and I headed down to Bright, in the Victorian Alps, for the Bright Rod Run (Hot Rod Festival).
Obviously I was a cowgirl
This is the back yard of our accommodation. There was a magical stream running through it, with a little bridge, and Disney critters EVERYWHERE.
Oh, and naturally I sat around posing in a leopard print caftan.
I've had some incredible op shopping joy. The below 1950s barkcloth dress was a
STEAL (don't ask the price, it will make you
CRY). I wore it to a friend's birthday dinner, followed by an Iron Maiden tribute show that was frickin
AWESOME.
Check out the chartreuse ribbon and bows detail. Check out my Smug Bastard expression. You can't really blame me, though.
I had a week in bed with a lousy throat infection.
That was no fun.
I did the school pick up one day...
We have more madness coming up. Toy Boy flies to Sydney on Monday to pick up the campervan. I have more crazy hours at work. Then on Friday (Toy Boy's birthday) we are driving back to Bright for another fab weekend with my sistah
Dee and when we get back we move straight into our new house sitting place.
And what to wear for a 48 hour flying visit? Who can decide!
So that's it. November.
If you have a comment or question or just want to call me an idiot (
thanks anonymous!) you can find me on
facebook or you can always email me.
And if you have stuck it out this far, THANK YOU a LOT! Sarah xxx
