I've been blogging a long time. Since 2003. Lots of things have changed since then.
I changed. Change is what I do.
I shapeshifted and I'm still doing it.
September usually sees my brain buzzing as the seasons move round and this month is off to a flying start. Of course it's not just the autumn wind, low sunshine and gathering birds that have me away in my head much of the time, it's those pesky internets. So in honour of the coming weekend, here are just a few of the wonderful bloggers who have my brain working overtime this week:
Lis
Carrie
Penny
Tracie
Rachelle
Jen Gray
Jessie
A post about some bloke
Claire
Megg
See what I mean?
I'm going to join in with the wonderful Magpie Girl's *8 Things: I need less of. Actually, I'm not too comfortable about listing things of which I want less when I have SO much that I'm grateful for right now. Here goes...
1) I share this with Magpie Girl. Migraines. It's been a bad week and as much as I love my meds I'm not sure how much good they're doing me in the long run. Yet I am completely reliant on them. Hmmm.
2) Weight. I have a lot to lose. More than I ever have before. I'm planning on taking up power-walking/running when we move as there's miles of open road and no people. My oldest friend, who lives in France and whom I haven't seen in about 4 years (thank goodness for online chat) just told me she lost three stone in three months last year and has kept it off. I'm inspired.
3) Whining by my 3 year old. Oh dear god please let this phase end soon, it's killing me.
4) Wrinkles. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
5) Hours spent awake out of every 24. And no I'm not oblivious to the fact that if this one came true, the previous four would probably evaporate. Almost.
6) Dreams about being back working in a restaurant with too many tables to look after and no food to serve.
7)Rubbish/recycling to sort out while I pack for our move. Seriously.
8)Superstition about this kind of list that makes me think that yes I'll lose my migraines but it'll be because a meteor crushes my skull or something. It's so overpowering that I can hardly choose anything. I don't actually want to lose anything and because everything is connected, losing some grey hair may mean I lose my job and the cottage collapses.
And on that happy note...bring on next week!
