In A Funk

So right after I announce I’m going to do a 13-part series of blog entries, I disappear from sight. What’s the deal?

I’m not really sure. Generally when I’ve disappeared from my blog it’s because I can’t muster up the gumption. That’s … pretty much the deal here, too. I can’t point to anything specific, but I’ve just not felt like I could write anything.

I still don’t, really.

I’d like to blame SAD, that seasonal thing that affects people because of lack of sunlight, but I never get much sun, so I don’t think it applies. I’ve just been more antisocial than usual and really tired and all the other stuff that goes with it. Nothing holds my interest and it’s hard work to interact with people.

“Classic signs of depression,” you say. Maybe. I don’t care.

Anyway, I’m sure I’ll be back some time. Usually a “everything is bleah” post loosens the cork, but I don’t know.

Be well, friends.

Memories From School

I had an idea the other day for a series of blog posts – specifically, a series of 13 blog posts – with memories I have particular to each year of school, K-12.

I’m not sure how interesting this will be to others, but I think it might serve as a handy way for me to remember some things. My memory gets worse every day, so I imagine there’ll come a point when I’ve forgotten pretty much everything.

I don’t know that I’ll do all 13 right in a row (though it’s certainly possible), but I think I’m going to embark on this little journey. You’re welcome to come along.

I’m not sure how it’ll go, and I might not have a memory for every year, but I’ve not been able to shake the idea to do this, so I think I’m going to do it.

Consider yourself well and duly warned.
