I don't have much to say other than that - but I wanted you to know that I'm looking forward to your next entry. I just found your blog from a link from Plain-Jane, and I found it very compelling.

Nothin to it but to do it. I just try not to fuck up the same way twice. Or at least twice a day, since to be honest I tend to learn through many, many repetitions of the same error. And I feel your pain on not writing enough. I have my one blog, then my woman started a co-authored blog about relationships or some such brouhaha that I try and contribute to whenever I get tickled by the muse and happen to have some spare time. Between the two, plus clumsily attempting to educate myself in the voodoo of photoshop, plus working full time, plus keeping my life in something resembling order, plus taking care of a long distance relationship, and somewhere trying to have one of them lives everyone keeps raving about ... I get a bit overstretched at times. But it's all good. You post when you can post and you take care of business when you need to take care of business. It's just a fancy electronic diary/soapbox really.

Good luck with your move. I know how stressful it all is. I want my babies back too sometimes, and mine are 16 and 13. They are just so busy with their own lives now, which is great, but I am not going to pretend that it doesn't hurt. Take Care Of Yourself! Tammy Hi Cazza,

Two of mine have flown the nest and the youngest is staying with the oldest whilst we move. The pain! I am thrilled that we have raised three responsible (usually), mature, independent, loving, friendly (etc etc etc) young adults BUT I WANT MY BABIES BACK. Thank you for your observation on accomplishment. It's just what I need right now. Don't feel bad that you don't write as much as you (and we!) would like. Just don't stop altogether!!
