Dear Blog Visitor,
I haven't visited many of your blogs in a very long time.
That is why I suck and why I am sorry.
Since I started my full-time job last June, I've found it harder and harder to visit other blogs.
I work, I go home, I try to write as much as I can as long as I have the energy and motivation, I go to bed, and repeat. Come the weekend, I'm trying to recuperate from the work week and write, write, write. I haven't even had time to read a graphic novel. *sigh*
(This work/life routine may be the same with you, and you still may be able to visit blogs and comment on them, but I urge you to remember that we all have different capacities for things. I am a spoonie and suffer from a lot of chronic pain, more than I did at the start of last year, so that takes it out of me, too.)
At work, there's been times when I could create blog posts (like now), but for some reason, I'm not able to log in to comment on other people's blogs or even to reply back to comments on my own posts, which is less than ideal. I have to do that on my iPad, which is also less than ideal.
I forget all the time to use one of my own devices to reply back to comments on my own posts, which is sad.
So, I want to say to those of you who visit my blog but maybe don't comment, THANK YOU! I may not see a visible sign that you're here, but I SEE YOU, and I appreciate your visit.
To those of you who visit and leave a comment (there's a few of you who I consider my faithful commenters), I THANK YOU for continuing to visit my blog and to grace me with your thoughts when I haven't done the same for you in a long time.
I am going to do my best to visit more of your blogs, and I really mean that.
For now, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! And I am sorry for not reciprocating as much as I should've. I’ll get better at it. I promise.
Take care,
Chrys Fey
It's hard to adjust to a new routine. When I'm at work, I go into an incognito window on my work computer to visit blogs and comment, but I can't necessarily visit all the blogs. And some days I'm just too busy at work to actually do it. You'll find a new normal. It may take a while to get there, but you'll get there.
ReplyDeleteIncognito mode is smart.
DeleteYou definitely don't suck. Our best is all any of us can ever do, and I know for a fact that you are doing that. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks. I do my best.
DeleteWork does tend to get in the way of life, but it definitely doesn't mean you suck. Your writing comes first, and if you still have time to drop in on any of us, great. But no need to comment every time.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that, Rebecca. <3
DeleteYou don't suck! 😁 Life happens. Work is something that we need to do. It likes to get in the way.
ReplyDeleteIt really does like to get in the way. I miss my life before... *sigh*
DeleteI hear you! I'm in exactly the same boat. I have a rare day off today and hoping to at least make a dent in the backlog...
ReplyDeleteIt's tough. I hope you made a dent.
DeleteTake care of yourself. There's a lot you have to deal with, including the chronic pain. I can't image but I always admire your spunk. Comment when you can, but first take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeff!
