I haven't posted for some time, and the reason is my ADD. See, we all have this bubble of things in our lives that we can control - our families, our work, ourselves, our houses, etc.
My bubble is smaller than other people's. I assume it's because of the ADD, or the depression, or some other undiagnosed mental illness, but I seem to be able to handle less in my life than other people. When something comes up, something else goes flying out of the bubble.
So when the holidays come up, other things have to disappear. Thanksgiving was very busy - dinner on Thursday and Saturday (not here), I have a project going crazy at work, and my aunt and uncle were out of town and I was responsible for my grandma. Added on top of our regular schedule, it was more than I could do and some things had to give - Words With Friends, riding the bus, dishes, this blog.
You cannot believe what had to give when we had kids. If you haven't seen me in a while, believe me when I say it's not you, it's me.
Miss you, but the bubble thing is a wonderful analogy. See you on the flip side, once some other things have moved back OUT of the bubble.
