Hello again.
I’ve been away. Well, not away, so much as not here. It has been a busy time for us at the House of Peevish. Going to appointments. Talking to people. Working. Playing. Doing ALL the things!
Alright, not all the things. For one thing, I have not blogged this week. And in general, I’ve been away from my usual internet haunts this week. I’ve been out of the loop a lot, but that is okay.
Sometimes it is good to take some time offline. Sometimes the angst of others and the bad news of the world and the stupid and the petty annoying can get overwhelming, and so it’s okay to skip it. Sometimes, reading about the minutiae of the lives of others or the things going on that you cannot fathom out in the world or the opinions people have of what you should be or the latest greatest things you need to know and have and be are just… exhausting.
Sometimes you just have to turn off the monitor or close the laptop lid and just walk away. And sometimes, it’s just nice to do so.
We’ve had a lot on the go. For the past two weeks I feel like I have been running and planning and doing full tilt. I haven’t, mind you. It just FEELS like it. But I HAVE been busy. I have had lots of work to do. We’ve had appointments. We’ve had playdates with friends. And we’ve spent some time as a family just relaxing and chilling and doing stuff.
It continues to be busy this week. So we’ll see how things go. Maybe there will be things to say. And maybe it will all be too AAAAUUUUGGGHH and dashing to and fro, and that’s hardly worth writing about, let alone reading about. And maybe it’ll just be me, hanging out and soaking up the last little bit of the season with my kid as the summer draws to a close. And that’s good enough reason to be offline for awhile.
So it has been dark here on my blog. But that is okay. Sometimes the darkness is peaceful for the reader, too. Like a little bit of quiet space amid the noise.
A little bit of offline and quiet, sent from me, who has been offline and quiet.
