Abacus and Quill

It really was the universe, but it was delivered by RSS. Read it here.

True story. Once I wrote a series of blog posts about how frustrated I was in the job market, and then I freaked out. That wasn’t who I wanted to be! Sure, it’s who I was in that particular moment, but isn’t that what blogging is all about? But I just figured that out (possibly again – sometimes I catch my self ‘figuring things out’ and then I have to figure it out again and again and again*) and unfortunately, the person I was in that particular moment deleted the posts. Can you believe the gall of me? And my counterpart on this blog was really generous about it. I only got one email which said “Um, what happened to your stuff?”

Anyhow, today I realized that I could see all those deleted posts in my newsreader. And everyone knows that stuff on the internet doesn’t ever REALLY go away. And then the UNIVERSE spoke to me and here I am. Blogging. I’m very excited.

I’ll leave you with a question: Once you have used the frozen bag of mixed peas and carrots to ice a muscle pull, is it really ok to feed it to your family? I hope this doesn’t keep me up tonight.

*I have a series of entries in my journals I will call OMG, it’s 198_/199_/20__ and I just figured out why I eat too much. Only the year keeps changing. (Apparently I was good in the ’70s.) I will be doing this once a year for the rest of my life until I actually do figure it out. And that reminds me, I saw a trashy magazine with the headline “Oprah finally puts to rest her battle with weight” (or something like that) and my first though was “Did Oprah DIE?” So, some things just take a long time.
