So, when I restarted this blog, I promised myself that I would do two things with it.

1. I would always be honest - no matter what.
2. I would find a posting schedule that I could maintain and do exactly that.

In the essence of #1, I have to honestly say that it's been hard for me to achieve #2 here lately. And it's not because of a lack of topics to cover. There are so many things that I actually want to discuss about the diseases that I and so many others have to deal with, but there's also the dark side of the disease that makes it difficult to do anything planned in advance.

The main reason that I picked Blogger to maintain this blog is because I was familiar enough with the way it worked. I can use this familiarity to my advantage and set up posts to publish even when I'm not able to work on anything on that particular day. For example, I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck that's reversed over me and hit me again. If I had felt up to working on my blogs all day yesterday, I could have had this post already typed up and set to go at whatever time I chose. On a day in which my hands feel up to it, I can crank out two or three posts and publish in advance any that are finished up or ready. It really does pain me that I have used up all the posts that I had done "just in case" something were to prevent me from sitting here and typing out whatever I wanted to say that day.

Future posts may be informative or they may be simply short ones to say how things are going. I'm going to fight to maintain the schedule I have set for myself until it's proven to be too much for me to handle. As of this moment, I do feel like that truck's been by here too many times. We've had storm system after storm system come through our state and it hasn't been the best of roller coaster rides, let me tell you. Doing a lot of catching up with my crocheting and reading for my book blog has been the orders of the day. I still have over 35 hats and scarves to create while reading through a dozen or so books that need reviews. Can't say that I haven't found away to stay busy. One slow stitch or word at a time!

Since Thursday is the 4th of July, a holiday here in the States, I won't be posting a regular post. It will probably be just wishing everyone a very happy and safe 4th. No matter where you are, take time to enjoy the simple joys and freedoms in life.

Until next time,
Kay
