Marching On

My neighborhood on a sunny March day
It seems that every time I commit myself to writing more, that is the exact opposite of what I do. After my last post, I got excited and started working on multiple posts and then...well, I'm not sure what happened then. February set in, and things got gloomy and busy (you can try to persuade me that February is not the worst month, but you will fail). The computer that I usually use for, well, everything decided that February would be its last gasping breaths month. Now, instead of turning off some of the time that I unplug it, it turns off any time I unplug it. Immediately. Even if it's in sleep mode. As much as I love using my iPad for pretty much everything, blogging is not one of those things. And while I contemplate buying a new computer (appealing in every aspect besides price) I've let this little alcove of the internet lie dormant. It's not that I don't want to write, or that I have no inspiration (which would perhaps be easier to deal with) it's that I've let other things get in the way. Instead of sitting with my computer after work, I sit with my iPad, which, while useful for watching TV shows and listening to music and browsing the internet, isn't great for actual typing. And on weekends I'm desperate to turn my brain off after the work week. But all the thoughts rattling around in my head have to go somewhere, and for now, this is that somewhere. So once again I'll treat this as my virtual window seat - my place to sit and think and write it all down. Here's to a fresh (re)start and hoping I actually keep with it this time.
