Holy Cow!

Yep, that's what I thought when I saw how long it had been since I last posted. Holy cow, it's been over a year since I last posted!

My weight struggle continues. It's not likely to end anytime soon and it's not likely to result in a blog as powerful as The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl, who has retired that blog and continued at Shauna Reid. There was a time when I could have been Shauna Reid, except that my thyroid betrayed me, Lyme disease took over, perimenopause started, and I've been fighting ever since to reduce my weight and regain my health.

Today, however, I read some posts by Single Dad Laughing and I thought Dan Pearce has something to say on a regular basis. I don't. Maybe I should.

In his FAQs, Dan says, in response to the question "Do you think you'll run out of content?": No. I don't think that's possible. The world is spinning too fast for that to happen.

I think about my weight every day. I think about other stuff every day, too. And Dan is right: The world is spinning too fast for that to happen.

Sometimes what I think is unusual. Other times it's pretty mundane. No matter. I've always liked to write. And that's what I intend to do here.

I don't have a lot of followers and I don't care. I used to keep a journal. After many years of writing, I read some of it and I thought most of it was really inane; I fed all of its pages into our wood stove. I hope that I'm now old enough, wise enough, experienced enough . . . Oh, Hell (or should that be "hell," for the atheist that I am) . . . crazy enough to edit myself into something meaningful.
