And I’m trying to find out why you don’t have a car any more:) Is there a post on it that I haven’t found yet?

This really strikes a chord with me as I try and keep up with too many blogs and recently I just had to stop doing anything more than skip through my emails and then blob on the couch with Frankie and Beryl in front of TV for an hour or so or I think I would have lost my sanity! The world has kept revolving without any posts from me and nobody has stopped doing their blogs because I haven’t had time to read or comment:) And people are kind enough to stop by and read the few posts I’ve managed lately and comment even though I haven’t been able to reciprocate:) I am very grateful for that. While I don’t feel tension about not blogging much myself I do feel bad about not being able to keep up with the blogs I love, and even the blogs I like:) But it’s more important to me to have some down time for myself and spend some quality time with the kids.

Yoga is the best way I’ve found to relieve that tension – even if it’s only 20 minutes per day. I have to admit that I haven’t been very good at setting that time aside, but I’m hoping to get back to it once we land in Austin for the winter. Spending time with the dogs is the other thing that gets me out of my head – not just walking them and continuing to run down the to-do list in my mind – but really making an effort to be present with them. Watch their body language, notice how happy they are, work on teaching them a new trick. The amazing thing that I’ve found … though I often feel I don’t have time to take a break from the computer, so far the world has continued to spin on it’s axis without me.

Sign me up! I will be a happy girl on that day!

I think you’re right. 🙂

I spend a lot of time writing and I’ll often scrap a post at the last minute and start again – or leave it unfinished and come back when I am feeling more inspired. My perfectionism tends to keep me at the keyboard much longer than necessary. This weekend’s blogathon was a good lesson for me. 24 posts in 24 hours meant that I rarely had longer than 60 minutes to write, edit and format each post. (Guest bloggers gave me some leeway, but not a ton.) The posts aren’t my best writing, but they aren’t my worst either. It was an eye opener to see how much I could accomplish in just an hour if I buckled down and did it. And today’s lazy afternoon playing fetch, walking and snuggling was a great reward for learning to let go of the keys.

BOL! So the answer to nerdiness is adopting a dog? That should be the next pet adoption video Edie Jarolim posts at Will My Dog Hate Me. 🙂

Isn’t it amazing how even when you don’t feel like going for a walk, you have a great time once you get out there? Dogs must be magic!

Sounds like he’s doing a good job of training you to get off the computer and have some fun. 🙂

You are such a prolific and thoughtful commenter. I don’t know how you do it all.

It is hard to balance because I also feel that spending time on the computer is also about community and supporting others.

But, of course, we have people who live with us who also need support.

Someday we’ll probably have ports in our brains so we can post comments or blog posts while doing mindless tasks–like talking a shower.
