I think that one of the universal truths about writing a blog is that every time a blogger says they are back writing, life interferes! In my case my husband got rebound Covid. Another car pool driver got Covid. High school started and required the last person(me) standing to drive. The plumbing had a glitch. Crickets invaded the house (one lucky, multitudes not.) The painters started painting the outside of our old home. This meant that at any moment a face was peering into the one window I thought I could freely walk in front of unclad. None of this supported the calm frame of mind I use to write.
Anyway I hesitate to say that I am back. I will say with confidence that I am posting today. I think I won’t tempt fate by predicting anything about tomorrow.
Hopefully yours…

Writing time is often interrupted by important and extremely unimportant things.

Especially the extremely unimportant things–crickets in the mousetraps come to mind.

“Crickets in the mousetraps” sounds like a good title for a blog post.

Can you believe that they had been eating the bait? True. Love the idea of a blog title.

I feel much better about life getting in the way after reading your post. Misery loves company? Work is on overload, company every weekend, and hubby has medical issues that require me to help out. I have posted (not often) yet am weeks behind reading fellow bloggers posts. Best to you, Elizabeth.

Thanks so much. I may never catch up. I am trying to decipher any etiquette for catching up besides the rules I set for myself!
