I haven’t written in quite some time, and I have some excuses.

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been very busy working. Additionally, my home wireless connection went “kaput” quite some time ago. After several ire-inducing phone calls, I finally got a pleasant (and competent) technician who diagnosed the issue to be that my wireless router was dead.

I obtained a new router through the generosity of a friend and colleague, but despite my best efforts, I could not get my lil’ old Compaq to pick up the signal.

During this frustrating time, a technician for the cable company came out to determine just why my PowerMac G5 wasn’t doing well with connection speed, plugged directly into the modem. He was kind enough to assist me with my wireless issue, even though I know he wasn’t “supposed to.” People are really good, you know? And frankly, it’s sad to think he could get in trouble for simply providing good customer service.

I haven’t been totally idle in my writing, however. I have been blogging for 28 Hours, the Work-Life balance blog on MyPath.

I’ve also been doing a lot of thinking about ways to simplify and get more joy out of my life. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an unhappy person, but I’ve been examining the complication of things lately and realizing that it just doesn’t have to be so… Um, complicated! I’ve taken up knitting and crocheting, and just taking a few minutes each day to knit a row or learn a new stitch is very therapeutic.

So, there you have it. I’ve been busy and busy. But I’ve been taking a lot of notes, so stay tuned for more!
