I’m sorry I’ve been so silent here.  Frankly, there is so much going through my mind that I cannot process it.  Some of it is better left in my brain or put onto paper the old-fashioned way–with a writing instrument.  Some of it has to be polished for public consumption.

What is that?  A modicum of restraint I’m exhibiting?  Wow.  I’m proud of myself 🙂

Some people function well when they have a bunch of free time.  They take the free time, prioritize, make tasks and take on the world.  I am not one of those people.  When I have too much free time, I start out with the best of intentions of maintaining a normal schedule…get up at a certain time, clean, cook, write, visit with people, go to bed at a decent time.  Within a week, I’m staying up until crazy times, sleeping in, walking around not accomplishing anything.

Simply put, I need a schedule.  I need structure.  I function best in that capacity.  I thrive under pressure, with deadlines.  Once I have a schedule, my body (ie sleep rhythm) will adjust rather quickly.  However, my natural rhythm is to get up late (after 10AM) and to stay up late (until 1-2AM.)

Basically, I’m making a bunch of excuses about why I’ve been lacking in the blogging department.  Monday starts some structure in my life.  My mind will be focused and I will begin accomplishing much.  

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

And for letting me be real.
