Not dead, just busy.

th-1This morning I realized it’s been nine days since I posted. That’s not good, but it’s sometimes inevitable. Times are I get too bound-up in real life and can’t find time first to come up with a topic and then to write it.

Unfortunately, I may maintain radio silence for another week or so. Blame a combination of visiting relatives (they get here Sunday and will stay for a week), everyday deadlines, some fill-in child care for two families and a couple of special projects.

And, of course, the tail-end of a particularly amazing Alaska summer.

None of those things is particularly onerous (especially the summer part). Taken together, they’ve usurped all my waking hours. Occasionally they follow me into my dreams, e.g., waking up with a start and thinking, “Is that piece due today or tomorrow? Do I have enough research to finish it? Did I ever get in touch with that specialist?”

 

Again, not evil or insurmountable. It’s just life, which sometimes is entirely too crowded.

This is one of those times. I’ll be back when I can. Maybe I’ll even talk about those projects at some point. Thanks for your patience and, as always, thanks for reading.

Oh, and as long as I’ve got your attention: There’s still time to check out my entry in the #MoneyMinute contest sponsored by GO Banking Rates. If you can watch the 59-second video and click on the green thumb-up symbol (once only, since a second click cancels your vote), I’d be very grateful indeed.

Voting once daily through Aug. 31 would make me even happier. Sharing the following link with your friends and/or on social media? Bonus bliss.

  1. Glad you’re okay. Enjoy the summer part. The past few days here have been fabulous, but the heat and humidity are poised to make a comeback this weekend. Sigh.

  2. Hard for me to believe that summer is drawing to a close… until I realized that it was dark at 7:30 p.m. yesterday, and the sun rises after 6 a.m. #italwaysendstoosoon.
