Sorry I've been M.I.A. I'm on day 12 of the cold/flu bug and I'm finally feeling better. My horrible cough is almost gone. I don't need triple doses of Advil to get rid of the headaches. I'm starting to feel alive again. I just couldn't deal with the blog when I was sick so I kind of just let it sit for a week.
Speaking of which, what to do with the blog.....
I've been trying to figure out what to do with this silly blog of mine. I've had a lot of fun writing it. But sheesh it takes a lot of time and energy. Maybe I'll feel differently after I've hired someone at work and don't feel so exhausted every day.
All I know is that it's not a good thing to spend a lot of time on something that annoys the heck out of Don, and I only have a handful of readers. So basically I'm writing for myself (and my mom.) That doesn't make much sense does it? Maybe I just need a diary. Then I can really write down what I feel and there won't be pressure to publish something new - for myself. As I write this I'm really starting to think that I have a few screws loose. I think I need to reconnect with the world in a real way.
Yesterday we spent the day at Pollin's, our store in Napa (pictured here.) I love our store and want to spend more time helping to build sales. I just can't do it all. Or at least that's how it feels. So maybe I need to redirect my energy and write a blog that ties in with our business. hmmmm
Sigh...........All this thinking for the past two minutes has given me a headache.
If you want to read a fun and interesting blog check out The Pioneer Woman. She's amazing. She lives on a ranch outside of Tulsa, home-schools four kids, cooks, writes, takes amazing photos and never complains. I wish I could be like her. I definitely need to lighten up. I've turned into miss cranky pants.
So if I do come back I promise to be full of smiles and happiness. No one wants to follow Debbie Downer. And if I don't come back, enjoy TPW. She's the best.
Enjoy the holidays! Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!!
Your friend,
Kris

Hi Kris-
ReplyDeleteIt is that flu bug. Give yourself some time. You are usually such an upbeat person but, between the flu and the holiday stress, you have worn yourself out.
If you leave, I will not know what wine to pick with dinner. I am not good at picking, and look for wine you thought was good when I go out. You have not failed me yet!

Hmmmm.....you are on to something with the business tie. Don't lose the friend just morph a bit
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments. I think I will just take a little vaca and see what happens in January. 'Cuz I still have a lot to say! My little pea brain just can't manage it all right now. ha, ha.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss it Kris! I hope you do come back in the New Year. I understand though, it is a lot of work.
