I did participate in this year’s challenge although there
were times that I wondered if I’d finish.
I wasn’t able to write any posts ahead this year due to my work
schedule, so I winged it pretty much and usually wrote them the night
before.
Also due to time restraints and no linky list this year, I
didn’t get to visit many blogs. I really
wanted to and probably would have if we had the list. It just makes people easier to find on the World
Wide Web. But I know why the moderators
changed that this year. They almost had
to because there’s really no way to monitor a list that size on a daily basis
to make sure everyone’s posting. This is
too bad and unfortunate.
I’ll look up some past blogs when I get a chance and see if
they participated this year. Sometimes I
wish I wasn’t so busy all the time. This
would be a lot easier to do.
On another note, I’ll be leaving to visit family out of
state this coming Tuesday. I may not be
able to get on the internet much while I’m gone. I have to take that day-by-day. Usually family can run you ragged with all
the people to see and places to go as the days quickly tick by. It’s been almost five years since I’ve been
home, so it’s time. Everyone is growing
up and Mama is now living in a nursing home.
Her dementia is getting worse. I’m
sure seeing her will be a shock, but I have to do this before much more time
goes by. None of us are getting any
younger. I just hope she still remembers
me. May’s a good month to go because she
just had her 86th birthday. I
missed that but will be there for Mother’s Day.
I can’t wait to see my family and haven’t slept well in over
a week now. My brain is working overtime
and my nerves are on edge. This is
mostly due to the fact I have to fly to get there. This isn’t something I enjoy doing at
all. My ears are ill-equipped to handle
the altitude. I’ll be lucky if I can
make it there and back without getting dizzy and sick. My fingers are crossed. I’m thankful I could get a nonstop flight at
least. That may help.
I should have new stories to tell and pictures to post when I
return. Stay tuned.
