I am finally getting back to writing as I cannot believe I went this far without putting a single post out here. It’s even worse when I realize that I have authors waiting on book reviews. I got to say I did my best to stay normal over the insanity that was 2020 but dang writing was one thing I just let getaway.

I don’t get it either as I like to use my imagination, let words flow through the click-clack on a keyboard, and just share through my words with others. Yeah, that was a long sentence, and just do not want to edit it. Haha

Anyway, I try and think back and what may have caused this lack of writing and all I can come up with is the following.

I tried so hard to stay normal and not give in to the fear that Covid brought to the world. I refused to watch the news and instead did my research. As my job involves analytical thinking, I looked at a lot of the numbers and came to conclusions from those numbers. Things that were not shared within the major news outlets. I also read how some things were inflated and blah blah blah. I do not want to get into politics or open a can of worms as it’s a touchy subject. Covid that is.

I figured the more I tried to stay normal, not fall into that the more I stepped away from technology. I would do my work and avoid social media and so much more. I did not want to fall into a trap that may lead to a re-occurrence of Depression as I’ve been there and do not want to step into that mind field again. Yes, that was intentional instead of a minefield I did it as mind field. See, the big D gripped me in college and with Multiple Sclerosis it can easily try and find its way back into my mind. So, I turned the part of my mind off that would allow such thoughts off and I believe it took part of my imagination with it.

There was a long period where I did not pick up a book or do any form of reading. I would work, get off the computer and put my energy into other things. I wish I could say it was all productive, but nope it wasn’t.

Now, that I am being honest I realized after some time I was getting back to wanting to share with others. I got to a point I would make, or attempt to make, humorous posts on my social media.  I titled them with, “So I was thinking…” and I share some just below.

You may ask what does this all mean, you know get to the point. It means I am going to strive to get writing again and posting here. I have authors waiting and have begun reading again as well. There is more to come as I did not truly stop writing, I just took an extended break throughout a worldwide crazy. I’ll wrap this here and share some of my “So I was thinking…” below and do hope those who read find them a bit funny.

So, I was thinking…It amazes me how so many of us get wrapped up in a fictional world of characters from books, movies, and TV. It can get so bad some forget about the reality around them. I got to say there are times when I’d like to forget what’s real. I stop though the moment I stub my foot or something as dang accidental self-harm sure gets you back to reality fast. OUCH!!! That is all.

So, I was thinking…I purchased a bottle of water to cool off after grocery shopping. What gets me is the fact it has an expiration date. I mean how does water if in a sealed container? It’s going to drink itself or go bad. The logical me feels maybe it’s on the container, and the odd me thinks it’s a special water that will go bad, break from its container and become a BLOB type of creature devouring all it touches and absorbs as it grows the more it consumes. I think I saw that in a movie. HAHA, I blame the heat…That is all.

So, I was thinking…Getting ready to go out and do some yard work and was looking in the closet for a t-shirt and jeans to wear. It hit me, why the heck put on clean clothes to go and do yard work. No one is going to care if I wear a dirty shirt and dirty jeans. Yet, there was one I would NOT compromise. Clean underwear, yep that is one thing I will not go with wearing again. That is all

So, I was thinking…It’s another Friday and many are thrilled about that. However, what if the day of the week names were switched around and Monday became what is Friday. Would people still dislike Monday and love Friday? Hmm yeah, I’ll leave it there. That is all.

So, I was thinking…If more gas stations go to pay at the pump or pre-pay inside, I’ll save money. I like to fill my tank when I get gas and never have an idea how much. Also, if I must go inside to pre-pay, I’m less likely to look at the drinks and munchies. So, I find myself paying outside and saving a trip inside. Oh, not just money maybe lose some weight as not getting the junk food inside. Ohhh a potential win-win save cash/lose weight. That is all.

So, I was thinking…It’s the simple reactions that can get a laugh. I mean like the steak house waitress’s eyes going big about what they have for vegetarians. If better when adding just kidding a moment later. Yeah, had to do it..that is all.

I’ll close this post out with a That is All for this one. Hope you enjoyed it.
