It’s been 11 days again. Is this the magic number now?
 
However, it doesn’t really seem to matter. I was always writing in OD just for me, but now it really seems that way. I think social media has basically killed this site for its “social” aspect. I think most people don’t really want to read anything that is longer than a few paragraphs. I’m guilty of it myself most of the time.
 
I occasionally have trouble with OD, but with some patience and few refreshes of my browser, I usually get to where I want to be. I haven’t written an entry in my browser since the mid-90s when OD would crash and you would lose everything you wrote. I always write in Word first. I personally feel like the exodus to Prosebox is a bit overblown. Anyway, I paid for a lifetime membership to this site and I plan to use it until it officially dies. Even if I’m writing without an audience.

My boss told me today that I should work from home tomorrow. It’s the small things that make me happy about working here. Today is very slow and the next hour is going to creep by. But I’ll deal because I basically get a five day weekend.

So after an initial enthusiasm of getting on the bed, Rosie hasn’t attempted to snuggle in bed since I’ve been home from my work trip. Mich said she slept in the bed one night while I was gone on my yoga retreat, but the second night she did not and since then she hasn’t even tried. She did however take the changes in the living room like a champ. I moved furniture around so that I could put up the tree. She wasn’t even phased by them. I worry she is bored and not happy. But, she turns 12 today and I guess her long naps and lazy lifestyle are probably paradise to her after the life she led.

I have my work review next week. I think I have done really well here in the last 10 months. I feel like I deserve a raise, especially since they gave me extra responsibilities. I think it will go well.

I got bored and sedentary from redoing the Lifefit program. So with only a few weeks left to finish it for the second time, I decided to switch to a different program. Its 12 weeks long again, but this time, its 7 days a week. There are typically two “cardio” days a week so I guess that’s sorta like a day off because it’s only 26 minutes of cardio. I hope to see myself get off of this plateau.

I miss some of my Favs on here. I miss reading updates from most of you. On-line friendships are so odd. I still think about Wil who passed away in 2011. I miss Jhawk who doesn’t write anymore about politics or anything else. I miss Raven’s updates about her S&M lifestyle, her photography, and her cooking. I miss the librarian duo Lass & Ankhesenamun. I miss Nurse Robin and her musings about her son, her cat, and life. I miss psychiatrist “-b-“ and her stories of her past and future. I miss Lambeth and her stories about art, divorce, and new love. I miss doodlebugg’s updates about his yoga life and social life. I miss my friend Sunflour who has more recently gone MIA. Ashala, at least you share your blog on FB and I love that. And Elf – buddy, you should really write more. I’m sure I’ve missed a few, but my bookmark list is full of unbolded friends who don’t write anymore. And I miss you all.
