    I'm Back!



    I took a vacation from Xanga for a few months, while I was trying to take a vacation from my life.  Well, no matter how I tried, I couldn't avoid my life, but, I tried anyway.  Had a case of the blues, I guess, a particularly nasty and long-lived one.  This was further exacerbated by a variety of circumstances.  Nothing major, in the end result, but, you know how sometimes all the little things just add up to more than you feel like dealing with??  I don't know whether I will write about this here later, or if I will just let things go by like they never happened, and start fresh. 


    One of the circumstances that has been particularly annoying, and has had the most bearing on my dissapearance from my Internet presence (which was pretty much my only interaction with the world beyond a very small sphere centering on my home and immediate family) was an ongoing problem with my Internet connection. It started with a total outage for a week in early July, and continued on with increasing connectivity difficulties.  I couldn't seem to stay online for more than a few minutes at a time without disconnecting.  This was not only very annoying, but also made it impossible for me to continue with my eBay listings, and even very difficult to just read and respond to email.  I had the cable technicians in the house, checking hardware, software, wires, everything, ever couple of weeks to no avail.   The cable company acted like I was crazy, and I was beginning to think they were right.  And then, last saturday,  I went out and bought a new cable modem.  Bingo!  Problem fixed, and at much faster speed as well. 


    I hate technology sometimes.


    Anyway, I have been getting around a bit to peoples sites, and hopefully will be able to get caught up over time -- you guys have been busy!  Things are looking different, better even, in my life, and I really miss the mental clarity that putting my thoughts down in this journal helps to create.  I also miss hearing from all my Xanga-buddies.  So I am making a promise to get back to blogging.  As of now.


    See you all soon, dear readers.
