Today, I’m just not in the mood to write.
Part of me thinks I should power through and do it anyway.
Another part thinks I should give myself permission to take the night off.
This isn’t the first time I’ve felt this way since starting the blog back in December 2022. On days like this, I usually try to find a meme to post—just so you know I’m still alive and well.
Other times, when I don’t feel like writing, I’ll open a blank Word document and just let the words flow—stream-of-consciousness style. But lately, I’ve noticed I really want to be “in the mood” before I write anything at all.
Looking back, I think it was easier to write when we were living with Megan, and even in the early days of moving into our current home. Back then, there was something new happening every day. Eventually, I started to wonder if people were actually that interested in my daily life.
I even went through a stretch where I wrote political blogs, but I stopped. Forty-seven and his crowd are doing so many things that are unconstitutional—it started to feel overwhelming. I didn’t think I was doing the topics justice. I’m still following what’s going on, I’ve just chosen not to write about it right now.
On a happier note, my brothers Jeff and Todd left yesterday morning and made it back to Ohio safe and sound. Joe and I both agreed—it was great having them here. Already looking forward to their visit next year.
Today, I was definitely more in the mood to watch The Equalizer on Netflix. I started it about three weeks ago and I’m already into Season 3. It’s a crime drama/action thriller that also weaves in social issues. I love watching Queen Latifah (she plays Robyn McCall, a retired CIA agent) kick butt in every episode.
I also managed to clean the bathrooms and get the guest bedrooms ready—our next visitors arrive June 18th.
So... even though I wasn’t in the mood to write today, this is the blog you’re getting from me.
