Overload and Overhaul

For months now I’ve been trying to find a way to overhaul this blog.  It’s not serving the purpose that it was when I started it in 2008, so I’ve been trying to figure out where blogging fits in with my life right now.

Some say blogs should have a clear focus and a narrow subject.  Running blogs work well.  The personal blog is great for friends and people with similar interests.  I read literary blogs for obvious reasons.  But I like a variety of things.

So I think I’ll change up the categories, pick four or five subjects and stick to those.  The blog will include the things that interest me most, but it won’t be a strictly one-subject blog.

The last few weeks I’ve been trying to limit my internet time because it’s like an addiction.  But I need a way to keep up with my favorite sites without wasting time.

I’ve had about a zillion things on my mind these days and I hope to write some narrative posts in the near future.  I ran my third half marathon yesterday, the first one in almost three years, the first postpartum.  Then my cat went away this morning.  I can’t bear to write the actual words.  The grief has thrown off my week, and there are several deadlines I need to meet.  So that’s that, I guess.
