And I haven’t posted since Wednesday? Sorry everyone. It’s not that I’m particularly busy, but I am trying to spend less time at the computer, so I guess it follows that there will be less time for blogging. The Internet can often be a gift (where else can you find such hilarious entertainments as David After Dentist or Kittens, Inspried by Kittens!!! ??). But I have, over the course of the last couple of months, developed a rather troubling pain in my left shoulder and arm that, according to my physical therapist, is likely related to my extensive computer usage.

This winter has been extremely long and very cold with a seemingly endless stretch of persistent and bitterly cold weather coupled with well timed winter storms that meant there has been snow on the ground almost continually since the middle of December. I find that I’ve been spending a lot of time at the computer and everything else in my life has suffered–the housework, my knitting, my Weight Watchers program, probably even the children. Last week, I canceled many of my rss feed subscriptions, including those for Buzzfeed and BoingBoing. I now find myself with more hours in the day for housework, knitting, writing and yoga (which I hope will help improve the hunched computer user’s posture I’ve developed over the last several months).

I’m so glad winter is almost finished.
