Plugged In
I am back from a computer vacation. I was housesitting for some friends and they lived beyond telephone lines. Their house is beautiful and comfortable. I really enjoyed being out of touch. I didn’t go as many places because I didn’t now anything was happening. I wasn’t concerned about the economy or the war because I was not getting daily updates. I had fun being with my kids and not being so concerned with what needed to be done. Without the computer or the phone I had more time to catch up. I wonder how much of my day is spent waiting for pages to load or trying to fix little glitches. I must admit at the end of two weeks I was a little anxious. I had finished three books and knitted a ball of yarn (I am a beginner so this is exciting for me). I wasn’t home so I couldn’t really start new projects. The last two days I became irritable and lazy.
It felt really good to clean that house and return to my own. Now I have access to all sorts of things to do, starting the garden, cleaning, working on the house, sewing, pruning. I am not doing any of them though, I plugged in as soon as I woke up this morning.

I just found your blog. I was surfing the internet when I should have been cleaning my own house. I enjoyed my read your lovely place. I’ll be back.
