Why Do I Bother?

I’ve devoted a lot of space on my [tag]blog[/tag] lately to anything but blogging. Not that I’m not still concerned about [tag]traffic[/tag], or my renters, or [tag]Wordpress[/tag] updates, but there are more important things going on that I seem to be avoiding. Like what?

Like the [tag]house[/tag] for example. Did you know that it has been [tag]raining[/tag] here for 40 days and 40 nights and if I had an Ark I could float it down the [tag]creek[/tag] running through our backyard? The ground has been so saturated that the banks of the creek are collapsing. This spring I have to dig up my entire yard and install a [tag]drainage system[/tag] that drains into the creek, then I have to rebuild the creek bed with concrete and wood. Then I have to remove some trees and replant the [tag]lawn[/tag].

I also haven’t told you about my [tag]job[/tag] lately. Did you know that I didn’t get a job that I interviewed for a while back? Did you know that I have interviewed for another job since then and I have another interview next wednesday? The first [tag]interview[/tag] was for a [tag]parole[/tag]/[tag]probation[/tag] officer with [tag]Marion County[/tag], the second was for a parole/probation assistant, and the third is for a unit coordinator here at [tag]MacLaren[/tag].

I haven’t told you about my [tag]brother[/tag] being selected for the lead role in a local [tag]film[/tag]. He’s a very talented [tag]actor[/tag] and I’m pretty excited for him. You can read all about his new role on his blog. He’s also the one who gave me the great new header for this site. Thanks, Chris.

I haven’t told you that Mel and I have been going to the [tag]gym[/tag] every week. I could be doing better, but on the other hand I am doing better. As much as I love the feeling of being [tag]healthy[/tag], I hate going to the [tag]gym[/tag]. It makes me grumpy. But the [tag]I-pod[/tag] Mel bought me for Christmas, and the headphones she got me for my birthday make it much more enjoyable. It’s also a good way for us to spend time together.

Did I also tell you that I’m overusing my [tag]technorati[/tag] powers?

… Phew … I feel better now.
