Feeling overwhelmed. Taking a few days off to baby myself. This is the first Monday I haven’t written a post in 7 1/2 years. Yeesh!
I invite all my readers to practice being kind to yourselves. Cheers!

well… technically you have posted… just a different sort of post. and that is fine!
Okay, Well, I wasn’t going to actually be able to let myself off without even a photo. Or a word or two to explain my absence. Thanks, Daryl.
What a wonderful baby picture! Such an expressive face. The photo looks too modern to be of you, but I hope it is actually you because it makes your blog post even more meaningful.
OMG, STEPHEN. FIRST OF ALL, WELCOME TO MY ONLINE HOME AND THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. WHAT A SURPRISE! YOU ARE RIGHT – THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO USE A PHOTO OF MY BABY SELF. I AM EMBARRASSED TO HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IT WAS NOT ME. IT WASN’T EVEN HUMAN. DOLL. BABY DOLL. A RECENT GIFT FROM A FRIEND, ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU ADMIRE SOMETHING AND SUDDENLY IT IS BEING GIVEN TO YOU. DAYS AFTER I TOOK IT HOME I DRESSED IT IN MY KIDS’ OLD BABY CLOTHES. WHY NOT, I THOUGHT, I CERTAINLY WASN’T GONNA HAVE GRANDCHILDREN TO DRESS ANY TIME SOON. AND THEN I SIMPLY HAD TO PHOTOGRAPH IT. IT LOOKS SO REAL PROPPED UP IN THE ROCKER IN MY LIVING ROOM. I HOPE MAYBE THAT MAKES IT A BIT MEANINGFUL FOR YOU. THANKS FOR LIKING IT.
Enjoy your deserved break, Robin!
Cheers, Lynne. I did. A lot.
So proud of you for taking care of yourself! Its sometimes tough to put yourself first…but you have to!
Enjoy your time for you!
It was a good thing I did that, Mary Kay. Turns out I really needed that. Cheers!
