Following on from that oh-so-cringesome theme of my last post, I have a wee confession
to make today – I didn’t remember that I’d actually written it until I came on
here this morning! That’s sounds really
bad, doesn’t it? Hear me out: I’ve been insanely busy at work this past while;
long gone are the days were the weekends were for anything other than sleeping for
15 hours at a time, with beer being replaced by copious amounts of tea and
books. It’s not exactly rock’n’roll, but that’s how I like it. (I’m an auld
woman now, you know.)
It’s not that I was ever the biggest drinker in the world,
but these days I can really see where that old cliché about getting drunk at
the smell of alcohol comes from. I’m totally and utterly useless! So you can
imagine what I was like last Saturday when I went on my friend’s hen night, of
all things. I knew I was out of practice, as they say, so I was pacing myself
and trying my best to take it easy. In fact, if you had asked me at the end of
the night I would’ve told you I was totally sober , it wasn’t until the next morning
that I realised I’d been away with the fairies! And then to come on here today
with the intention of making my first post in months, only for the cold
realisation to hit me that I’d been on that night… Well, let’s just say it was
unsettling. I completely remember writing it now (I wasn’t that bad), but
still. I suppose it could’ve been worse, I could’ve done one of those soppy ‘I
love you guys’ posts like I’ve been guilty of in the past.
Anyway, I’m not quite sure why I’m even drawing attention to
it since I’m a tad embarrassed by the whole thing and should really just let it
pass and hope no one noticed. I think it’s a compulsion of mine to point out
things that I really should try to cover up. I also wanted to explain why I’d
wasted both yours and my own time with yet another one of those whiney ‘I’m
sorry I’ve not posted anything in ages’ tirades, put it behind me, and resume
with regular ‘normal’ blogging. I’ve a post lined up for this afternoon and
everything!
By the way, the image I’ve used with this post (and the last
couple) is a page from my digital art journal, which I’ve not been updating as
much as I’d like but which I’ve not totally abandoned. I’d just thought I’d
point that out because it’s the type of thing I used to blog about before I got
in the habit of making these pointless posts. This is the last of them,
promise. Expect a return to the randomness of old, whether it’s some silliness that’s
been on my mind or some loveliness I’ve encountered online.
