The past month or so I really have felt like a zoo animal pacing my cage. I wouldn't say I was bored, I just hit a slump. It took a lot of energy to maintain my everyday responsibilities and what I had left went to not losing my mind or neglecting my relationship with my husband. So what did get neglected was... kinda everything else, including my presence online. Hence my absence here. Which has been a shame, because I really like being active on here.
Things are turning around though. I'm refocusing, getting my energy back. I've dealt with this sort of tumble into a hole for years. This has been a much longer one than usual as the world is very stressful rn, but feeling like I'm spinning my wheels isn't new to me. So when I start to climb my way back up I at least know where my footholds are. I know Sir is always there to help pull me up, or just be there for me to lean on, its what we do for each other, and it's why if nothing else I wouldn't let that part of my life falter.
Now I'm done pacing my cage and I'm ready to escape and start.... chasing some zookeepers? Read that as you will, the metaphor falls apart here.
I guess my point, if there is one in this rambling explanation is this.
Life's not easy, and the worlds a mess, but here we are, reaching out into the void and doing what we can. Even if sometimes all we can is a blog post saying I'm keeping my head up and I hope you are too.
