Blogging is in Retrograde

I must have a half dozen posts in my head but do you think I can be bothered writing them?
If you look at my previous comments Mark and Peter have the same thing. Is it Fridayitis? I thought Mondayitis was a problem? Fridays are supposed to be great. No-one is supposed to get stuck on Fridays. It's just not allowed.
A few weeks ago I got stuck on a Friday. Someone had told me that everyone was struggling because Mercury was in retrograde. How long does Mercury stay in retrograde? Can I just use it as my excuse of choice for as long as I like?
I had a whale of a time telling one of my girlfriends about it. She reckoned Mercury was a fantastic explain all but maybe something else is in retrograde now?
Does anyone have any other likely or unlikely explanations for a general downturn in the blogging world? Well, my blogging world anyway and my blogging world is what counts, right?
Maybe it's just caffeine deficiency? It must be at least, oh, three hours since I had a coffee. Yep, that could be it.
Pete, Mark: How about a java?

    I think it's definitely something to do with not enough coffee. Or fruit tea, which is what I'd like right now. Might go make one. I can't be bothered to write a post. Might post a photo though.
    Take care,
    shame we missed each other,

  3. G'day Kylie,

    I'll have a mocha thanks. This blogging caper seems to to take up too much of my time. However I do feel the need to communicate via this medium. I have tried not to become too compulsive and I guess that's partly the reason that i haven't posted for a few days at a time. It could also be said that my life is rather uneventful. I too have a lot of half- finished posts cluttering up my subconscious and occasionally they manage to intrude into my conscious thought processes.
    The other thing that prevents me from posting is a feeling of ineptitude. It is all rather trivial. Who'd be interested??
    Thank goodness that for the last couple of my posts i have been able to REPORT about events rather than WRITE about stuff that's inside my head.

    Anyway i hope that you had a good week and that your weekend is even better.
    Cheers,
    Mark.

  4. Kylie,
    Did you notice that my comment is dated, Saturday? Perhaps there is such a thing as Fridayitis :)

  5. pj,
    why have tea when there's coffee?
    and how come young people these days don't drink tea and coffee?
    what kind of fruit tea do you like?
    glad you were here, you can't be too much in the doldrums :)

  7. mark,
    amazing isnt it?
    i've actually answered all my comments and in order!
    mocha it is, good choice :)
    i got sooo compulsive about blogging for a bit but i think i've settled a bit. it takes too much time but i dont really watch tv anymore and at least this is not so passive.
    um, dont want to be rude but i'd be happy for you to write whats in your head. show us who mark is.
    inept? trivial?
    come on mark, most people dont lead lives of excitement and drama.
    we're your mates, you can just blather on.
    have a great day
    (you're past fridayitis, so it should be all good now)

  8. I'm sick and that is my excuse. I think the new job stress has finally gone to my head and is now slowly trickling down to settle into my chest. I talked to Suze on the phone for a few hours tonight and she became concerned about my coughing. And here it is 11 o clock Friday night, I think it's about 3 am Sunday morning your time. I'm so tired I can barely focus, and my kids are asking for hotdogs. I waste entirely too much time on blogger. I have been trying to pace myself, but then I get so far behind. I just can't keep up with everyone. So, I apologize when I don't get here for a few days, it's not because I don't care! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, what's left of it anyway.

  9. cecile,
    it was probably about 3pm saturday arvo when you wrote, just so you know.
    sick isn't an excuse, it's a reason my dear. if it's flu season and youre stressed in a new job it's gonna take a toll. take care of yourself and dont feel obliged to post or comment....we're not going anywhere.
    enjoy the weekend
