Testing the waters

Here I am. I thought I would be so relieved to take a break from the blog, but instead I keep wondering about everybody and getting drawn into their blogs. I thought I would watch more TV, do more knitting, more sitting and being still, but no, I still spend the bulk of my free time in front of the computer.

And it has been raining since Saturday without stopping.

Spouse turns 40 Friday and I've already bought and given him his gift. (a leather jacket) I keep telling him that life begins at 40 to which he snorts in reply.

Tomorrow I'll be back to my usual predawn posting. I feel like I took a day off work and then worried about all the work that was piling up while I was gone. Not so relaxing after all, lol.

"Hello, I'm Torn and I blog."

"Welcome to our little support group, Torn. We're all friends here with the same problem."

[Some of us (read:me at least) were going into Torn-withdrawl, so we are happy you are back. I was actually casting spells to lure you away from profitable and relaxing activities and back to the pc so that you would blog again. :) ]

Spouse enjoyed his pre-birthday gift. He just can't wait to get the real present.
Glad your back I missed you this much.
Blogging is in your blood. Like me, I live to Blog and Blog to live. It's not really important and I can stop any time. Right. Any way welcome back to where you have always been, with your blogging friends who care.

Welcome back - and BOY can I identify with the taking the day off and worring about work - I did that Monday and had a miserable day... the days off sound so good when you schedule them, but when they happen... YUCK!

You've been blogging so consistently that when you don't, I imagine that it's your routine that's completely thrown off.

Life begins at 40???

Crap, I'm too impatient to wait another 8 years.

Blogger must be code for "Co-dependent".

Welcome back!

Keep knitting! I need a scarf! LOL....Nice to have you back.

Seriously, I've been teasing Madamerouge for months that he belongs to a "stitch 'n bitch" group of girls but the truth is I've been thinking about joining myself.

Heheheh, funny how this blog stuff gets to taking over your life, eh?

Glad to have you back though. I enjoy your postings...and I wouldn't want you to be stressed out over what was going on in your absense. :)

HUGS....

I need a winter club to join. That's what's missing -- but what?

Timmy said...

I knew you would miss me.

Welcome back!?

Read you tomorrow!?

Since I can look at 40 through my own rearview mirror, I feel qualified to say that while life in no way begins at 40, it certainly does not end there and can in fact improve and become more focused and enjoyable.

Plus it doesn't hurt that people are stunned when you tell them your actual age.

We knew that you be back. They always come back in the end.

I hear that 40s are the new 30s.

GayProf said...

Oops -- Sorry about the typo.

It was only 2 days, but I kept ckecking to see if you'd maybe posted a late afternoon entry.

Thank God, you're back. You threw my routine off. **wink**

I missed you.


I'm such a wuss.



But I missed you.

bob said...

tell the spouse that 40 is good, or at least it was 4 years ago. it certainly beats the alternative.

A-HA! He finally admits it's all a hoax!

Cian Brown said...

"sitting", "being still" & "watching TV" only give you a "relaxed" fat ass. And "knitting"...well, that's for those gurlie bois. ;)
Welcome back to gay techy universe!

You're a blogoholic. Admit it. I think we may need to stage an intervention for you.
