Extending my leave

I said in my last published post that I would be taking a break until March, or April, at the latest. Seeing as how it's now July, I was obviously a bit off on that prediction. Being fair to myself though, I have been trying off and on since March or April to get at least one blog post of some sort finished. That hasn't worked out so well thus far. My heart just isn't it. So, with that in mind, I'm just gonna stop trying.

I had hoped to do separate posts (covering different things) for the two blogs of mine that are looked at the most, but again, it's just not working. Not knowing anymore who reads what, I'm gonna save myself the grief and post this on both.

My interest in a lot of things is way down and has been that way for most of the year. I've been in the process of selling all, or parts of, my various collections for years now, and it seems like I'm adding to the "To Sell" pile on an almost daily basis. I keep wondering how it is that I acquired all of this stuff. I also keep wondering if I'm gonna be able to live long enough to sell it all. At this point, it doesn't seem like I will.

For those that are wondering, I'm not getting rid of everything (especially my books), and am still collecting. I do seem to have moved more into the "quality over quantity" mindset though; which, given my budget, means that acquisitions have slowed considerably. This is a good thing.

As for life in general, various sucky health things continue to dominate my daily doings. I'm still limited to an hour or less of computering most days (I do push it sometimes though, and then usually end up paying for it). This time is spent basically only doing two different things, genealogical research (which has officially become an obsession for me), and Ebay stuff of the selling variety (I've come to loathe that site and good percentage of its users). And free time at night is usually spent reading, preparing things for sell, or packaging up sold items.

I'm leaning heavily towards being done with blogging. There is however still a slim part of me that would like to continue, so I won't say that I'm completely done quite yet, but as the title implies, I am gonna be away for a bit longer; probably the rest of the year. I'm hoping that by January or so I'll know whether I want keep blogging or not, as I don't want to extend this maybe/maybe not too much longer. If I still have any desire to do so by then, I'll try and fire everything back up. If not, I'll come back and say my goodbyes. So, until then...
