I really would like to blog daily. But I do not. And this is why. Because by the time I get home in the evening, my brain is used up and often, I cannot think clearly or creatively. So although I have some ideas, I cannot express them as I would like to do.
And get this. I was able to blog almost every night of my recent vacation, because we had quiet down time and I was able to think. So, I have a blog for every day of my 9 day vacation, and a pre-trip blog on packing. And yet, it is five full days since I have been home, and have only entered blogs for the pre-trip and the first three days. The other blogs have been written in word, but require editing and sometimes I am even too tired to do that well.
And, as it is, I have had to go back and edit some of those blogs more than once. I am not physically tired, but I am mentally tired. So, I can do some easy work puzzles, play Solitaire, or mindless fictional reading, but even non-fiction is more than I can usually handle after work. That is why watching sports is so good: it takes no concentration, I do not have to follow a plot line, and there is at least one announcer if not more than one to repeat what has happened two or three times, in case I missed it the first time!
