This really is a good opportunity to actually, oh, *write* again in shiny things

I've gotten very slack about writing on OD in the past few years. Which honestly was something I kind of appreciated while saving my eighty gazillion entries to Evernote-- the last couple of years went really FAST! But it was also kind of shocking to see how much I used to write back in my OD youth. I'd write nearly every day! As opposed to maybe once or twice a month in recent years. Nearly all of my entries this past year were England Travelogue ones. And it took me six months to finish that.

SO. I'm thinking this is a chance for a fresh start. I loved OD and I'll miss OD -- I've been there since 2001 - but maybe it's just time to move on. Especially since most of my OD friends have moved on with me, and here we all are exploring this shiny new world.

Noko said Prosebox seems to lend itself to short entries, and I think that's true. And that's maybe good too. I tend to go on and on and on.... and that's one big reason I've written so little recently. I wait until there's just so much to write about that I am overwhelmed and never get around to doing it. Maybe it's time to learn to be brief and concise and not babble on endlessly.

Tonight is a very good night to start my new brief(ish) entries, since my BFF Kim is coming up to visit tomorrow and I cleaned our horrible nasty dusty house today, which has resulted in the Allergy Attack From Hell, and I (A) can't stop sneezing, and (B) can't see what I'm doing because my eyes have become two swollen angry slits.

I'll sign off with a picture out the front door yesterday. Winter. Ewwww. And yes, I DO still have our ... lights up. They are not Christmas lights. They are winter lights. And they are damned well staying up till, oh, April. Or whenever winter finally goes the hell away. (also, they are not actually outside in the trees. They are reflecting moodily in the window)
