So.... Um....

 I thought I'd written a post for last week, but it was (possibly over) two weeks ago! Whoops. That's what a nice vacation will get you.

We went away last work, for a second honeymoon. We've been married for 25 years, and together for 29. It's quite a milestone, and we decided a celebration was in order. It was in more ways than one, if I'm honest. 

So, 25 years of marriage, as I mentioned, 4 additional years of being together. 7 separate residences, 10+ jobs for me, 1 job for my husband. Two kids, some losses, and some gains. You know, all the stuff you sign up for with your vows. 

Full disclosure, our first honeymoon was 3 days long and during an off-season in a very pretty area. Our second honeymoon was a full week long, and in a beautiful place in-season.

It was wonderful. Such a good break from regular life, sleeping in as much as we wanted, doing what seemed like a good way to spend a day...just everything we wanted it to be. 

I'm glad we can get out and do things like this, to be honest. Things were close to me not making our 20th anniversary, so I'm glad we were able to do it up big for our silver. 

It's so nice when you can finally get a good vacation. It's been a really long time since we've been away for that long on our own. We're not millionaires, I mean obviously. I can't have anywhere near even $5k with this whole disabled thing. It was nice to be tourists and do things like go to museums and restaurants, and on hikes, and not answer calls from work about things.

I just realized it was a damn long time before this that I ever had a relaxing, lazy vacation. Glad the trip worked for us!

I figure I can just write about anything I want today

It's a little disheartening, I have to admit, to see very little traffic on this blog. I thought about not writing this week, but decided since I was searching for a topic anyway, maybe I'd cover my disappointment instead.

Of course, this is in no way meant to inspire guilt in anyone. Really, if you're reading it, that means you're helping to fix the issue, and I appreciate that. It's just kind of difficult to write all of this out for so much of the past 2 years or so, but not really see much interaction.

I think we all do things for which we don't receive much attention, like when you make the best pizza you've ever made, and things are so busy, all anyone can do is Hoover it up and run out the door to the next thing on their list. Or when you write a really amazing essay for a class, and you get a "not bad--80%" written on it. Maybe even when you work on a huge project for your job, but then you just get some tepid applause and no questions at the end of your presentation. 

See? Mildly infuriating. Not bad enough to get angry at, but not good enough to be happy about, either.

So, that's kind of what I feel here. Originally I was hoping to have people occasionally ask questions that could get me writing on topics that might be of help to them. This hasn't happened much, if at all, and I'm not sure it ever will.

However, that doesn't mean I'll give up, either. I've found with this injury that I can make myself do just about anything, and have it work out. Even if it doesn't work out how I planned. these things usually improve my life to an extent. When I get to the end of the slog through all of the work it takes, I come out better for it. 

Hence, I plan on continuing. Entries may not always be as awesome as I'd hoped, but they will still be interesting, maybe. They might not be as long as they may have been previously, but they will still exist.

If you're still reading, I thank you, and encourage you to keep reading. Maybe, if you can, think of one person to mention it to, and maybe they'll read it at some point as well.

I'm just going to keep on writing.
