overachieving
Akismet seems to be in an overachieving mode and catching many of my regular comments in the spam filter. This means your comments aren’t showing up here and I’m not getting little emails of blog-lurve until I go through the spam que and de-spam the comments that are erroneously caught.
Now either a bunch of you are out trolling wordpress blogs and getting nasty wing-nutters to mark your comments as spam thereby "teaching" Akismet that you are baaaaaad commenter… OR there’s something funky going on with my set up. I’ve tried a couple of things. I’ll try some more things. Thanks for your patience while this gets straightened out.
And I PROMISE not to over-react and engage in self-destructive behavior because I begin to think "Woe is me! No one cares anymore because I get no comments"…at least until after I’ve checked the spam file.
Now that the technology apology is done it’s time for my favorite type of blog post: The Random! ("Let’s do the Ran-dom agai-ain!" Come on! Sing along!)
- Bumped into CR and kids at the vet today while picking up Libby’s allergy meds. Yes. My dog has more daily pills than I do. Maybe that’s a good thing.
- I was supposed to have a follow-up appointment with my practitioner today but she had to reschedule. I had the labs drawn anyway. Just a CBC but she had two tubes, so I asked. "Oh, she ordered a blood smear to go to a blood pathologist too." What in the world is she looking for??? Now, whenever I slow down that runs through my head. Luckily there isn’t a lot of slowing down on the list for this weekend.
- SrK&J are in Mexico by now. I still haven’t bought my headset so that I can talk with her on Skype.
- I got all kinds of things done today while working at home. Most of them were even work related!
- The boys are with X this weekend and I really really really need to finish painting. I hope I can pull together the energy to do it tomorrow.
- Sunday I’ll be meeting with JMC after church. She’s in a bind in that now that she’s graduated from seminary she has to be out of campus housing on the 31st but doesn’t have a call yet. It will be a few weeks before she’s able to move to Holden or ARC (another retreat center) to wait it out and in the meantime was hoping to stay here. Which is all fine and dandy except I’m barely going to be ready for Sr. BP to move in on Sept 2 (into YM’s old room). I don’t know if I can get two rooms ready. And then there’s the little voice in my head that is screaming "Your house is going to start looking like a convent if you do that! You’ll never have a relationship with the house full of renters." (yeah. that would be the neurotic part of my brain yelling that stuff, right?)
- The house seems particularly empty tonight and I feel particularly alone. Maybe because it’s after a really busy couple of weeks and I’m tired. Maybe with a little chaser of hormones to go with that.

well at least there is an explanation for lost comments, not like some other nameless blog where comments are deleted if they don’t agree with you….you still subscribe to the freedoms of speech and thought
getting things done, even work things, is always good….you do go to sleep feeling accomplished

Yes, I have been commenting and it hasn’t been showing up. It totally kicks me off of the comment page and goes back to the post I wanted to comment on. Hopefully, this comment will go through.
When does school start for the boys?

I am SO tempted to write something totally inappropriate here and see if it shows up or not. But I just. can’t. do it.

evil-e — I have deleted comments before but they were clearly trolls and weren’t on topic and were inflamatory. And just plain rude. Generally I like to have a free exchange of ideas though.
abbagirl - I’ve taken off all the sign-in stuff. Hopefully now it will work for you! Of course, now I kind of hope the spam filter works the way it should! No one should have to read some of those spam comments!
Rich - Yes. You’re just too good. Oh well! you are who you are!

I hate it when I get served up some loneliness with a side of hormones. lately, I’ve been craving my alone time, but that isn’t always the case.
