The Last Blogathon Post

July 26, 2009 By Michele 2 Comments

Well, you beautiful people… It’s 6am pacific. Also 6am for me. That means I’m done! I did it! I survived! 24 hours of blogging every half hour.

Pledging is still open for 48 hours. Please consider it! Fisher House is such a great cause, and helps military families at their most vulnerable.

There were a few touchy moments where I thought I was actually going to have to post about bulldozers. Don’t ask.

There is one thing that has really really bothered me. But I am incredibly vulnerable right now and on the verge of tears, because I’m at my physical limits. So I need to sleep on it to see if I really want to hash it out. We’ll see.

Thank you for putting up with so many posts from me.

And whatever you do, don’t call me. I’ll be sleeping.

The weird blankness

July 26, 2009 By Michele 2 Comments

So… for this post? I got nothing. I kept staring and staring at the blank page. Nothing clever. Nothing there. My brain is shutting down.

So, I finally decided that IS the post. The final one before the true last 6am one.

1/2 hour to go, and the blankness only came now? I know I had some touchy spots earlier, but that’s pretty darn good. 1/2 hour to go. 30 minutes and I’ll have made it to the end of the race.

The house is still quiet. No one’s up yet. God help me if the kids get up before Poe. 30 minutes and I’m home free.

I truly do apologize for this post. I just can’t think coherently anymore.

as i sit

I sit here thinking. Stayawakestayawakestayawake.

One thing I noticed was a lot of blogathoners actually writing about their causes. Commendable. Understandable. And, well, logical.

I couldn’t do that. To submerge myself in the stories, and the angst, and the hurt, and the issues, and the pain. We’re blogging for charities after all. If you dig in, there’s a lot of pain to be found. Because I know me, and my mental headspace – especially in the wee wee hours of the night, for me to have done that would have been detrimental to my mental health.

Instead I’ve posted odds and ends, weirds and thoughts, randoms and cutes.

But you know what? It worked. I’m still here posting away.

I found the original blogger!!

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.
