I keep telling myself I am going to get back to blogging and adding more content to my website, even if it doesn’t show up on the main page. (A while back I turned it into my portfolio site but the history and NASCAR and wrestling sites – as well as this blog – still remain.)
With the situation with my Dad I really didn’t feel like writing because what was there to really tell? But maybe I need to use this blog as a platform to write about some of the more positive things in my life.
For example, I recently published a story on the King’s University College website about 77-year-old Darlene Walker who went back to school and has completed her Sociology degree. King’s Herald magazine, a project spearheaded by my friend Jennifer Jones, was also published by the King’s Alumni department. You can check it out on Issuu. I am happy to say I contributed some content including an article on the Renee Soulodre-La France Excellence in Research Award (Early Career) on page 6.
Ironically, I need to follow up with something not so positive. I fell ill for a couple of days in the middle of week. When I was setting up to leave on Thursday, I was still feeling pretty rough and wasn’t sure if I was going to make it in on Friday (today). So I got our weekly newsletter scheduled and another web story set up to post for Friday. As I left, I thought “I’m got all this done in case I’m not feeling well and I’m going to end up feeling okay.” And, sure enough, I woke up this morning and felt fine.
Last weekend, I started watching the third season of Shoresy. Without spoiling anything, I got caught up to the final episode that had been posted (to that point) and that episode ended on a major cliffhanger so I will definitely be seeing what’s been posted this weekend. Meanwhile, I have been watching That 70s Show, having got the complete series on Amazon a little while ago.
In between watching a few more episodes of that and Shoresy (not to mention the NASCAR stuff from Iowa), I have a bunch of things I’d like to get crossed off my To Do list, including updating the Shelf Life website with excerpts from the June/July issue.
I am hoping that I can get back to making regular updates. I have it on my To Do calendar to update it on Friday nights. It may not be the most interesting thing you read on the internet but this might be more for my benefit than anyone else’s.
