I’ve notices recently, that blogging seems to have a cycle.

Step 1: Decide to write on the intarwebs

Step 2: Work at spreading the word of your genius [commenting everywhere and joining groups]

Step 3: Get a huge following and panic by any of the following methods:

1. delete entire blog or just archive
2. move somewhere else and start again at Step 1
3. change your entire format/style to cater to what you think your fan base wants instead of being true to yourself [that being the reason they’re all there in the first place seems to get lost in the shuffle]
4. only post once a month until readership dies down
5. post the most vague and boring information because you no longer feel comfortable sharing so much

Step 4: Leave the whole community/intarweb because you need to focus on ‘real’ life [i.e. family or work]

Step 5: Repeat

I’m not a blogger though so what do I know.

I found a keyboard I like, it should be here tomorrow. It is the Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard. I’m not sure about the zoom lever on the left side but I’m sure I’ll find a way of disabling it if I need to, I own a hammer.

I’ve been reading my cookbooks today to find recipes for BlanketGirl. She has IC and can only eat four foods so I’m hoping the British/vegetarian diet I enjoy might have a few other options for her. I love reading cookbooks. It is quite handy to have a reason to read them cover to cover in case I see something I want to try.

Lovely cleaning people came again today. They have cleaned all sorts and I love going around my house after they’ve been. We’ve decided to try it monthly because they’ve done such a good job and I need to keep some cleaning to do myself so I don’t become completely useless.

I keep typing things and they’re all extraordinary mundane so I think I might just stop here.
