RE: Back after a break.....
Jesus, it's been 27 days since I was on here at least. Yes, longer. I do apologise and I feel it's odd that when I stopped posting Steem went up in value like mad, but I just feel that I have nothing to say or add to Steemit, which is a difficult thing to deal with, but I'll get there. I have started so many posts and deleted them, but enough of that dwelling and onwards into a more creative space, hopefully.
In buxton right now and the snow is falling and coincidentally, we both have very similar colour schemes on our landscapes. My flat is so cold, as it's in a building that's over 200 years old. Has mad cracks everywhere and the staircases sink into the centre, but somehow it stays standing. But, it's a roof over my head and it could be a lot worse. It's such a nice building, but has fallen into neglect since the (ironically) Property Management company got hold of it.
I should be going to Spain again as soon as I get a call and can book the flights. I can't wait to get out there again. So nice to be able to just relax and not think about the crappiness here. Christmas wasn't too ace, because went shopping with the daughter a day before Christmas Eve and caught some weird bug and was rough for over a week, but I looked after myself and there's folk who have been bad for weeks. It annoyed me, because I sort of just try to stay in and away from people as much as possible in winter. In fact, if people call me, I ask them if they have a cold, before they come round :). A bit extreme, but I'd rather people think I'm strange than know I'm ill.
I'm not a Christmas person, to be honest, but appreciate the family part of it.
I hope you've been well and the Christmas period was a happy and pleasant one. I have only just come on here, so will check out your posts :).
Take care and have fun @brisby :).
Hi gwb235! How are things? I hope that you've finally kicked whatever bug that you caught! Hopefully this finds you back in Spain and enjoying yourself! Life has been crazy these last two months (everything and it's brother sort of hit at once and now I'm working a bit extra and playing catch up with my bills so my Steemit account hasn't been getting the attention to it that it should). Oh well, shit happens and all that, right? (Honestly, I'm lucky to find something since there are so many that would like to be able to have one job.)
You have your own ideas and standards as to what you want to bring to Steemit but may I tell you my point of view? I enjoyed seeing your balloon sculptures and the stories that you'd tell using them. Being able to give people a laugh and see something as whimsical as your sculptures was something positive that you brought here. When you wanted to talk about more serious things, your views on politics and bots and what not, you brought up points that were important to you. There are many here with so many different views and it's good to have a mix, since even if we don't all agree it's good to see things from different sides. When you have time to come back, you could carry on with those posts or choose to do something different. We all are changing constantly so why not have fun and try something new if you want to (like you are with your planned move to Spain and having a life that will make you happier).
As to your flat, it isn't good at all that it's so cold! Property managers are supposed to improve things, not let things fall further into disrepair. (Yeah, I realize that fixing things costs plenty of moola but still...)
Have some fun yourself and take care @gwb235! I do miss chatting with you and hope to be able to again soon. :)
