If you read my last post, Decluttering the Clutter – Stage 1, you’ll know what I’ve been involved with recently.

Yesterday, I was just so ridiculously run off my feet that I barely had time to read any of my blogging buddies’ posts, so I’m way, way behind. I think I only managed to comment on one post. My world is distracting me immensely, which I’m finding extremely frustrating. I’m rarely so busy that I hardly have time to think, let alone read anything. I have an excellent book called The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak on loan from the library, and I haven’t even had time to get past the introduction.

This morning, just to cap it all, my email account has crashed! Just what I need! This means I’m not getting any notifications of new posts. However, I do know that when I last looked (yesterday evening), I had the sum total of 47 emails sitting there, all screaming out for attention. I’m getting some blogs through the WordPress Reader, but there are just too many to catch up with. I’d intended to deal with them all today, but it’s obviously not to be.

I don’t know when my email account will be up and running again, so please bear with me if I seem not to notice your posts. I doubt I’ll catch up with all of them even once Yahoo has sorted out the problem. I’m unsure if it’s all of Yahoo or just my account that’s malfunctioning. I have a more than a sneaking suspicion that it’s me who’s malfunctioning!

So … to all my lovely readers, friends and blogging buddies, you may notice I’m not present on your blog for the time being, but rest assured, I will be back before too long. Happy blogging in the meantime.
