To Blog or Not To Blog, Is This Even a Question

This post is about whether I should write this post or not.  After a week of the HamsterBlog revivus, I find myself wondering if I need to post something every day, so I (quite cleverly, if I do say) decided to post about whether to post.  Practice, naturally, varies across the land of Blogonia.  My most immediate peer, AH, is most disciplined in this regard and just the other day mentioned that he hasn't missed a day of blogging since the year they invented salt, or some such.  He is much more disciplined than I am about such things (though let me at some feeble azaleas and I can run rings around him--see post for 10 June 2020).  Others post regularly but not necessarily on a daily basis.  Given my obsessive/compulsive and passion for order and regularity, that seems just too insouciant.  So I have the feeling I'm going to shoot for daily posts, and that having been said, the dread of self-reproach if I don't post every day should be sufficient motivation (it helps to be Slovak).

Not wishing to leave y'all with just the above musing, here is a cool optical gif from http://automatagraphics.tumblr.com/.  I love these things.

  1. You should post daily, so we know you are still alive, to prove your daily existence, to document your struggle and joys.

  2. Agreed, daily is best. I may not be able to comment daily, but will surely catch up every few nights during those hours sleep escapes me, like now.

    And if you keep it up I will of course feel compelled to join back in... As soon as I finish this class I am taking. I'm not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to start a class, online, about teaching online, following 3 months of "emergency distance learning."

    I have one week left, and have started the the garden therapy. WC is most excited about the planned projects, as you can imagine.
