life happens

i am one of those people who never misses a deadline, rarely forgets an appointment, and dislikes being late. it’s not a badge of honor or any kind of statement, i simply don’t like the feeling of running behind or things hanging over me.  i remember once bringing my son into the school office to sign him in after an early morning doctor appointment. as the secretary was in the system to update joseph’s status from absent to tardy, she commented “my goodness, he’s never had an absence!”. Nope,  I replied. She stopped typing, looked up at me and asked in all sincerity “But doesn’t life just happen sometimes?”.

yesterday, life just happened.  i had a 10 AM artist date with my friend Martha that ran longish, and then a 3 PM catch-up with an old friend that went to 10 PM.  when i got home at 11 PM, i fell into bed. and never even thought about posting STILL. yup, every day for 10 years and i still occasionally forget :-) . luckily, i did have an image, already made. all i forgot was the posting part. but, it is still march 25th, so i fortunately (for me, i know you don’t really care) i haven’t technically broken the chain.
