It’s been an unhappy week.
The worst of it was learning how much something I had posted earlier this month had upset someone I used to care for quite deeply. I now realize my thoughtlessness in violating this person’s privacy, even if I thought it was well-masked, and only one person who might read this blog would have any idea who he is. I was also made some mean-spirited remarks in subsequent comments. I am sorry for all of this. I fucked up. I’ve removed the post and am eating my remorse, but the damage is done. Hopefully, I will at least move a little closer to becoming a kinder person from all of this.
I’ve also realized I’ve been spending more time in Voxland than is healthy for me, and have decided to take a break for awhile (though probably won’t be able to resist reading neighborly updates and sincerely hope y’all don’t delete me from your ‘hoods out of inactivity, if you haven't already deleted me for my unkindness).
So, just to sign off for the time being on a positive note, at the risk of diluting the second paragraph, let it be known that I’m going to binge on the following comfort food. Consider this a substantial portion of my desert island disc list, with the raucous and celebratory stuff missing. I don’t deserve those right now.
