I've mentioned it in some of my posts, as I try frantically to catch up now that I am no longer doing daily challenges this month.<br /><br />I've yet to go through some of the blogs I found during the A to Z, and feel terrible thinking I may be categorized as one of those just hoping to gank a follower or two.<br /><br />I almost emailed you actually, curious about this topic and how you manage... then I was worried you were maybe noting I wasn't caught up with commenting on your blog and thus the cycle continued haha. You are are the first follower I had outside of people I knew IRL, I believe.<br /><br />Just so you know, I don't get upset or anything when people aren't able to comment. I understand (first hand) it isn't easy to always find the time to.<br /><br />Also, some prefer to comment, and I'd rather people comment only on posts they feel they really want to. Not just obligation. It's more meaningful that way :-)<br /><br />I'm sure once you find time you will be able to visit back and comment on those blogs you've been behind on. If people end up mad or the like, you can't really control that. Can't please everyone.<br /><br />I just try to do the best that I can and that sounds like pretty sound advice if I do say so myself.<br /><br />And... Uh... I did...<br /><br />Looks like I missed out on some sweet contests/submissions :( I have to bite the bullet and get on that fiction writing soon!<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a>Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-66281063947369655892013-06-08T18:34:17.880-06:002013-06-08T18:34:17.880-06:00*Taps fingers* "Where is that incredibly nic...*Taps fingers* "Where is that incredibly nice guy, Gary? I so love his award winning, treasured and highly collectable comments!" <br /><br />Hi Shannon, your wait is over. It's almost 1:30 A.M. on a Sunday morning and I've been commenting for several hours just trying to catch up. I do relate to what you're saying. How about that. Ah yes, the A to Z, the never ending blog fest. Reflections posts about reflections posts. Yes, a great way to accumulate followers, I mean, a great way to share positive interaction within the great blogging community. <br /><br />Seriously, don't worry yourself about the time situation. You have to realise your priorities and people will understand. I do feel that way at times, but you can only do so much.<br /><br />Yay for getting that sisters are doing it for themselves or whatever award from one of my most adoring of fans, the gorgeous and lovable, Tina. I hate awards! :) Please visit Tina. Please visit Gary.<br /><br />Contests, blog hops, blog fests, blog parties, blog book tours and IWSG aka, "I Was Seeking Gary".<br /><br />Arggggghhhhh!!! Thanks for the torture, Shannon. Of course, I still love you and I shall continue to support you guys with my satire, which ironically, actually promotes you.<br /><br />See, you don't get a vague comment from me. A long comment and now, because I'm in such a state of euphoria, I must go and dance in the knowledge that the A to Z continues to bring further awareness of the alphabet!<br /><br />May I find my muse, or something like that.<br /><br />Your starstruck fan,<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-24618484663805302172013-06-07T20:25:18.910-06:002013-06-07T20:25:18.910-06:00Bryan, I used to not sleep (insomnia since middle ...Bryan, I used to not sleep (insomnia since middle school), but now I fail to function well without enough sleep, and I've figured out how to conquer the insomnia at least somewhat.

That was my problem: April is conference month for me, plus the last month of contest, so I would have been legitimately busy on multiple front all on their own. Ugh.<br /><br />Catherine, thank you! I hope they do someone some good.<br /><br />Haha, Andrew, definitely feeling THAT pain!<br /><br />Mary, a break sounds magnificent. I hope you get one and can recharge.<br /><br />Sandy, I hope the crocheting helps you to relax your mind. There's a lot on it. Good luck with your job search!<br /><br />Sheena-kay, thank you, and thanks, also, for mentioning me on your blog!<br /><br />M.J., I like how you put that. Lovely.<br /><br />Marcy, wouldn't a few extra hours be divine?<br /><br />MK, hope you can use it!<br /><br />Rekha, thank you!<br /><br />L. Diane, it's rough to keep up. LOL at the bubble bath.

I think people understand.<br /><br />I set aside reading and tinkering around with writing for awhile because I have been busy with on line applications for work. That is a priority. That is on my mind, aging mother on my mind...eventually having to move on my mind, like where to without a job....so I went back to crochet so I could be busy and be alone with my thoughts!
