Day Three 2/21/11 11:03 am

Okay it has now been two whole days since I dropped my FB addiction.   A beautiful snowy President's Day.   We woke up to 6 inches of powdery fluff which has covered over the ugliness and mud which was exposed after the melt of the last huge storm.   A season of being house bound - ice and snow - Vitamin D deficiency - the month of my birth - Seasonal Affective Disorder.   Why would I choose to purposely cut myself off from friends and family - some as far away as Moscow - at this gloomy, lonely time of year?    I don't completely know....maybe that is why this blog.    Because you could say, "What a hypocrite.  You dropped FB just to take up blogging?"    That's it exactly - except not really - I did not go on the computer but once yesterday and I spent the entire day out of doors skiing.   On Sat when I officially "de-activiated" my account and they make you do all the security checks to do so (also reminding you that you can re-activate at any time and pick up where you left off) - I admit to being drawn to the computer and logging on several times - but that magic FB portal was no longer there and I could not enter!   My time on the computer was shorter more limited - the compulsion less strong - the need to see my sister-in-law's posts (tho I love hear dearly) about her cooking all gone!

I spent a good part of the day cleaning up and putting away supplies in my basement studio which I am reclaiming after 5 years - and I sat playing with things not really with any direction or thought.
