No Time Like The Present. . .

I have decided that there is no time like the present to start to getting back into blogging.

I have been holding off and holding back for too long. . . but now is the time.

I have had a REALLY bad week. And when I say BAD . . . I mean REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD!!!

It has been a calamity of bad situations and Murphy's law running amok. And just when you think its over and it cant possibly get worse or more chaotic. You wake up on Saturday morning, to drag yourself to work to catch up on admin after a really chaotic work week, and on the way to work your car starts pouring steam/smoke in through the air vents. [thankfully I was only 5 minutes from the office] So I slowly limped my poor car into the parking lot, frustrated, tired and [being a girl, who's period decided this was a good day to start] tearful. It was the breaking point after a long week and possibly the worst timing EVER.

It is a week before pay day. So money for Uber or to give people for petrol etc or to pay for car repairs is not really flush. It is a week where 2 of my handful of friends are out of town and cant help with lifts. It is a week where another friend cant help with lifts as she has a broken arm. It is a week where I have a training course to attend that is 45 minutes outside of Durban. It is a Saturday, so most mechanics are closed. It is a Saturday where I need to be catching up on work, not expending my energy and emotions in trying to find someone to take my car too. I did find someone, but even though I could drop my car off, they aren't even going to look at it till Monday.  Bad timing all around. [There is so much more to the story but considering I have already told you that I got my period ... I think that might be enough overshare for one blog]

So as I said Murphy has been running amok. It's like he is on steroids at the moment. But it made me realise.  You can not wait for the right timing. It wont happen. It WILL NOT happen. In fact, the opposite will happen.

I have held back on blogging and writing for so long. Life has been crap and I keep waiting for it to get better so I can find something funny or positive to write about. It is not happening. I keep waiting for it to get better so I can be in a better frame of mind to write or to find inspiration or motivation ... it is not going to happen. I keep waiting for life to get better so that I am not so exhausted and have the energy to write.... it is not going to happen.

So I have decided that whether they are positive or not. Whether it is convenient for me or not. Whether it is humorous or not.  I cant keep waiting to get back into writing or it will never happen. . . so there is no time like the present. . . .I am back. My blogs are back . . . they are possibly going to be more raw, more honest and potentially offensive. . . but will still hopefully be littered with some humour as well.

Till the next edition . . . may Murphy leave you alone and life treat you graciously.
