Just Fine and Dandy, but Who Has Time To Be Sick?: Wednesday, May 5, 2010
I haven’t written for the blog much this past month and some folks have been writing asking “why” and if everything is alright. So the short answer to that question is “yes”, everything is fine and dandy.
Now here’s a longer version of fine and dandy:
My last post was April 24th and since then a lot has happened and even a few things have changed. One of the more interesting items that’s been accomplished is that we did our last radio show on April 27th!
I written before about the reasons why we were going to stop broadcasting … but now it’s done. I’ve packed up the studio equipment, everything from cords and mixing boards to microphones and music, and along with all the other equipment that goes with standard broadcasting, boxed it up and prepared it to move to the StreamingOldies studio over in New Hampshire! Now that’s exciting and I’ll be posting more about that over the next few weeks.
What it does for me, is buy more time to work on finishing up some of my current projects, and more time for things like writing for this blog. I simple never realized, just how busy our lives were until I wanted to begin disassembling some of it. It’s been a challenge just finding the time to slow things down enough to begin the process of closing some activities down. I don’t like to simply walk away from things … I like to take them to the end and if I can, pass them on to someone that wants them, and that’s exactly what we’ve tried to do.
More time? Yes, I’d like to do a little traveling (which is another post on it’s own), and have some free time to work on some cancer related projects I’ve been thinking about. No, I’m not going away, I’m simply changing the things I’m involved in, and refocusing my energy on what’s of the utmost importance to me now. Life has changed. You might say I’m altering the matrix.
Even at home, I’m rebuilding our network for easier maintenance, adding new Windows 7 computers, network printers, wireless devices and so on … all in preparation of these changes that are coming.
Which brings me to an interesting point. One of the most difficult things about having and living with cancer, or any disability for that matter, and something you don’t hear about very often is the “time factor”. I know, I’m certainly not the only busy person on the planet, but I was (and still am), a very active type person … but scheduling time, for a cancer patient, can be, not only one of the most daunting tasks, but it also brings a factor of undependability.
