Jody’s Blog . . . a life after chronic fatigue syndrome

Saturday, September 12, 2009

September 3rd marked Ncubator’s 4 month milestone. And then I had a crash.

We chronics use this word to indicate an ugly relapse into old symptoms, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few weeks … to months … to years … depending on the crash.

You never know till you come out of one, what severity or length of recovery time you’re looking at.

I guess I would term this one a bounce, rather than a crash. Symptoms will lift considerably for awhile, say a few hours, and then descend to crush once again.

The upswings are lasting longer. I have cut way back on activity for now, even my beloved writing.

Live to rise up another day.

 Happy Birthday, Ncubator.

You are three months old today.

What alot of change has come about in only three months! I don’t recognize my life. And I am … glad of it.

 Happy Canada Day, all.

Or for the old-time purists like myself, Happy Dominion Day.

I am celebrating by starting a real blog. I had my website before I was able to get a real blog going, so had a journal of sorts for the last couple of months. But this is way cool, I must say.

Don’t know much yet about how to run it but that’s how everything starts, right?

I will probably drag my April, May and June journal entries on here once I have gotten to know my way around a bit.

I had a couple of requests for a spot for Comments (like you have on a Real Blog:-) so, if anybody has anything they want to say — I am ready. And if you have Real Blog advice for a newbie like me, PLEASE let me know.

I haven’t added any new articles to Ncubator in about a week. Usually I have about 4 articles a week posted, just hit a dry spell for a bit.

Having a new Real Blog to play with helps to rekindle the tired spark.

It has been many years since I have written for my own website, Ncubator. I never expected to do it again, frankly.

That is, until a few days ago, when I was thinking about starting a blog or a website, so I could get serious about writing once more. 

And I thought, if the domain name is available, why couldn’t I get it and use it again?

And even if .com isn’t available, I could be happy with .ca or .net or … hmmmm … 

So here I am. Alan is invisibly keeping this show on the road as I know nothin’ about building websites and … I don’t even know enough about this stuff to be able to say WHAT he does. NO idea. I’m just glad he does it. 

So I feel like I’ve come back to an old home of mine. One I thought I’d never see again. And I feel like I am moving through the empty rooms, full to bursting with the anticipation of filling them again.

Not the same as before, differently, but, the shared history remains. And maybe, after I begin the re-furnishing, and moving back in, maybe old friends might even drop by.

And, okay, it’s been awhile, so maybe I can’t expect many old friends but … I can hope to make some new friends in my old stomping grounds. 

Welcome me back, Ncubator. It has been an extraordinary journey.
