It wasn't my intention to stay offline for four full days...again.
Maybe I had planned to skip Thursday because my favorite Wi-Fi hotspot was only going to be open for two hours, and Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever was on. Though if TLC were still with us, I would have been at the library for the full two hours.
Possibly Friday was going to be an offline day anyway because of all the hotspots being closed and it was far too cold to sit outside, even in a car. Oh, and it was Christmas, which means food, family and Doctor Who.
If it hadn't snowed overnight and into Saturday, causing the morning to suck, I might have ventured to a particular deli hotspot for a couple of hours. I was exhausted and didn't want to go anywhere, so my sis and I spent the afternoon watching Brokeback Mountain.
I seriously thought about going to my deli hotspot on Sunday afternoon, but I chose to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens again.. The geek is strong in this one, and I enjoyed it even more the second time around.
I must confess that I experience a certain amount of pleasing mental silence when I stay offline for a day or two or four. I could have waited another day, or even until 2016, but I decided it was time. Time to touch base with online friends/family who probably think I've vanished in some Nebraskan version of the Bermuda Triangle or been snatched away by He Who Walks Behind The Rows.
Freak Out,

Hey John ... I completely understand! Your entire thought process made perfect sense ... And yes, being offline is a good mental break from time to time, to regenerate your yourself!! Well, I for one, am glad you are not in the Nebraska version of the Bermuda Triangle, but think of what a great story you could write!!!
