In the past two days, I have remarked to two women in my life (oddly, both named after animals) that I am trying to figure out where this blog fits in. What I really mean is that I miss this blog. I have spent so much time focused on The Frugal Lawyer that this blog doesn't get a whole lotta love. I never really meant for that to happen. We haven't drifted apart. I think I have found ways to morph the content that would normally be meant for this blog onto TFL. I never meant for TFL to represent my entire life. That was supposed to be about my financial life.
This has always been about me. But for a long time, this blog became overrun by my health. Honestly, I'm tired of talking about it. I have fibromyalgia. I have hypothyroidism. I am plagued with self-esteem issues due to my weight. Blah blah blah. I'm tired of writing about the same things all of the time. I don't fit into all of these tiny little boxes.
Sort of how I'm starting to feel exhausted writing about my financial life all of the time on TFL. I'm not going to stop writing on TFL, but perhaps I need to decrease the number of posts per week so that I can get some breathing room and come over here to play now and then. I miss talking about Glee, or getting on my soapbox about something.
I miss this blog. It's been with me since 2004 in some incarnation. I'm not quite ready to let it go at this point.
Right at this moment, I want to merge all of my blogs into one and have everything at this one. I won't do it, but the feeling is there right now.

Hey, I am going to miss you! I had The Frugal Lawyer fed into MyYahoo, in no small part because I am a blonde female lawyer who writes the Everyday Simplicity blog. When I found TFL, can’t remember where now, it was like finding a kindred spirit.
I’m not going to delete TFL from my feed b/c you’re promising to return. Good.
And, while I don’t have fibro, I do have to fight some issues over here in Texas … and I understand that overwhelmed, byucky feeling all too well.
I’m not so naive to think that I can write some magic words and voila! Things are better!
But I can write this. TFL helped me. I’ve just found Kitten and I’m sure to be reading thru all ur old posts, and this is being typed even after I read the colonic one.
Sometimes, it gets tough out here, blogging away and not getting that many comments back. Checking the StatCounter and seeing so many that zip right off the site as soon as they zip in.
And that’s before we even get to talking about practicing law. Or the economy. Or feeling bad.
I want you to know that your words counted. I read them. I liked them. I look forward to reading more.
I hope this comment acts as an encouraging word.
God bless,
Reba Kennedy
