(<font size=\"-3\">really? you say, I hadn&#8217;t noticed. And then you roll your eyes<\/font>) But I do write. I write something. At least I usually do, if I&#8217;m not on vacation or sick as a dog or home so late it&#8217;s too much of an effort. Even if nothing worth writing about happened that day, even if my harebrained (HA! get it?) wormy mind can&#8217;t settle or stick to anything coherent. If I feel this much pressure to write in my little journal, imagine the kind of pressure someone like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dooce.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dooce<\/a> must feel. No wonder she hasn&#8217;t pooped in over a year.<\/p>\n<p>There is bad pressure, though, and there is <i>good<\/i> pressure. Even though I sometimes feel pressured (by myself! Not by you! Never by you!) to write here every day, it&#8217;s not a CHORE. After all, I AM pretty consistent about writing, and we&#8217;ll not talk about the state of things under the bathtub, okay? Or the current state of this journal.
