The Wheels Have Fallen – No Updates In Days

Avatar for get_the_author

Written by Sean on Saturday, September 19, 2009

So there were two days without updates. This is the first time without a post everyday in over a year. I’m a bit sad about things falling down like that. We had a good run. Let’s all try to get it going for longer, starting today?

Thanks to many people, transabled.org was able to sustain a one-post-per-day stretch for 13 months. That is, nearly 400 posts, back to back! I think this is impressive, and I want to thank all those who wrote and helped with this tally.

Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, we seem to have dried up somewhat.

I was asked today:

What’s up with the site? No new posts for two days???

I’m afraid my knee-jerk reaction was a bit abrupt. I’m sorry about that.

The truth is, I do have things to say, but some of these require some digging (both research and soul-searching). And I’ve not been particularly well physically these last few weeks. I have no energy to do all the hard thinking required for writing some of these things.

This site is for everyone. We all benefit from it. But it’s got to be participatory as well. It can’t all be just y’all sitting and anxiously awaiting the next installment.

So, I’m doing the best I can to either write new material, or solicit new material. It would be great if more people came forward to write. I would particularly love to hear from people who managed to realise their need.

I’m sorry I haven’t said anything, I’m too tired. I’m not used to working and when I get home at the end of the day I feel too drained to make any sort of an effort. I don’t seem to have as many jellybeans as you Sean.

Dear Sean,
I wish you better health. You have every right to take a break and rest some.
It is not so important how many texts and how much is written, but what is written. Two days without new blog entries are no problem.
This is not a competition.

Sophie, I don’t have any jellybeans. I think I was greedy and ate all my jellybeans ahead of time. Now, I’ve got nothing. This sponge is bone dry, nothing to give.

I’ll see if I can dig out some jelly beans later today…

Is it okay if I use chocolate instead?

Mmm chocolate…..

My Psyc told me not to be too hard on myself while I’m still adjusting to working and that I’ll get into a routine where I can do everything I want to after a few months.
