A Black Friday NaBloPoMo Meltdown

November 28, 2014 By Johnna 5 Comments

This post contains affiliate links. See my disclosure for more information.

This month I’m writing one blog post each day as a participant in National Blog Post Writing Month.  While it’s been challenging (particularly the first week, getting in the swing of things), today I just wasn’t feeling it.

I mean, really, no one wants to read a recipe today.  Or hear about my food travels when they are still in a turkey day food coma.  Maybe I just didn’t want to write it with an overly full tummy.

Or maybe, just maybe, no one is sitting at their computer reading blog posts today.  Maybe they are with friends or family or enjoying time by themselves with an actual book, made of paper with pages turned by more than a swipe of a finger on a screen.

And so I stepped away from the computer for the day.  It’s okay for you to do that, too.

I went with friends to the luminary walk at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.  Stunning.  We walked the glass labyrinth in the dark, quite a treat!

Then we saw the Christmas lights on the Plaza, which have been changed to LED bulbs this year.  So many people out enjoying the nice weather.

Tomorrow I’ll be back with a Soften Saturday  post, but today I needed to  unplug. Thanks for understanding!

    I get the feeling of it all from your words and photos. The luminary walk sounds extra special. Needing to unplug is critical. Thanks for sharing!

      We have wanted to attend the luminary walk for years but something always comes up or we simply forget about it in the Thanksgiving food coma. It was absolutely wonderful. We walked the new glass labyrinth after dark as well, which was also wonderful. It’s a wonder I don’t stay unplugged with all of the wonderful things to do in this city!

    I totally get it Johnna… totally. I’ve been unplugged now for 2-3 months.

    Dropped my MINI Cooper Facebook page for stickerznthingz as no was was buying anything from my store…. the store is next.

    Haven’t posted any new recipes over at eatznthingz though I’ve made some great dishes lately as most no one goes there and it’s just too much work to write down and test recipes.

    Haven’t done any Fiat runs or events either though I’ve been invited.

    Supposed to go watch a friend do one of the endurance Spartan races this Sunday but not feeling it.

    Just feeling a general since of malaise recently. Good lord I shouldOLD & TIRED… 😉
