Another blog post!

It seems like time for another blog post - so here goes...

I continue to struggle with my IBS. And the various other health issues - yes, including the depression. The depression is bad right now - being honest. I have to be honest on this blog, or there is no point in having the blog, is there?

At least I made it to the hairdressers on Wednesday, so that's positive, anyway!

Continue to regularly update my poetry sites: http://paulapuddephatt.tripod.com/poetry and www.paulapoems.blogspot.com. I have been neglecting my spiritual blog - www.quagan.blogspot.com - but I shall try to update this again soon. It would be good to update that blog more regularly.

I have been adding videos to my Deborah Gibson - www.pauladebblog.blogspot.com - and Tiffany - www.paulatiffblog.blogspot.com - blogs.  Seems better than annoying everyone with them on Facebook, and it's easier to find them again!  I enjoy it, anyway. Nice to see that "Can't Stop a Heartbeat" is recognised (four You Tube clips, not bad going). Why a song as great as that was "hidden away" on the B-side of "Radio Romance", I will never know. Worth listening just for the sax, but it's a really great track, overall! My favourite Deborah Gibson track, at the moment, has to be "Goodbye". Amazing - absolutely love it! It was a track from Deborah's "Body Mind Soul" album.

Anyway, that's all for now. Thank you for reading. Love and peace to you all! xxx

PS: Last minute decision to change this into the same font and size as I use on my poetry site.  I'm not going back and altering all of the previous posts, but I think that I'll use this one in the future.  I actually did this post differently.  It was a kind of experiment.  I typed it up in WordPad first, instead of writing straight on to the blog.  Apart from this "PS" part.  I am adding this spontaneously, in the usual way! :-)

PPS: The links to my other blogs don't work on here.  Blogger is being weird about links to other Blogger sites, for some reason.  The one to my Tripod poetry site works.  All of the others can be found through the links page on that site, anyway!!! x

Update...

See: www.quagan.blogspot.com.  I wasn't sure whether I should use that blog, or this one, for my latest post!!! x

Just been looking at my Blogger stats...

Interesting results.  Quite detailed.  Surprised I didn't investigate these sooner!  I only recently started to look at them at all, and I spent a little longer looking this time.  Blogger stats pages are officially addictive!!!

That's enough video sharing for now...

I thought that I had been blocked for a moment.  Would have made my new Deborah Gibson blog pretty pointless.  All I do on that is share You Tube clips.   xxx

I'll finish my coffee - should stick to tea, I know - and then do something a little more constructive.  This is fun, though - and constructive in its way.  It can be good to go back through the videos later...

I'll leave it there for now.  Love to all who read this blog - yeah, of course I have readers.  I do and, if I don't, well, at least I enjoy my own video clips - right??? :-)

The last week in "Paula World"!

Where do I start?  Good or bad?  Well, last week I got out four times in one week, starting with the hairdressers on the Monday.  For those of you who know about my struggles with agoraphobia and chronic physical health issues, you will appreciate that this was a huge step for me.  All were very local trips, and the first was the "biggest deal", but yes, it was a pretty big achievement.  And I felt so much better.

But the "crash" had to come, with my "time of month" and tiredness, IBS issues etc "catching up" with me.  Now I am struggling.  A lot.  Being absolutely honest, I am depressed, and have been depressed throughout, and the racing thoughts never stop.  Whilst getting out and about, the distraction factor kept me going.  Now - it is going to be hard - which doesn't mean that I intend to give up, as it won't be long before my period is finished, and then I hope to carry on where I left off, in terms of getting out and about.

I am not writing poetry.  I haven't written anything at all, apart from Facebook status updates and occasional Tweets!  Until now - so a blog post is also a "positive".  I also managed to read some poetry earlier, which I haven't been doing enough - Sophie Hannah, love her!!! :-)

I might add some more music videos to my blog soon.  If I visit You Tube whilst logged into Google, I can actually "like" my favourite videos on there, which I only discovered by chance.  Guess that Google own, or have something to do with, You Tube???

More from me soon, hopefully. xxx

Spent most of the day in bed...

I felt depressed, and my tummy was bad.  So that's that.  But never mind.  It's happened before and will again.

I wanted to put my poems in a different order again on my Tripod site.  It tends, otherwise, to end up in reverse chronological order, but that doesn't necessarily work for me, or the readers.  (Don't say, "What readers?"  I do get some!)  I also wanted to try to change the font on each poem within the software, to make them all look the same - could be something of a challenge, as well as time-consuming, and mind-numbingly boring.  Oh, well...Anyway, I can't log on at present.  I must admit that I suspect that this might happen.  The Tripod page on Facebook mentioned something about people having problems logging in.  I might as well "plug" the site while I'm here, I guess: http://paulapuddephatt.tripod.com/poetry. 

I think that's all for now.  I don't know whether to update my "Quagan Poet" site.  I am so mixed-up about my spiritual beliefs right now.  So nothing new there, right???  But not sure if I feel like "talking" about it - which, in my lingo, means blogging about it...

Love to you all!  Yeah, because I just know that so many people actually read my blogs!!! xxx

This is Paula's latest blog!

I never realised this, but so many people have blogs about nothing - as "blogaboutnothing", "theblogaboutnothing", "ablogaboutnothing", "anotherblogaboutnothing"...all taken.  I had to include my name in the URL, in the end!  :-)

I have a general blog at: www.paulap.blog.com.  However, I have been neglecting this, and I thought that I would be more likely to update another blog on Blogger/Blogspot, as I log on here anyway, to update two of my other blogs.

The idea of "The Blog About Nothing" was based on the concept of a Flickr group - don't mention Flickr to me at the moment, though - long story!!!  But, anyway - this group was set up partly as a kind of social comment within the flickr.com (photo sharing) community, on the number of groups with so many pendantic, ridiculous "rules".  The guy who set it up did say that, by being a group about "nothing", it was also therefore a group about "everything" - sounds good to me.

I don't know if I'll even end up using this blog, but time will tell...
