Take a seat

You may need to sit down for this.

Okay you probably already are...

but for dramatic effect,

please pretend you had to sit down.

I am taking a week-long blogging break.

Under the doctor's  my coach's orders.

My fellow bootcampers and I are doing 

the Screen Free Week challenge.

No screens from April 30th to May 6th.

No computers(unless for work),

no television,

 and no phone except for "real"phoning.

I am not too concerned with no television.

I am not even worried about no facebook

but no blogging...arggg...

My head may explode.

I have so much to say at all times...

actually Stuart may want me to explode.

His ears may bleed.

Blessedly, most of the time
 he will held as captive audience
 in a tractor cab.
Truthfully, he is about half deaf 
so he welcomes my blather.

 Fortunately for him Abbie, Annie, and Maggie live close.

They listen to me with rapt attention.
Doubters shuttie.

I can't care.

I thought about blogging in advance 

and having the blogs auto post

but then I couldn't read your comments.

No way, they are too much fun. 

I cannot miss them so I am going to go cold turkey.
I may go belly up.
I may wear an eye patch and walk with a limp.
I  may even become coherent.
Some of you may die,
but it is a sacrifice I am willing to make
 because I am a stellar student.
I will do this task.
I really do think Coach may have a point.

 No Screen Week is a good thing.

It gets families interacting...mine has no problem there.

It gets people active and off their arses couches.
It shows us where we waste time...
(where I waste your time?pffft)

I plan to re-work flower beds.

I plan to read more.

I plan to sit on the porch.

I also plan to clean nap in my little camper.

paint some chairs,

go to lunch with  friends,
do more of my bible study,
spoil my farmer,
 and get ready for a rummage sale.

  Hmm, I may need more than a week.
I can't care.
A week is the assignment.
After all, I have an obligation to my fans.

I will respond to your emails 

when I return to flop at the computer.
I will be back in a week.
If not, just wait longer.
Next blog's forecast...
a few sprinkles of genius 
with a good chance of stupid.
However, if there is a murderer/rapist on the loose

in my neck of the woods

or a tornado is coming my way...

someone please telephone me.

Carry on peeps but
remember me fondly.
