Ooops...

I did it again. Been “postless” for quite a stretch now, that is. I don’t know, but humidity has a way of sponging whatever creative juices I might (still) have. For the past two weeks, my days—and nights—have had a zombie-like drill: creep out of bed at 6, settle into the daily grind at 8, crawl back into bed 13 hours later. The routine, and the precious hours of mothering an overactive three-year-old, have left me with little time for things requiring some degree of creativity. And before I knew it, it’s been two weeks…

There’s this other thing that got me, well, occupied, these past days: earning “Master Detective” status in Big Fish Games’ Mystery Case Files-Ravenhearst. I am no arcade girl, but I do like computer games that are a little laid back. Like Text Twist, Zuma, Tumblebugs and the Mystery Case Files series. MCF-Ravenhearst’s plot may seem like a trite attempt at horror, but then we’re not talking Nobel Prize anyway. (And as they say, it’s the going there, not the getting there, that matters.) What I like best is figuring out how to open the elaborate locks. Makes me feel so much like Nancy Drew, he he.

My eyes are shot from picking out clues, and Ravenhearst is feeling more of a routine. I woke up this morning to a refreshing April shower. And guess what? I’m not stewing anymore…
