Gifted artist, writer and cyber-acquaintance, Linda Woods, recently wrote a blog post about the strange goings on in her world, wondering if Mercury Retrograde was to blame.

I know it’s not, but wonder about this week’s cosmic activity. If you know, please leave a comment of explanation. Lots of oddities are occurring, especially in this online world. Here’s my beef:

After a long relationship with one web host, I made a change for improved service. I thought.

After signing contracts and sealing deals, this site disappeared for a few days. I’d been assured that would not happen. And then yesterday, my poetry site vaporized, auto-sending visitors here. (I guess that was a stroke of luck.)

Promises of rapid repairs and apologies were profuse. I am unimpressed, but choosing to focus on the bright side. Today I’ll be at a track meet in Tempe and tomorrow at the Diamondbacks’ game. I’m happily committed to a weekend of fun. There’s no room for worry about cyber-techno-glitchy issues.

But the darned site better be right on Monday!

In the meantime, here’s a poem many with bipolar disorder say accurately captures their reality, in case you’re Jonesin’:

Cycling, Again

Again.

Jangled.

Rankled.

Out of  sync.

Out of sorts.

Viewing the world

Through lenses of distortion;

Feeling feelings

One cannot explain.

Questioning thoughts, relationships, motives, decisions.

Is this what it’s like to be insane?

How to re-contain?

Maintain?

Stop the pain?

Again?

See you Monday!
