Sleeping is a wonderful idea. I fell asleep right after publishing my post yesterday. I was so tired. Woke up quite early, but it was raining so I went back to sleep until about ten thirty. Still being tired I began to check my social media. When you’ve got a job to do... you do. It was still raining, but I went outside for my photo walk at about one pm. Looking for new views to research for pictures I tried the cemetery on my side of the river, but that isn’t as good as the other one. Or maybe I haven't found the right entrance yet. There’s still a nice forest and foresty vegetation to explore so I park my car at the entrance to the cemetery. Didn’t even bother to move it when I heard cars approaching figuring they’ve got steering wheels. They did. There’s not a lot of traffic and they had full view of the road anyway. I’m not going to cause any accidents, I’m not that selfish.
The sad part though, about taking pictures in the forest is getting where you want to. My feet really hurt from all twisting and turning they have to put up with, or maybe I should say my ankles, but my feet hurt too. And my back. And for the first time today, my wrist. I’m falling apart. I drove a little bit further, past some houses and got onto a gravel road that goes back to the main road. But I found a road I’ve never followed before and I found a path that had markings and such going into the forest. It was an old trail, apparently people have been living here for two thousand years. I didn’t know that. ANd the path was a lot easier to walk on so I am sure I will return when I feel a bit better. It’s a long walk. With a bit of luck and hard work maybe I can walk it the entire length next summer.
I got some really good pictures, and some bad news. How bad the bad news are, I don’t know yet. But the pictures were pretty good. I got a nice picture of my cat too, which normally is impossible. I’ve got over one hundred followers on Vine and I uploaded my first Vine as well. I have beaten that curse, it’s done. At least one. Of my cat. She’s cute, but not funny. I am boring and there’s a rain storm outside my window.
And apparently us boring people shouldn’t be calling us writers. There are libraries all over the world bored by what we write. We are selfish, self absorbed and should stop writing. According to a gut on Instagram. No, he didn’t say it to me, it was more of a general posting, but apparently, because I still remember it I felt a little bit like I was in the firing line. Not that it bothers me so much that I’m going to stop. He’s entitled to his opinion. Maybe he doesn’t understand the more serious stuff libraries have a lot of. Maybe he need a comic book store instead. I’m sorry. That was mean- I didn’t mean it, but I kinda did…
And then there’s the Vine thing… why does it always have to be funny, and people on cam doing dumb stuff or dancing or singing or edits or… Of course funny is always fun, that’s what most of my revines are. Funny. And of course the big cats, but he’s funny, so I don’t know. I’m not funny. I just told you I am boring. Should probably have my keyboard removed because I dare call myself a writer, And now I’m invading Vine with my boring cat too. I don't know. Maybe it was the first and last, but I do kind of have an idea that I would like to try first. That’s why I had to upload my cute kitty. To get more space for the new stuff. Always the deleting and removing of stuff. I don’t like that. I’m a hoarder.
But, they say that to get many followers and likes on Instagram you need to do selfies, party pictures, the pictures with people on them get more likes. That may very well be true, but I am quite happy with how my page/gallery/whatever is doing. My previous account had eight followers, I was happy when this one got ten times that. Even more happy when I realized I had hundred more followers than my ex did. (If you’d ever get the weird idea of reading this, I’m sorry!) And now I have almost two hundred more than him. (So very sorry!). I get even with people by getting more followers on Twitter or on Instagram. Passive Aggressive - The Swedish Way. Subtweeting is also fun. That’s what most of my tweets are at the moment. (Sorry =( so very sorry!)
I guess that what I am doing right now with the writing, the blogging, the photography, trying new hobbies or developing old ones, especially hobbies that take me outside, walking around, is what the doctor meant when he told me to find something funny to do. When my doctor told me, a long time ago, that he wasn’t going to let me work, that I needed to stay home and focus on my health and injuries, that I didn’t realize how bad it was. I told him I would get so bored just staying at home, I need to work. Find something fun to do then… I found my video games, many, many youtubers to subscribe to. I played Minecraft and watched Youtubers play Minecraft. It felt as if I had company. Then I found the servers and really had company. Then I stopped sleeping to play the video games on servers with company, in a different time zone. I don’t think that what was he meant though. But it was definitely fun!!!
That was exactly one thousand words. This is plus…. But I have to thank you and hope you’ll have a nice day!!!
