You’re probably wondering why the title of this blog post is misspelled. Actually, it’s not. It’s an acronym for Bored, Lonely, Anxious, Hungry, Stressed, and Tired. Why’s this important? If you feel anyone of those six things, then you’re more likely to be ornery, unmotivated, unproductive, and lapse into your “comfort” mode routines. I first learned about this in November and it made a lot of sense at the time. However, as I’ve started to look more closely at myself, I realize even more now how true BLAHST is.
I slept really well on Sunday night. I wasn’t restless during the night and it felt like I got plenty of sleep. I also ate breakfast Monday morning. As a result, on Monday, I was extremely productive at work, I was in a good mood all day, I enjoyed life, etc. Whereas, last night, I didn’t sleep well at all. I didn’t go to bed early and I had to get up earlier than usual this morning. I was restless all night and didn’t sleep well. I also didn’t eat breakfast this morning. I feel drained, on edge, very unproductive, and unmotivated today.
I guess the lesson I need to learn in all of this is I need to go to bed early so I can get at least eight hours of sleep each night. And, I need to eat breakfast every morning. If I do these things, I think I’ll be more apt to exercise, eat healthy, do my work, hang out with friends, clean, and all those other necessary/fun things life throws my way.

To Comment or Not to Comment
For the past several months, I’ve been wondering about something. However, I’m a little leery at how to put this because I don’t want to come off as whiny or insulted. I know I may sound a little whiny and I’m sorry for that as it’s not my intention. And, I’m not insulted; I’m just curious and I’m filled with a longing to be interesting, liked, loved, and approved of. (How’s that for honesty?) I hope that makes some sense and will help you understand my post.
Anyway, I started my blog as something for me to do–a journal of my doings, so to speak, since I don’t keep a written journal. I also like webpage design, without the programming, so a blog is perfect for my interests.
I know my blog is for me and no one else; I just like to receive comments to know that others are enjoying my blog too, or at least reading it. I know I don’t have my own cute kids to blog about, so when I do blog about others’ kids, it’s few and far between. I also know I don’t have a lot of personal stuff to blog about because Corey and I are really boring, and I don’t want to post something about Corey he doesn’t want me to post about. I’m not sure if that plays into no comments.
In the past six months or so, I’ve noticed that people who used to comment on my blog don’t comment anymore. I’ve been wondering if they have stopped reading my blog and why. I have also noticed a few new commentators, which has been a fun surprise!
I guess this leads to a poll question.
PS–I know I’m not always the best at commenting either. Most of the time it’s because I don’t have anything witty to say or I’m too lazy. I’ve tried to be better because I know how much my friends like to have comments on their blogs too.
