Hello Steemverse,

I am so happy to be writing to you.

Although I have not been blogging, I have been active here on the blockchain, reading, curating and commenting.

I must admit, it got a little boring for a little while, as much of the content was duplicated onto the HIVES blockchain, where I am also active. I "fixed" the problem by going to the "new" tab and reading freshly printed content. I find there are still lots of interesting authors here, and I have been enjoying making new "friends."

I got new bookshelves in my condo since last I wrote

I have also found the Wizarding Community, and although I wish it was a bit more active, I am finding that the few posts I do find are enjoyable to read.

I stopped blogging here for a minute, while I figured out what was going on. It was a little confusing at first, as I had moved away from STEEMIT and was actively using tribes. Suddenly, I found that content that was specifically meant for the steem community, was suddenly showing up on my HIVES blog, not cool. Not cool at all.

I got really good at making waffles this quarentine, but then my waffle iron busted

I feel double posting is bad for both communities, as it makes search engines have to disregard (or maybe regard) one blockchain as a plagiarist double poster. I don't wish to be a part of that.

Also, I found that I has less time on my hands as I reached the end of my pregnancy (Congratulations to me!!!). Although this was my fourth, I had never really stopped to appreciate how difficult it was to stay mentally alert enough to want to do "stuff."

A tiny glimpse at a project I have been working on. Will be launching this month!

I am excited for the blockchain now that things seem to be mellowed out. I like that steemworld is still up and active, I like that new replacements for some dapps that left are being showcased, and I like that to read some of the new talent that has been showing up on my feed.

It is nice to still be here.

Also, I let myself do some power downs, and bought myself some pretty cool baby gear (Disney Princess Onesies anyone?) and also let myself pay some utility bills. It was nice to remind myself that this is "real money."

I bought myself a similar diaper bag to this one. I must admit, it's cute, but the quality is not as impressive as I had hoped

A hobby that let's you pull cash out every once in a while. What a win.

For those of you who get to see this, thank you for taking the time to read.

And for those of you who love to share, please let me know which dapps, programs, and communities I should be checking out, as well as any authors who are doing a great job. ALSO TAGS TO USE! I love suggestions.

I will keep checking in. I have some ideas on which direction I want to take this blog, but am not quite ready to execute.
