Lately, I’ve been finding it difficult to write in my blogs. I’m also way behind in reading some of the blogs I normally keep up with. Some of this is just science overload, I think. I was reading a popular science book, reading science blogs, writing a science blog and working in a lab all at the same time and I think I experienced some kind of upper limit and now, in backlash, I’ve read three fantasy genre books in the last five days.
I really wanted to keep this a strictly science blog and talk about my scientific interests but, ironically, I think that might be easier to do on a regular basis when I’m not actually doing research science. For one thing, labwork takes up the bulk of my time. Because of this, I have little time for leisure activities and less patience for studying and writing about science in what leisure time I do have (which seems to be about 15 minutes a day, but I suspect it may be slightly more than that).
So, my choices seem to be:
1. Shut down this blog
2. Keep this blog only about science and write in it very infrequently
3. Write about things other than science when the mood strikes and write about science when I feel like it.
Of all of these, number 3 seems like the best option. So, that’s what I’m going to do.
