My Google Analytics stats have been depressing lately. Now that Adgitize and Entrecard are both gone, my blog traffic has slowed to a trickle. I know that some of you think that visitors from these blogging networks weren't really interested in reading your blog, but I beg to differ. Almost every interesting blog I've ever discovered came directly as a result of participating in the Adgitize and Entrecard networks. Without them, it's just going to be a bit harder to keep up with my favorite bloggers.
It's time for my annual physical again. I'm pretty good about eating the right foods and getting plenty of exercise, but I still don't look forward to these physicals. I'm just tired of hearing that my blood sugar and PSA levels are on the high side. I'm tired of wondering about the differences between good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. I definitely don't want to add any more meds to the growing pile I already take every day. Truthfully, I'm in better physical shape than I was fifteen years ago, but it's hard to feel that way. I've had to give up drinking and lost my tolerance for alcohol in the process. Now, even a glass or two of wine with dinner will keep me up half the night. The statins I take are starting to cause muscle atrophy. For the first time in my life, I'm feeling old.
I kept thinking I heard the raccoon last night. When I got up and looked out the window, there was nothing. Maybe I just dreamed I heard the raccoon. I have a feeling that the raccoon and the armadillo may have moved on to greener pastures. The backyard is so torn up right now that I don't think these animals could do any more damage if they tried.

I also find it hard to keep up now that entrecard is down. I still try to visit as much as I can and comment so they would know I dropped by.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
I agree with your comments on Entrecard. A number of the blogs that I enjoy - yours included - were discovered through EC.
ReplyDeleteI'm headed off today to see the retinal specialist, who will give me injections in both eyes. Aging is the pits! :D
Thankfully, I had already made a little program that opens my fav blogs in sets of 5, so I think I've preserved my favorites. I agree, that it was basically good for traffic, and the opportunities to find new blogs.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame Entrecard has gone, but it's been more or less abandoned for the last 3 years anyway :-(
