Yes, the "blog post Zen master", as I've been called by a couple of you, now has no more posts saved in his Activerain post well. You see, in the past, I have boasted that I have anywhere between 20-40 posts pre-written, ready to post at any time.

But, today that well ran dry! I wasn't sure what to do. I went to the gym and that certainly didn't help, so ended up watching cartoons with the kids. Then I went to my room and fell asleep on the bed. I'm showing clear signs of depression.

You see, for the past two weeks we have been having very unusual winter weather here. We had 14 days of snow and ice and then major flooding with heavy downpours and snow melt. I like people. I like seeing them, and talking to them, even if it isn't real estate related. I need to be out and about.

New Years Eve was good for me because the weather was good and I got to see other people, but it's hard to talk to drunk people. However it was still nice seeing people and that help me get out of my funk a little bit.

Today the weather looks like it is going to give us a break and I think I will be able to go out and see people and maybe come up with a few posts. You see part of my problem is that I write most of my posts while driving, and in the past three weeks, I've maybe used a quarter tank of gas. That isn't a lot of time in the car where my mind wanders and great posts are born. I did try to sit in the car yesterday without driving to see what would happen, but that didn't work either.

So, hopefully my blogging mojo will come back as the people start to come out of their houses and want to talk again about real estate, or even life.
