Blissful silence

[judecorp]

So every so often, like right now, the baby is asleep and I get a few moments to do something with two hands. And after I eat something (which is always #1), I usually go down the list of things I should be doing:

washing diapers
doing laundry
cleaning house
writing thank you cards

and then decide to goof on the computer instead. So then I think that I should take some time to answer my e-mail and my back LJ comments. And I realize that I have 120+ LJ comments sitting in my inbox...

and suddenly laundry seems like the quicker, easier option.

Woah.

Comments

maybe 4-6 weeks ago i finally went through my email--i had about 1200 messages in my inbox that had been building up since quinn was born (4/06)....many of them were LJ comments that i wanted to reply to...but they just fell to the bottom of the pile. i kept saving them in my email as 'reminders,' and finally i decided that, um, i just probably wasn't going to write comments for things over a year old!

so i felt shitty, but they all got deleted. c'est la vie. so yeah, don't worry about responding to comments. at least not all of them, right? your f-list won't feel slighted. and if people do, well, i guess they haven't really been reading your LJ very closely.

Yeah, I am like that, too. I see a comment and I think, "Oh, I am going to answer this," and then more and more e-mails come and the comments go down, down, down. And eventually I'm like, "These people won't even remember what we are talking about," and I delete them.


Aah well. I am trying to keep up with the new ones.
