    Puzzled Luxie

    LAST UPDATED: January 9, 2020 PUBLISHED: January 10, 2020 By Pam Greer 9 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    I hope everyone is continuing to have a lovely start to the year.  I am already running super duper behind! 

    Having my husband retired has been a HUGE adjustment!  I am a morning person, so I actually liked getting up at 6 am and working bright and early.  Not only did I get an early start to the day, but there was no one to chat with or distract me (except for kitty cats) when he left for work.  

    We have compromised by getting up at 7 now.  Losing that one hour during my most productive time of the time has had a big impact on my workflow.  In addition to that, we've had a bunch of things happen...internet broke for a whole day, had to get his work phone transferred to our personal plan, internet broke again, had to do some stuff at our financial advisors office and so on and so on. 

    It's been one thing after another.

    So, I haven't been by to visit your websites, like I said I was going to!  I need to get on Feedly and organize all my blogs, so many of them I don't look at any more and I need to add the ones that I do want to visit. 

    How do you all stop by and visit blogs?  Do you use a reader like Feedly?  I'm trying to decide if I really need Feedly or if I should just make bookmarks of favorite blogs.  

    Anyway, I WILL visit you all!   

    Artsy photo was with Topaz Labs plugin.

      That's a sweet Luxie photo! Retirement is an adjustment especially when one retires first. We've used Feedly for a long time and find it to be pretty useful in keeping up. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

      Sorry things haven't been going so great. Regarding the blog thing, I mainly subscribe to most via email, but I'll be honest...I don't have much time for visiting either.

      Luxie looking cute, as always. Love the artsy image!

      I just bookmark all my blogs and I visit everyone on a hop. I love that profile photo. She's just so perky.

      Unusually deciding which I prefer this week, the selfie or the art, is so very difficult. I think I will plump for the art. Losing an hour when retired is so different from losing an hour when employed. I am sure you will sort it but we had to pretend we were still working so I could carry on getting my supper and breakfast on time 😉

      I use Bloglovin to keep up and also visit and participate in many of the blog hops.

      I don't get to visit everyone I would like to as there aren't enough hours of the day

      Beautiful artwork of your beautiful self, Luxie😸I think sometimes we have to give in when things are not going the way we want them to be 😀 It's not easy to hold up with all the blogs, even if we're trying very hard, we're always far behind. Hope things will get better for you now😸Pawkisses for a Happy Caturday🐾😽💞

      Stunning art Luxie, very nice. I've never heard of Feedly, but I'm going to do some research - thanks for the tip!

      Beautiful art, but what was puzzling you, Luxie?
      I hope your internet is fixed now. I was forever losing connection when it came via BT, but now we have a different type which uses no cables or wire but comes by band waves from a transmitter on a tower to a receiver on our roof wired to our router. It is no faster at 30mbps but is so much more reliable.
      I use Feedly every day and find it works very well for me. I also visit most blogs on the hops I take part in as they are not all in my reader.
