Blogged to death

Blogging blogging blogging!!! Blogging in the morning blogging in the night blogging all through the day. Open the windows on my Laptop’s screen, write down the most genius,inspired comment, click on ‘submit’ to Rits , Despina, Petite Anglaise.... blogposts, reply to my blog’s comments , write down the most improvised stuff on my blog and back again to recycle all the previous. I have opinion about the Greek, the Dutch the British state of affairs, even what is good for the Americans, I know about books, flowers, kids....etc. I am the most opinionated woman in my small family of four. Of course, when Johnny is around, I am pretending I am busy with my bank's accounts or sending e-mails to my agent and publishers, in other words with my own ‘serious’ state of affairs. This morning, Johnny came in and placed quietly without a single word, next to my secret weapon and the medium to express my opinions in the blogsphere-my precious Laptop- the ‘Guardian’. With the edge of my left eye, I caught the title of a small article. «Blogged to death» "Panagea mou Christe mou, Jesus Christ!", I shouted to myself , at the same time I felt a pinch in my heart and I snatched the newspaper and started to read «Russell Shaw, a technology contributor to the Huffington Post, died from a heart attack, a few months after Mark Orchant, another blogger died following a massive coronary. There is a serious stress sleep disturbance and exhaustion among members of the blogging community and big threats for the wellbeing and health for those who are blogging...........» Finishing the article the pinch in my heart had been transformed now to a punch, I fell exhausted, Ι folded up the newspaper, switched off the Laptop and headed to the conservatory, holding my cup of tea, Johnny was there with a blissful expression in his face, reading his newspaper, probably an article about ‘how to make your wife stop blogging’. I said to him ‘darling I think we don’t need any more the gardener, I’ll sort out the garden by myself. Perhaps the gardening will be a remedy for my blogging addiction.... Even by saying this I feel less pinches in my heart..... Hmmm, perhaps I can put my Laptop in our garden’s summerhouse, in the fresh air... Just a thought!!!
