Moving on

I haven’t been blogging all summer because I’ve been so discouraged by the blog.com migration and what it has done to The Hermetic Review. All my formatting is down the drain, and I lost several posts, including a review for two weeks at Prana Power Yoga. My beautiful pasileys are gone! And that long booklist! It is such a bummer that I can’t bear to think of it!

To be honest, this stresses me out so much that it makes me cry every time I come on here to try and work things out. Their customer support is cold and weak. It took profanity and about 10 support tickets over the course of a month and a half to get anyone to respond to me at all, and when they finally did they offered NO solutions and NO reassurance. Now I’m supposed to wait how long until this will be customizable again? I am ashamed to put this sloppy thing on a resume now.

I don’t want to wait forever for the html features to become available, so I hereby am blogging again, even while things are still in disarray around my words. If you are seeing this blog for the first time, please try to imagine something much grander and more creative.

Today I rode my bike through Central Park in the rain, and then played an excellent game of pirates while babysitting. This is the back-to-school mania; tomorrow will be day 7 of nonstop babysitting. I can’t even keep it all straight in my head.

I am riding across the bridge to stay in Williamsburg tonight, so that Brooks can take me to the new Italian coffeehouse in the morning for a ricotta and fig tart.

This Virgo time is all about nesting, putting love and attention into the home, creating an intentional space to surround us.
