RE: A hot cup of wake-up: #dailyfoodphotography contest

2 days ago you said this:

It's bedtime for me, after a fun evening socializing with Steemians and setting up my new device. I'll post more about the meet-up tomorrow.

....and 2 blog posts later, lots of cycling stuff (which I know your passion is)... nothing... not a peep,

Did you read this post?

Ugh. Eventhough your blog posts didn't say anything about it, I see your comments did. You were actively commenting about it.

My apologies. I would have deleted this post... but I can't for some reason.

I am happy to see your great comments about what happened and will upvote them all. :)

Sorry for wondering why your blog (last 2 posts) didn't say anything... But your comments are golden. :)

Hi @intelliguy! Thanks for your comment! I really appreciate that you're paying attention :) Where to begin? To summarize, I get overwhelmed by excitement when I have awesome experiences and my life is very full currently, with both positive and negative challenges. The combination results in short windows of time to attempt summarizing the awesome experiences into a blog post I'm satisfied with. I've logged in with the intention to post about the meet-up, then chose to look at other people's posts about it, comment and reply to comments, look through photos and videos to choose which to share, and ... it's time for bed, or work, or something else, and I still haven't completed a draft.

This was the case last month when I got home from a P!nk concert, full of joy and adrenaline, posted a photo on Steemit and said I would blog more about the show the next day. That still hasn't happened. As I look at the pictures and videos and think about how to share in a way that emcompasses the amazingness of P!nk, an incredible person, strong role model, kick@$$ performer, athletic, talented human and the experience of witnessing her live for the first time, I have no words. P!nk post.

More recently, it was the Cloud Cult performance with the MN Orchestra I had looked forward to for months. The evening was almost as incredible as my wildest moments of imagination had anticipated and I want to share feelings I can't possibly convey in text. From the post promising a future post:

The band Cloud Cult from Duluth, Minnesota collaborated to play a concert with the MN Orchestra. A dream team I had been waiting months to hear. And I was not disappointed. More about the concert in a later post... It was an awesome weekend and I have so much to blog about.

Back to the meet-up. Last night, by the time I figured out how to create and share my first GIF, I was exhausted. So I posted it in a comment because the meetup post wasn't done yet.

If we're patient, it will happen :) First, I have to read the post you shared above about the universe and then the kid I'm taking care of as a nanny will probably be done napping...

And those are all the words about my experiences of being too overwhelmed to put amazing memories into words, complete with citations of evidence, so you don't have to search for it (I saw your comment about investigating to discover who won the tablet) :)

Cheers to powerful people, our connections with each other and the universe, and experiences too great for words!

P.S. Perhaps we can talk on steem.chat? This turned out to be a really long post!

but I can't for some reason

The price of the "censorship free guarantee" perhaps? ;)
