Is this thing on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last few months leading up to Bruce McArthur’s sentencing I’ve been weirdly guilty about not maintaining this blog. My inner dialog would go something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should write about Andrew.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t want to seem like an attention whore*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like I need to get my feelings out there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh then you’ll really look like a whore.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which would stop me from even accessing my blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got notification that deadrobot.com domain was up for renewal the guilt hit me hard. I use to love blogging until Facebook and Instagram came along. Cue same old music, the Social Media Shuffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, post-Andrew, I am finding the socials less and less satisfying and inversely my posts are becoming more wordy, less meme-share-y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, my Sister-in-law is blogging daily from Puerto Vallarta, dropping one last straw on this poor camel’s back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here I am. Digging into the back end of my blog, finding things to update (how was I not hacked in my 2 year absence?) and choosing a new theme. Will I last? I won’t say. I will try though! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow along, will you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*After my 4th or so TV interview when Andrew went missing, I was told I was the face of Andrew’s cause. I didn’t want that at all and pulled back drastically<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
