There have been some things that I’ve wanted to write about recently… infertility related, and I haven’t because I almost don’t feel like this is the safe space it used to be. There are too many “real life” people who have popped into my blog unexpectedly (Julie and Diana, you don’t count, you were invited here, so you’re always welcome… for that matter, if you were invited, you’re welcome here, so it’s not you I’m talking about). But it’s weird, you know? I started this blog to write about infertility. I feel guilty sometimes that I don’t write about it so much anymore, and yet, here I am with a bunch of thoughts about infertility-related stuff and I’m not writing them because I don’t feel like I can write about them here anymore. I feel like I’ve just made some mistakes with this blog. Too much of the real me. I mean, I’ll always be the real me, but I mean, too many real names and pictures…it’s just too… searchable. I don’t mind that you all know our real names and all that. I just mind the searchability, I guess.

Anyway, I think I’m going to move my blog soon. I may change my mind and not bother, but that’s what’s on my mind right now. When I do it, I’ll let you know how to find it, most likely, I’ll just have you email me for the new URL and/or, I’ll have Mel post a note in the Lost and Found Connections. But I just wanted to put you on notice. I’m not trying to be all dramalicious about it. It’s just been on my mind. I’ve had this blog for a while and I don’t like leaving it and throwing my archives away along with it. That frustrates me. I don’t like losing the searchability for other people in terms of the topics people might be looking for help on. But … I think it might be the right thing in the long run.

Still, I reserve the right to change my mind. I’m in a bit of a funky place this week, so it might just be me being in a bad mood. Who knows. But it’s been on my mind for a bit now, so I think it might just be time. I don’t want to move to a private, password-protected blog, so that’s not the answer. I just think I’m going to move. For those of you who’ve done this before, have you been sorry you’ve done it? Have you lost readers? Have you found an easy way to do it? Should I not bother? Gah. I’m so indecisive.
