Have you had the number of visitors drop off recently?
Of course that is the result of Christmas family functions, parties, and holiday shopping.
Work as a rare blood courier has become grueling from all the holiday wrecks.
I worked 16 hours straight yesterday ...
Sleeping 16 hours straight today on my precious day off to heal from that!
And I awoke to having 31 followers gone from my blog! Ouch!!
That is the first time I have lost so many. But I have just recently gotten a new follower:
THANK YOU, HONG LONG!
Visit his blog page:

It is inventive and artistic, advocating victory over violence.
I pray this Christmas week treats you so fine it is a gift unto itself! :-)
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
That's weird that a whole batch of them dropped off at once. Maybe Google updated something and inactive people were removed. Who knows? Have a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteYes, isn't it? I think you, D.G., and Alex are right: Google did some year-end cleaning. :-( I thought I was more popular than I was: I've gone out with some ladies like that! Ouch! Now, I'll lose more followers!
DeleteAnother blog I visited said 11 of her followers have dropped off, and I noticed a slight drop of 2 or 3 myself. It's the end of the year cleanup, I think. What comes can also go easily, so I don't worry too much about it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right: keep a calm center, accepting yourself and enjoying the treasures of life while you have them. :-)
DeleteSeveral others have mentioned losing followers this past week. I think it's people making year end cleanings. Sorry you lost so many!
ReplyDeleteAs Sandra told me: their loss, Roland. Thanks for dropping by and commenting, making me feel not quite so alone.
DeleteNow, off to grocery shopping and getting back to THE NOT-SO-INNOCENTS where McCord is having to deal with the ramifications of saving Lincoln, but not Mrs. Lincoln, at Ford Theatre.
As his companion, Mark Twain, keeps telling him: no good deed goes unpunished! :-)
I lost several followers, too.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid that my not being able to visit my friends due to the holiday increase in work had alienated some of my friends. Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone!
DeleteI believe that the followers thing is a blogger glitch.
ReplyDeleteAnd suspect that other people are, like you, too busy to visit blogs.
I am still exhausted from the weekend! Thanks for visiting and chatting with me!
DeleteHi Roland - as the others have said .. I've lost 8 - and after various visits realised it's blogger tidying itself up. So it's not a great wodge of them ... 31 is pretty bad though ... but at least it's not 100s ...
ReplyDeleteCheers and we're still here ... hope the shop was successful for a decent Christmas time .. Hilary
So my fears were groundless, Whew! 31 still is a lot to lose. Sigh.
DeleteSorry you lost 8. :-(
Yes, the shopping was hectic, and I, of course, forgot several things!
I do Star Wars tomorrow!
Hi Roland .. I came across this blog - that enlightens us even more ... and will keep us informed:

Why they have to do things at Easter or at Christmas I don't know - one year it all went pear shaped for me around the A-Z ... just about finished off my blogging career ...
Star Wars - not for me ... and 2 days for shopping still ... ?!
Cheers Hilary
Thanks for the link that explains what's going on, Hilary! Administrators seem to want to isolate blogging systems even more.
DeleteThanks for the explanatory link. :-) I enjoyed STAR WARS despite the spoiler from Jason. Have a beautiful Christmas.
DeleteYes, D.G. sometimes Scrooge is all too alive during the holidays!!
