Just keep that in mind.

Your own blog is different. Allow that portal. I take time off all the time from my site, but its becasue I am busier with other things. You can be busier and not update, just do not do it purposefully. Let your not being on the computer come more naturally. It is a weird carosel you live in E, to love things, and then abstain from them, or change things just becasue its weird and you have the time to devote into not doing something. Chill out with the things you love next time.
