Social Media Hiatus Day Sixteen

2025-08-16T21:12:33Z

Been messing around with my blogs again lol. Decided I wanted to consolidate all the blogs on Wordpress (except the Archive) as well as back up the tumblr I'm using to mirror posts from DW. What can I say, I'm obsessed with backups and mirrors and so on. Kind of started a few years ago as a result of the migration from LJ to DW, then when I lost my one laptop, then lost another due to tech issues like the first one, and yeah. I have multiple external hard drives that I try to back up at least once a month, even though I'd prefer once a week but sometimes I can't be bothered. It's a failing of mine, I know lol

Being on my own at home on this, day two of my vacation and the parentals being away, has been so nice. I just feel so relaxed. I have stuff I want to do this coming week such as tearing apart my room, cleaning, and putting it back together, getting new wheels and tires and so on, but I wanted to take this first couple of days and just not even worry about much of anything except keeping the pets fed and safe as well as myself.

Despite it being August on the eastern side of Washington state, the temperatures this week will be so very tolerable for me and I'm so grateful. Even though I'm not on the coast with the parentals enjoying the 60-70 degree Fahrenheit temps, I'll still have mostly 80s until around next Friday, when it's in the low 90s, but I'll be okay with that too.

( More rambling )

EDIT: It's been rare to receive spam messages/comments on any of my blogs but got one today. LOL. BAN and Delete.

Social Media Hiatus Day Twelve

2025-08-13T13:59:41Z

Technically day 13 but I didn't make a post yesterday because I was working on my notion fanfiction database and then went to bed early. Reason for that was due to getting added to a meeting series that is at 5:45 AM Pacific/8:45 AM Eastern. Work has decided that they are going to add me and my colleague to a new platform for support and yeah. Fun times for this night owl.

When I told Mom about it, she was like "Well, you've been wanting to get up earlier and get in the office earlier." Not exactly the early I wanted but whatever.

Not much more than that going on. The parents are leaving a day early for vacation so they can take two days for travel, versus doing the 9 hours in a whole stretch. This is for Mom's comfort as her ability to travel has to include some rest time. It's hard on her body as it is. So I'll have an extra day to myself. Who knows if they'll do the same on the other side, but I feel like they will. When it was assumed I would be traveling with them, we had talked about this as well but they hadn't decided if that was what they were going to do.

I don't have a lot of resentment that I don't get to go but there is some. At least the heat here won't be so bad. I'll miss the weather at Long Beach though.

Yeah, not much else to report today. I don't miss socmeds. I had a couple moments yesterday where I wanted to look at something on IG or FB or Twit but it wasn't important. I'm not sure how I'm going to navigate returning but I'm sure I'm overthinking it.
