Do I Hear TWO?!?
Yesterday I took a day off and that’s just fine cause #whynot but today I was back on. And not only was I back on, but it was Father’s Day today and so a couple of weeks ago I picked out a present “from the twins” and went shopping with PROS.alpha and today *GASP* let…

Now That We’re Writing Every Day
Do we stop? Write when the urge takes us? Edit for content? Get more consistent on the publishing quality? No. Even though I’ve been writing every single day for over a month… I would link to the original post, sometime in early May, but it’s in that sweet spot of posts that were wiped when…

This Space Intentionally Left Blank
TRIGGER WARNING This article or section, or pages it links to, contains information about sexual assault and/or violence which may be triggering to survivors. I’m staring at a blank page. With a blank mind. Knowing that it’s time to write. Time to express. Time to vent. And nothing’s coming. Just write. SOMETHING. The part that…

How Was The Appointment?
TRIGGER WARNING This article or section, or pages it links to, contains information about sexual assault and/or violence which may be triggering to survivors. Doctor visit went fine.

TRIGGER WARNING This article or section, or pages it links to, contains information about sexual assault and/or violence which may be triggering to survivors. The doorbell rang. It was a solicitor.

What We’ve Learned So Far
As I’ve been rebuilding this site. In case you hadn’t noticed. I have. Cause of the hack. And this is what I’ve learned so far… Backups Aren’t Necessary UNTIL THEY ARE If I had been maintaining regular backups (which the hosting company is totally happy to do for just a few euros more per month),…

I’m Obviously Stressed About Something
But I don’t know what it is. Helpful, aren’t I? Whenever I’m feeling stressed or anxious or depressed, there are signs. Lately I’ve been sitting on my ass doing NOTHING except watching television and / or eating. At night I chew my tongue so hard that the pain wakes me up. I also have nightmares.…

Finally Some Good News
Something’s whack with the last version of the database on godaddy. All the site is wiped. I haven’t managed a shower yet. My teeth are wearing a sweater. And I might feel some regret over posting that picture of me with hairy armpits online. Everything is better with a catling on your lap. Also music…

I Can Do This
Today I’m rebuilding groningenrain.nl for the second time. It was hacked. There were pharmaceutical ads all over the site. Sometimes replacing the entire site from the index out; sometimes only specific posts. Sometimes entire tags were replaced. It was ugly. I called godaddy, my hosting provider, and they said the damage was extensive and to…

Thankfully, I have an excellent editor. Okay, a persistent editor. Okay, a LUCKY editor. FINE. I’m the editor. And I’m super lucky that I…
