Moving

We’ve moved houses recently and unpacking my stuff again was like taking memory lane for the past 10 or so years.

I’ve opened my boxes and went “My childhood :,D”. I’ve grown up with these books, and I’m so grateful to all these amazing authors who’ve made me fall in love with reading.

Unfortunately, my Kindle got lost with the other stuff. So sad. I was pretty sure I packed it, but it’s not with my stuff. Going back to the old house to hunt for it. I hate reading on my phone, but I will have to deal for now.

Fortuity #3 is chugging along nicely. I’m doing NaNo this month, so it should be fun and hectic as hell. Good times.

Hope you’ve all had a great Halloween! And candy. Lots of candy.

Small Update

It’s been a while.

Do a backup.

I’ve never had technology randomly break on me. Unless you count that one time I dropped my phone on the pavement—its screen cracked, of course. It still worked.

Technology is my best friend. We understand each other. We help each other. So, imagine my surprise when my Mac screen turned black. I fully expected it to turn back on when I pressed the power button.

It didn’t.

This happened around a week ago. I had scheduled an appointment with Genius Bar today, and it (thankfully!) turned out it to be a software issue, since an image restore made it work again.

I didn’t have any Time Machine backups—I only used iCloud sync with Documents and Desktop, as well as Dropbox for Scrivener. Everything is still there, but I guess this taught me to always do a backup, because setting up applications and settings again are a major pain and time sink. But I’ve never been more grateful my current writing stuff is backed up in Dropbox, because for a little while, I wasn’t sure if those iCloud files would carry over.

So this is a reminder, too, in case you haven’t:

Shit happens. Always do a backup.

I’m Ready

I feel like a kid in the candy store whenever I buy stationery. Sad about this one, it only has a few pages left. I have new one that’s also really pretty, but I think it has a different quote.

I’m ready for Fortuity book #3.

When you need sleep

Case 1:

command+z, command+z, command +z. Save, dammit.

Why does the text keep disappearing?

…Oh.

 

Case 2:

The toaster pops back out of the toaster.

OMG.

Case 3:

thinks: Sofa.

types: Soda

Maybe I was thirsty.

Case 4:

thinks: intoxicating

types: intoximating

intoxicating + estimating?
