Someone has to have made that a song title sometime, haven't they?
I'm in SA getting a lot of yard work done. The weather has been cool and comfortable, so I'm really enjoying that.
I'm tracking, reading, and doing morning pages.
I have a ton of story ideas lurking on the edge of my brain. I need to coax them out.
Last time I was down here, I got a notice a couple days into my new cellular payment cycle that I'd used half my data allowance (we killed the landline and DSL in SA to save $100 a month). I upped my data to 6G instead of 4G, and I think I'll be fine. I have to see if there are any restrictions in my agreement on the number of times I can increase and decrease my data limits. I don't mind paying the $10 for the extra 2G if I'm using it, but I don't like wasting it.
I'm getting frustrated with my social media sources, and, at the moment, Facebook is the worst. I,m seeing maybe 10% original content in my feed. The rest is recipes, motivational placards, and silly sayings. I know it hurts people's feelings to complain about it, and I'm sometimes guilty of the same thing I'm complaining about. I also realize these motivational sayings are frequently as much a personal boost solely for the person posting them, and I can sympathize with that. But. Sigh.
For the week ahead:
- Track, read, do morning pages
- More yard work
- There must be some other things...

Agree with you on Facebook, but I don't see it changing. I have friends who post ten or 15 'Shares' in a row. Makes me crazy. Well, crazier.
What are your morning pages? Journaling?
My FB problem is the opposite. Seems like about 98% of what I get is NEGATIVE. Bombings, dead people, fighting, frustration, angry politics, gloom and doom.
I have enough bad shit in my head, I don't need to add more, so I've tried to be 'positive', but it's annoying everyone else - not just you two.
I'll stop.
Tammy, you're not one of my "offenders" and didn't annoy me. You rarely show up in my feed. I'm told that's because you and I don't share many friends in common, but I don't see how that's correct because I get posts from other people who also don't share many friends with me. I have you, Jean and Wendy set up to get everything. Maybe your posts just get drown in the thousand and one grumpy cats and favorite musical group posts that are showing in my feed lately.
I have my newsfeed settings locked down to only photos and status updates, and a lot of people are set at Only Important. That's cut down on some of the fluff. Some other people (none of you) I've taken off my newsfeed entirely. I wish we could filter content. It's the cheesy decadent foods I don't want to see, mostly because that make me want to eat them! Even so, I would never tell anyone what or what not to post.
Yeah, the recipes make me hungry, too.
I agree about not telling people what to post or not post. I just wish Facebook's tools were more robust. I completed a survey not too long ago, and I provided exactly that feedback to them, Stephen.
