Sometimes You Need a Reset

[COVID Day Five Hundred Something]

I mean, there are some amazing reasons behind writing every single day. Even if every day isn’t a brilliant omg I can’t believe you said that day.

And then there are reasons to, well, NOT.

Moving across the pond – that’s a solid reason for not writing every single day.

Or, at least, not publishing.

Which I’ve obviously not done.

I’m building a new site.

But also I’m building new daily habits and rituals.

And shifting away from… here.

If you’re keen to see what I’m doing on a daily basis, I’m way more active on twitter, twitch, and youtube and a bit more active on facebook and instagram.

But here?

Not so much.

Lately.

I’d like to get back to writing daily. To even publishing daily, sure.

Today is not that day.

Don’t read this as fatalistic or depressive – I’m doing oke.

I’m prioritizing self care and compassion while I and the family settle into our new slice of the world in America.

I hope you’re taking care of yourself, too.

xoxo,
~Rain.

Holy Crap

[Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Twenty Three]

It’s been like ten forevers since I’ve blogged.

Oke, but seriously, I am sorry I’ve been missing in action, but also it’s been #LikeThat

THAT stressful.

THAT busy.

THAT low priority.

Also, the site’s been broken – 503 – a LOT.

And then the Add New and / or Edit Post were broken.

It’s just been super frustrating and with The Actual Move happening, well, blogging was way WAY down on the priority list.

I’ll catch up over the next few days, but … yeah… LOTS of music videos.

I can’t wait to tell you about closing on the house with a power of attorney for my partner. Or how our brand new basement flooded. Or how I’m still mourning Zoe. Or how I REALLY want a corgi these days.

But that might also be me still mourning Zoe.

That’s another thing.

This site, GroningenRain.nl, is going away – cause the owner will no longer live in the Netherlands.

#HelaasPindakaas

But first the news:

The positive side of GroningenRain.nl going away is that something, obviously, needs to take its place – which means REBUILD!! !
