Revamping the Facebook group a bit! It started out as a promo group primarily but I am starting to shift it to more broader small web topics. Each day will present a new theme. There will be Meme Mondays to kick off the week, sharing relatable small web and old web memes. Tuesday Tips will be guide and resource sharing days, things that are generally helpful or teach something new. Webring Wednesdays are Webring feature days. Thread Thursdays are interesting prompts to spark interesting discussions. Flashback Fridays are throwback days to old web websites and social networks of the past. Showcase Saturdays are the new website feature days, and Self Promo Sundays will be all about encouraging members to share their websites and projects they’ve been working on lately. I think this will add so much more value to the group. I was getting the vibe the web features were getting a bit repetitive and it was time for some different posts that can spark discussions and keep the group active. I am also attempting to schedule these posts to auto share in other relevant groups to hopefully drive more interest, and thus, growing both the group and hopefully the movement. Still trying to brainstorm other strategies to get the group out there and draw in more interest, but it is growing slowly and steadily. 🙂

In other news, I’ve finally recovered from my second illness in the span of a month lol. I hope to god that’s it. I’m sick of getting sick. I blame work for this last one. I am around people all day and wouldn’t be surprised if I got it from a customer or a coworker. Several of my coworkers are sick right now too. I’m taking higher doses of vitamin C in attempts to strengthen my immune system, on top of taking multivitamins. Hopefully that raises my defenses a bit so I don’t catch anything else. I’m also attempting to do a Spring detox with diatomaceous earth. I have never done a proper parasite cleanse before and I feel like I probably could use it. I have a lot of food intolerances and wouldn’t be surprised if parasites have something to do with that. I also love sushi and sushi is unfortunately known to have parasites. You don’t notice them in your system until they start wrecking havoc in certain areas, and, well, my health isn’t the worst but it isn’t the greatest either. I need to heal my gut and get on a solid juicing routine too, and make a habit of intermitted fasting. Just need a good cleanse.

Another update and exciting life milestone, my husband and I got our vehicle fully paid off today!! We got a pretty hefty income tax return this year and it gave us enough to finally pay off our debts. We have been paying off that vehicle for nearly 6 years. It feels so good to be debt free for a little while before we get our first mortgage. We also just bought new phones. We both opted for the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, primarily because Google phones still allow custom OS to be installed and I am going to put us both on Graphene OS. It is kind of funny, that the only phone Graphene OS works on are Google phones. I hate Google, but, if I can degoogle a google phone and install a privacy oriented operating system onto it, I’ll get it. I used to be loyal to Samsung for years, but they’ve locked their bootloader so now it is very difficult, if not impossible to unlock nowadays. So Google it is. I did really want Samsung’s camera features for photography, so that is what I am most disappointed about, but the Google Pixel 9 Pro still has an amazing camera on it, and selfie camera. I also think the AI photo editing tools are really cool, though, I am not entirely sure if they will work once I install graphene OS. As long as the quality of the pictures are still good, that’s the main thing.

Anyways, tomorrow I’m going to finish up post schedules for the page and group and try and get everything scheduled over on tumblr as well. 🙂 Once I have everything all scheduled I might do some more tinkering on my website. I really want to revamp the entire Cottage at some point. There’s so much I want to do around here but I never have the time to do it all. I have a million things on the go always and sometimes it feels like I’m never actually getting anything done. xD I said not that long ago I was going to get my shop set up, then I started working on Candace and Cyrus, now Cyrus isn’t completely done and I’m already jumping onto other things. I just really need to focus and finish something lmao. God. I feel like I have to have undiagnosed ADHD or something. xD It’s bad. ANYWAYS. That’s it for my ramblings for tonight!
