Today we’re going to do a quick Blaugust check in since we’re about halfway done, as well as some random life updates I haven’t put together into full blog posts yet. It’s also a grab bag because I’m still pretty exhausted – enough so that I canceled my stream for the night.

I am doing my best to have a rest day.

I’m hitting my goal of a full Blaugust this time, but I am starting to struggle with the time. Finding things to write about is no problem, but every brief post wants to be a normal post and every normal post wants to be an essay. Add in editing and finding pics, and the time does fly.

I know I said I was going to be less picky about my posts as an experiment, and I have been! But I legitimately enjoy editing, finding pics and screenshots, making the design of the page appealing, and writing the alt text. Skimping on any of those isn’t really giving myself a present, it’s blocking myself from part of the process I get joy from.
