A Sense of Doubt blog post #3977 - Extra post today because Chris cannot count

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3977 - Extra post today because Chris cannot count


This is an extra post because I cannot count.

I write out a schedule for blog posts as I have mentioned before. I write out these schedules a couple of months in advance.

Between 12/29/25 and 12/30/25, I skipped entry #3969, jumping from #3968 to #3970, causing these schedules to be off by -1 until April 7th, 2026.

At first, I considered editing the sheets, but there is not a lot of space to write the new numbers. I edited at first, but then I contemplated writing out three new schedule sheets as each one contains approximately a month. But that's a lot of rewriting the post numbers, the days since Mom died, days since Dad died, and the planned topics of many posts, as the main reason to write out these schedules is to have the post numbers and days since all written out ahead.

And then it occurred to me that I could just add an extra post to fix the numbering problem so that the schedules do not have to be rewritten. There's no correlation between the days since Mom died and the post numbers anymore because of all the daily Bowie posts I made, though I aligned total posts on the blog with the post numbers years ago.

So, this is my extra post to get back on track.

Mainly, I am writing this text for myself, as I am not pushing this post to social media.

If you managed to find it, thanks for reading.

These days since are the same as post #3976 because this post was published the same day as that one.

- Days ago: MOM = 3840 days ago & DAD = 494 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
