A Sense of Doubt blog post #3773 - GOING FISHIN' - "Sort-Of" Blog Vacation until July Fourth

Taking "sort of" a blog vacation at least to July Fourth, which will be the tenth anniversary of my Mother's death.

Going into low power mode until then with simple shares, THAT ONE THING, and reprints.

I have a few original posts scheduled between now and then, but mainly I need to focus on grad school, my one job, and stuff around the house while trying to figure out how to acknowledge ten years since Mom died.

I have a big pre-practicum for grad school Friday of this week (the 20th) through Monday (23rd), which will keep me online all day and limit my free time for other things.

There will be daily content, just in low power mode.

Thanks for tuning in.



LOW POWER MODE: I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

- 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.

I am off.

I have "gone fishin'" as I like to say in these times.

I will be putting the blog into remote, low power mode with a series of THAT ONE THING posts for the next week plus as I travel.

Surely, when I return, I will do posts on the travels. But not during.

Meanwhile, contemplate that genius image and text above.

Geoff Darrow's brilliant SHAOLIN COWBOY.

He learned that in church??

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3109 - Gone Fishin' - Vacation 2023 - August 23 - September 05th

I am leaving on vacation soon, so I am taking a blog vacation.

When I take a blog vacation, I pre-load a bunch of posts and schedule them to publish,  and when I have a free moment, I push them to social media.

I am starting the vacation a few days before I leave for Michigan, and I am ending it a few days after I return.

As I have done before, I am going to have single image posts of THAT ONE THING, reprints, and easy shares. I may not just rotate those. In fact, I am nearly certain to do a series of single image posts first. Not sure yet how many.

It's also worth noting that some of these "vacations" were not ones in which I was gone. In fact, last year when I went on my Writing Retreat, I continued to make posts about my time away.

But this year, I am not taking a "break" from tough posts as I did from August 31st to October 14th in 2021, I am just going on vacation to Michigan to see my family and friends.

So, it starts here with the "gone fishin'" image that I got from John Scalzi and have used so many times I created a gone fishin' category to keep track of it.

According to the category, I have gone fishin' five times. Here they are:

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2563 - ANNOUNCING BLOG VACATION II 2022

Blog Vacation Two 2022 - Vacation II 

I took a "Blog Vacation" in 2021 from August 31st to October 14th. I did not stop posting daily; I just put the blog in a low power rotation and mostly kept it off social media. Like that vacation, for this second blog vacation now in 2022, I am alternating between reprints, shares with little to no commentary, and THAT ONE THING, which is an image from the folder with a few thoughts scribbled along with it. I am alternating these three modes as long as the vacation lasts (not sure how long), pre-publishing the posts, and not always pushing them to social media.

I am taking another "vacation" from the blog.

Though vacation is a relative term given that there will still be a post every day.

I need a break from the production line.

I mean, after all, we did just buy a house and will be moving while I am trying to wrap up two semesters at two schools.

SIGH.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2433 - BLOG VACATION 2021 COLLECTED

Like I wrote here, last year: 

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2387 - MY BLOG VACATION 2021 - GONE FISHIN'

And so, it's time for a vacation.

Because of my jobs (yes, JOBS), I rarely have times when there's NO WORK just less work.

Because I did not have PARK SUMMER CLASSES, I did have some time in June this year with no classes running, but I had PREP and a training, so I was not work free.

Basically, I am only work free for the last two weeks of December and very beginning of January every year.

I had planned a trip from Thursday, September 02 through the following Wednesday, September 08. That trip has been canceled because of the DELTA VARIANT and the fact that the destination -- KC, MO -- is a major hot spot for COVID infections.

But that's no reason not to still take a vacation.

I had already planned a blog vacation, and so I am still taking.

With my commitment to DAILY POSTS, I am never ceasing my blog work -- unless I ever decided to stop for some reason or am incapacitated, and even then I would catch up once conscious -- and so I vacation just means that I set up simple and easy posts ahead of time, publish them ahead of time, and for the most part do not push them through to social media.

And so, today starts that vacation for the next 20 days. Basically, three weeks. I am going into LOW POWER MODE.

For the next three weeks, I am going to alternate BLOG REPRINTS (both this blog and the T-shirts blog), old stuff from the archive that are simple shares (and already set up), and THAT ONE THING, which will probably just be some graphic from my folder of 3500+ items and a few lines of content about why I am sharing it.

So that's the dealio.

This is the last social media pushed post for three weeks (unless I change my mind).

Thanks for tuning in.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2408 - BACK TO CAMPUS: First day of School, Daily Schedules are Hard, Back to Blog Vacation until October 15th


Hello.

Yesterday, I returned from my 20-day blog summer vacation when I was supposedly going to write every day on various fiction projects for at least 15 minutes, get ahead on original content blogs, prepare for the start of LCC school while concurrently facilitating classes at Park University, and get some much needed R&R self-care time.

All of that did not happen as I planned. Too much work, too MANY MEETINGS, and so only some of those goas were achieved.

I had planned to take off from work -- except for minimal Park work -- the entire Labor Day weekend from Friday 2109.03 through Monday 2109.06. And though I did only work partial days, I pretty much worked every one of those days for at least an hour or two if not longer.

I managed to have SOME selfcare R&R time during my blog vacation but not enough, and it was all "stay-cation." I feel in desperate need of GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I worked way too much.

I did not work ahead on blogs of original content as planned.

I wrote some fiction but not enough and not daily.

But I did catch up on all my outstanding critiques for the writing workshop I took. I invested productive and smart time in preparation for Fall quarter 2021 but not enough time, and so I am facing a serious and crushing weight of that work as it hovers above me.

And though I came out of blog vacation yesterday with a new and original post, a new BACK TO SCHOOL music mix and a collection of all four of the versions of the "Everybody Knows" musical mixes, I quickly fell off the wagon again.

I am writing this post on Saturday 2109.25 and back dating it to Tuesday 2109.23.

For a few days, I stubbornly held fast to the idea that the blog vacation was over and that I was back to daily posting of if not original content, then curated content, and all the weekly features, and just my usual mode of operation.

But this week has kicked my butt. So many things, doing as much as I can but it's not enough.

And so last night after walking the dogs, because despite all the things, this job was only skipped once, I realized that the smart thing to do is to go back into the vacation mode.

What does "vacation mode" mean to a daily blog that still is published daily?

A daily schedule is a grind.

Given how much I work, it is almost impossible to the kind of daily completely original content that I want to do.

And so, some would ask, then why be daily?

I have found that the daily schedule keeps me producing and that I can benefit, as I am here, from Blogger allowing me to post backwards in time, so even when four days go by without blog entries, which is the current status (and my worst is ten days), then I can catch up.

And in theory, the more easy posts I do of simple shares, THAT ONE THING, reprints, and so on, I can bank time for more complex posts filled with original content. I have current plans to blog more originally about growth mindset, my top five rock 'n roll bands of all time, fighting misinformation, how many republicans are wrong about Critical Race Theory, the truth of Antifa, whether JK Rowling is really a terf, and an emphatic plea to cancel the phrase "it is what it is" from he lexicon.

AND SO, I feel I can better meet these goals -- and find time for some fiction writing and to get in a regular groove -- catch up on email, get ahead on the blog, and finish my school work, if I take another blog vacation in which I rotate a simple share, a reprint, and THAT ONE THING.

I do have three posts currently planned that are outside the blog vacation -- two music posts and a post about upcoming film of Dune. If I hold to this schedule, these posts will be published 09/27, 09/29, and 10/04 respectively.

Thank you for reading.

Back to LOW POWER MODE for another 20 days.

Blog Vacation 2021 Post 21

In this blog vacation, I am alternating between reprints, shares with little to no commentary, and THAT ONE THING, which is an image from the folder with a few thoughts scribbled along with it. I am alternating these three modes for twenty days, pre-publishing the posts, and not pushing any of them to social media.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2135 - GOING FISHING 2020 - ALIGNMENTS - LOW POWER MODE - THAT ONE THING

INAUGURATION COUNTDOWN

29 DAYS to inauguration

Okay, so, time for a vacation.

When I say vacation, there's some explanation in order. I post every day, and in this current mode I have posted at least once daily, consecutively, without stopping for 1997 days as I started HEY MOM two days after my Mom passed away. And "at least once daily" because for a while I did two posts a day: a daily HEY MOM and a DAILY BOWIE.

Now, there's nothing to stop from just pausing the blog, ceasing the daily posting trend. Even though I am not longer doing daily HEY MOM posts, I am still very dedicated to posting on a daily schedule. It matters to me. I like the creative outlet, especially when it really is creative, but also I feel like I have made a promise to myself, and I do not want to let myself down. I do not pretend that I have that many regular readers who are actually able to follow me on a daily basis, so I am not under any illusions that I am letting down any actual daily readers (though it's a nice fantasy).

But I need a break. I need to put my efforts into other things like rest and reading as well writing other things, including even some special blog posts. LOW POWER MODE is something I invented a while back to invoke when work gets really busy -- GRADING HELL. But I have also used it to take a vacation as I did two years ago when I literally took a vacation and went home to Michigan, even though I did not call it LOW POWER MODE then as I had not invented that mode yet.

So for at least the next two weeks and maybe three, I am going to keep this blog in LOW POWER MODE, which means lots of shares, some THAT ONE THING, and no WEEKLY HODGE PODGE or weekly comic book Sunday. I may resurrect more draft posts from the archive, though Blogger has made that harder with this new version (which still sucks and is very BUGGY). There will be reprints and straight up shares and very little of me writing new stuff for a while, unless I get a burst of inspiration or change my mind. I am targeting January 9th as the return with a HODGE PODGE either three weeks in the making or just one culled from that week.    

So, that's the deal. Sort of a vacation. I will load the posts in advance. I already have most of the rest of this week planned and more or less complete. Tomorrow is the 2000 days post, but I am going to keep it short.

But I do not want to leave you wanting, reader, in case this post attracted your attention. I have been planning to do a post of these alignment grids for a long time.

So here's some alignment grids. I wish I had some better images of some as the text is not always readable. There are  THREE versions from Lord of the Rings, four if you count the Hobbit one. It is interesting to see the placement of Sauron. I will label some.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1038 - Gone Fishin' - again - San Diego

Hi Mom,

As I shared the other day, I fell behind because of a trip to San Diego.

So this is just a post to mark that event. Between travel and two sets of final grades, I have let the blog slide.

I may catch up with re-posted content as a way to catch up quickly as I am posting this entry from forward in time on Monday May 14 (1805.14).

I may not even push all the entries through to social media. Like this one, which will just live on Google+.

For now, final grades to do...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Reflect and connect.

Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.

I miss you so very much, Mom.

Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.
