Almost 48 Hours

Making cider in October

Well, so far, no tremors or sweats.  I haven't run out of my house screaming for someone to talk to.  Social media deprivation going okay.  I am working on a short post to keep in my one hour a day commitment for online time.

Yesterday, I didn't even go online.  I can't say I have any big revelations about it.  The only thing I did notice was I frequently thought of pictures I should take and upload to instagram... otherwise, no biggie.  My small circle will miss a month out of the peep hole into my home life.  I try to keep my instagram connections a small circle so please don't be offended if I am fail to accept you "following" me :P

And I must mention that I really miss texting my sister-in-law Cowboyswife.  We have a lot to say throughout the day and I'm bummed I can't have my running conversations with her.  So I was forced to call her in the evening.  It was nice, but strangely I enjoy being able to text her things as I think of them.  I do appreciate her company, but there are some great things about texting that I miss.

I think as the week progresses I will feel more acutely the loss of texting as I do text my family a bit as well.  It has been a good way to get little updates from my mom and send pictures of my daily life to her (though she NEVER sends me pictures of her day ;)

So I need to make up a plan for when I return to social media and that is really what will make the most difference I assume.  Boundaries.  I need to limit my online time so that I do not eat my minutes or hours away with my children viewing useless, although humorous, links to YouTube videos :)
