Day 1 Sans FB

mlerulesIt's not that I miss it in particular, but it's fascinating how thoughtless clicking on the FB phone icon has become. Several times today I've realized I've done it, only to close the app immediately. It's easy enough to avoid on the laptop. I've closed the FB and WWF tabs, so they're not there to tempt me - or to click on automatically. Sure, I COULD do something about the buttons on my phone, but I have a hard enough time getting the buttons to go where I want on my home screen that I'm loathe to move 'em and risk upsetting the entire applecart.
If'n I end up bailing on FB/IG altogether, then I'll bunch them somewhere off my home page (or at least stick 'em in a folder so it'll take two keystrokes to get at 'em instead of just one). I've emailed some today, and sent a Thank You card, and toyed w/the idea of sending postcards without actually getting off my duff and doing so. (Rolls eyes and wonders what's up w/THAT.)
Since it's a typical Fall PacNW day of wet and grey and cool, I've interspersed taking care of things and stuff with spells of sipping hot tea and reading a good book*. Not sure what I'm missing on-line, but at least - and thankfully - it's not niggling at me.
