~ The Show Must Go On ~
I have been gone for almost two weeks now when i look back on things. My boy broke my laptop charger and I have been scrambling to get a new one.
1
I ordered online and the first one was not going to work. The thing is... i needed to get a charger that works to see if my computer is actually broken too or not.
I have had it full on with Dad Duty lately and not being able to get onto Hive has been devastating. I do a lot to manage and curate... but it wasn't until I had this 'break' in normal activity to realize how busy I really am over here.

I have many days of posts to go through in multiple communities and I feel so overwhelmed I don't know where to start. Fortunately, the second charger I ordered was a match and it came in the mail pretty quickly. So, I count my blessings. My computer isn't fully broken and it's not fully functional so I might be looking around for an affordable replacement.

It's not clear if many even noticed I was gone for a while. It's also not clear if many noticed the dip in OCD support since that is the main curation group I work for.

Hopefully, things will get back to normal as soon as possible and hopefully, we won't have any extra detours from normality. But, I can't make any promises. While yes, it's been nice to have a break... it's been a monkey on my back and a cloud hanging over my head waiting to get back into the swing of things.

I may be looking for a curator or two for when/if these types of event happen again in the future. Let me know in the comments if you might be interested in such a responsibility. I have a couple of people in mind already but before I approach them and ask I figure volunteers is even better!

I made this post mostly as an update but also because I found my camera I had lost in the move and I did take a few shots from the last and only real snow we had here this year so far. They aren't the best shots... but I loved the minimalism of the images and the white-out effect of so much snow! I didn't edit or crop any of these shots. They were all taken with my shitty point and shoot outdated Nikkon digital camera.
So, now that this update is out of the way, it's back to work for me to get caught up! hahaha Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read and look at my post. Cheers
I totally know that feeling. I used to get so overwhelmed just trying to catch up after the weekend, so I can't even imagine missing two weeks. That would be rough.
I bet grading papers can feel the same way! hahaha
Yup, toddlers breaking things, not new to me! 🤣 I had my lil brother once broke the laptop monitor by closing the lid with the mouse in between... crazy. But you know, kids don't know any better and they don't even realize what they have done haha.
Really good thing the only broken is the charger and you found one that works.
Also I like those photographs! I thought this was mainly about that even haha.
No stress, take your time.
Thanks for all you do for this community!
Oh @castleberry friend!... I was surprised by your absence!... Now I understand!... I also had a mishap with my main PC two weeks ago, fortunately I had a small backup laptop for some of my things and that helped me stay connected... I hope everything gets resolved soon!... I send a big hug and my best wishes to you and your loved ones!... ;)

I’ve noticed your absence even though I haven’t been posting. I’m still keeping up with things. The “responsibility” “obligation” “guilt” whatever you call it can be overwhelming. Glad to see you picked up (found 🙂) your camera. And glad you’re back in business
I have noticed your absence and it is very noticeable, you are an essential part of Hive! But I understand what you are going through. I have also had difficulties this month. My mother sprained her foot and I am looking after her and doing the things she used to do until she gradually recovers.
I also understand the intense work, since my small team and I created a community there has been a lot to learn and work on, I understand you. But I am glad that you have managed to get the charger. Don't be overwhelmed... little by little! Big hug!🤗
