Time for a Recharge
Today was a nice break after yesterday. Between all the steeming and market checking and trying to remain sane and help others do the same, and work-work and being a social creature and and crappy instant food I ate and beer I drank right before bed, yesterday must have taken a toll on me.
Today I rolled around in bed. I woke up at 8 and tried to start my day but collapsed back into bed around 10 and slept until 3. That never happens. Then I woke up and tried meditating for a bit. I spent the whole day listening to music, watching old Star Trek and reading books. How long has it been since I’ve done that! It was awesome! I don’t think I checked steemit once after I woke up the second time.
Yesterday was truly awesome steeming though. I got some incredible comments, almost 5 pages worth! It made me feel like a big deal but more importantly it let me know that what I write sometimes reaches others which is why I write in the first place. Major thanks to @gillianpearce for consistently leaving wonderful comments on my posts. She’s new here and a pleasure to meet so I just wanted to say something (cough...follow her!). And huge thanks to everyone else who bothers to share your own ideas and experience in response to the posts I spend more time and effort on (there were two yesterday, the second was my favorite to write in a while, perhaps I shouldn’t have posted itnso soon after the first as it was pretty heavy).
I’ll be back to my hardcore steeming tomorrow. After a little browsing I’m off to rest again. I’m glad to know all of you and glad we made it through yesterday, of course we did!

Aw. Thanks @whatamidoing. I'm basking in glory here, wondering if I should retire now while I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy. 😍
Hoorah for you for having a lie in and spending the day listening to music, watching old Star Trek and reading books. 🏆 There's not enough chilling goes on in this world as far as I'm concerned.
Just keep feeling warm and fuzzy, why not, right?
Following @gillianpearce. Thanks for the recommendation!
Following back @soul-thru-da-ink. And not because I do follow for follow. I don't! 😁
Thanks for the compliment. :)
Welcome back after a break. <3
Hey @whatamidoing, found you via a comment on an old post from 3-months back. Here's what you said:
I have more than 700 but I found out from steemitspecticles.com that 400 of them have never interacted with me. Seems like there must be a lot of data mining going on and a lot of people who follow everyone they can.
I have decided to stop putting all my effort into steemit and focus more on writing stories that are primarily shared elseware. I don't want to waste my time with posts that I hope others to see and get no views so my writing at steemit has become more for catharsis and for connecting with others than for sharing my best work.
And following you because this resonated with me. Struggling with the same issue...
Anyway, glad you had a relaxed day away from Steemit. We all need that at times! Take it easy!
Hahha wow. Well a lot has changed, I’ve been putting a lot of effort into steemit now, I get some attention though not always on the posts I’d like. I found that I’d i focused on making the kind of friends I want to make here, everything else kind of works itself out. So I Steem almost next full time but I am a lot more random and relaxed about the quality of my posts. Some are gold, some are crap, and I try to treat payout as an afterthought. When I feel like writing fiction, I’ll do that, but I actually enjoy searching for new ways to engage with people here.
Glad you finally found me ;-)
Sounds great! Keep doing your thing, and see you around here :)
I need like six months of those days.
(Btw I believe there is a typo at the beginning of this post. You used “and” twice in a row.
So that’s where you’ve been! And since you’ve been gone English grammar has changed, we can now use “and and” in a sentence.
In a nutshell, yes.
Good good to know know.
Yup, everyone needs a little break now and then! Sometimes, you forget how that feels!
Welcome back! :) Steem on!
Did you miss us while you were gallivanting?
Of course I did, but I wanted to come back energized
Did something happen yesterday that I'm unaware of? I was kind of busy and also didn't steem much (I collected the wallet and replied to comments and may have upvoted a couple of things and that was pretty much it).
Sounds like you needed the break anyway :D
Crypto crashed! Hahah you didn’t know? It’s since made half a recovery but it was really ugly for a day or two.
We all need a break sometimes I guess. Even if I am a machine, I do too!
Nope, I don't pay attention to that kind of thing (aside from cursory glances at the things that pop up in the sidebar on busy when collecting the wallet because the button is under them) XD
Are you a mechanical pineapple then?
It is good to take a break from time to time, of course more we write and work, more interactions we receive, but sometimes it is just a lil bit too much.
I’m back! And now I’m unstoppable! Ahhhhh!
Good work... Hope to learn from you
