Text of the page (random words):
brain from that job and remember your pace the same goes for marriage or any breakup you don t have to figure out your next move at the relationship s speed you need to move at your own speed if you ve been making family building decisions quickly to be ready for the next cycle when you take a step back you also need to take a step back from that decision making pace see if it resonates with you july 19 2026 no comments 1092nd friday blog roundup by mel i have one kid back the chickienob came home this week and while a little jet lagged and definitely missing handling rare books for research purposes and going to medieval sites i am thrilled that i can bother her in real time quentin is also happy to have a new source of backrubs and treats long story short i didn t need to be worried because she totally rocked the experience but i m so glad she s home for a few weeks before heading off again stop procrastinating go make your backups don t have regrets seriously stop what you re doing for a moment it will take you fifteen minutes tops but you will have peace of mind for days and days it s the gift to yourself that keeps on giving as always add any new thoughts to the friday backup post and peruse new comments to find out about methods plug ins and devices that help you quickly back up your data and accounts and now the blogs but first second helpings of the posts that appeared in the open comment thread last week to read the description before clicking over please return to the open thread none sniff okay now my choices this week please circle the wagons around no kidding in nz whose husband died after a long illness she explains we were together since our university days we grew up together we shared everything together we learned and explored ideas activities and the world in ways that we might not have done apart i am who i am because of him but now i have to learn to be alone alone but together with a network of friends and family around the world sending a hug lastly a half baked life writes about an energy shift change after change after change i loved the story about finding the front of the pin and also think it s a sign from the universe but this made me laugh and cringe and feels like a metaphor for something i was cleaning out the fish tank in the office and it seemed like everyone was standing around chatting completely oblivious to the fact that my hands were full of fish poop and that it would have been nice to step in and help me out may we all find helpers when we re coated in fish poop the roundup to the roundup i have one kid back your weekly backup nudge and lots of great posts to read so what did you find this week please use a permalink to the blog post written between july 10 july 17 and not the blog s main url not understanding why i m asking you what you found this week read the original open thread post here july 17 2026 no comments best books of june by mel as i say every month i m shamelessly stealing this idea from jessica lahey she has a recurring monthly date where she reviews all the books she reads that month book reviews are important for authors and i want to get better at doing this so i m going to review them here and also online but i m going to do it a little differently i m only going to review the stuff i really liked i don t see a reason to spend my time writing about something i didn t love it s just using up more of my energy so only positive reviews these are the books i liked or mostly liked from june the last graduate naomi novik the second book in a so far great series that ending you kind of knew that was going to happen but it s still a gut punch what a great story it can be slow going at times because of the density dialogue speeds things along but it s still a perfect story the magicians lev grossman sometimes i m in a continuous read of the three magicians books sometimes i m in a continuous listen this time i m going through the audio books again i love the narrator i love how he captures the way quentin changes and sometimes stays the same over time these are my favourite books acts of cupidity e s drake i adored this book it has major good omens vibes fantastic world building lovable characters the mystery is not much of a mystery but who cares because the relationships are really the heart of the book i ordered the second book in the series the moment i finished close to death anthony horowitz mr horowitz always writes a fantastic book this one was super clever with great character development to boot i love that there are horowitz books in the world which never disappoint and leave you knowing you spent time with a great story what did you read last month july 15 2026 1 comment entering photos by mel the iphone does a great job of bubbling up photos you ve forgotten about through its memories feature if you keep swiping left on your phone you ll find a small set of widgets and one is a photos widget that creates tiny slideshows from the same date three years ago today or around a theme people with animals one night i was looking at it when i realized as i moved my phone that it felt like i was in the image it was a picture i had taken days earlier of a fountain next to the tower bridge and it looks like you could walk behind the fountain it was so strange the picture looked three dimensional i swiped again and a new picture appeared with the same effect it was the wolvog cuddling beorn and i teared up because it looked like i could touch both of them the wolvog looked three dimensional and beorn looked so tangible that he could have been alive i had to google to figure out what happened because the beorn picture was clearly old it s something called spatial scene and you can turn it on for any photo on your phone i was even able to use it on a picture of my grandparents from 45 years ago that i keep on my phone you just tap the hexagon icon in the top right corner and it temporarily changes the image into a spatial scene when you re ready to go back to normal you click it again it is strangely emotional especially looking at pictures of people or pets who are gone and feeling you could touch them again have you played with the feature july 14 2026 no comments microblog monday 591 master packing list part 2 by mel not sure what microblogmondays is read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too i ve been using a master packing list for years it has everything i usually pack for every type of trip i hit duplicate delete the things i don t need for the upcoming trip and then cross off items as they go into the suitcase the app i had been using changed to a subscription model years ago but as long as i didn t update the app i was able to keep using it for free unfortunately when i changed phones it installed an updated version on the new device this is when i learned that i could recreate the list in the notes app change the whole thing to a checklist look in the bottom left order for the checklist symbol and then keep duplicating it by pressing down my finger in the table of contents screen that shows all of your notes until the duplicate menu popped up free option that works even better than the old option because i can check a box and easily see which items are still unchecked i may still forget to pack pants but it won t be the app s fault are you also doing microblogmondays add your link below the list will be open until tuesday morning link to the post itself not your blog url don t know what that means please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog s main url only personal blogs can be added to the list i will remove any posts connected to
