1011th Friday Blog Roundup

Still processing election feelings and don’t have a lot to say.

*******

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.

The Barreness captures the quiet before the results. We now know how things turned out, and while her statement worked during election day, it’s working in the aftermath, too: “I feel too many feels, thinking too many thoughts.”

The Next 15000 Days received a compliment, which she recounts after a thoughtless comment from another person, and it sums up a life well-lived: “I would like to be like Klara. She doesn’t wait for anyone – she just does things and knows how to actively enjoy her free time.”

Lastly, Finding a Different Path celebrated her Halloween anniversary, and I love their tradition of filling their yard with fake tombstones — a new one every year. And we get to enjoy pictures from some of their other traditions. Seeing this post was a sweet moment in a hard week.

The roundup to the Roundup: Post-election quiet. 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 November 1 – 8) and not the blog’s main URL. Not understanding why I’m asking you what you found this week.
