Hi, I’m Allie. I'm a 20-something something. echodrift is my blog for me to talk about whatever I want to. Sometimes it doesn't make sense.
Last week was a nightmare through and through. I’m having a hard time comprehending what all happened but that might be the migraine talking. Migraine? What migraine? That will be at the end. First, everything that happened BEFORE. This is basically the extended version of all the twittering I’ve done lately.
My husband’s explanation as to how there came to be a good sized hole (pictured) in the dashboard of our car. His solution? Fix it with duct tape! (Not pictured.)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this site and what I do on the web. I haven’t done a lot to get the word out about it. I don’t think I have that many readers and I often neglect to write for months at a time. And let’s just not mention the fact that I haven’t touched the layout in a long time. These thoughts have been rattling around in my head for a while and they’re probably still a bit jumbled up.
This post continues on to talk about my writing, why I write, and my social anxiety.
This story begins on a Friday afternoon. Last Friday afternoon. I got home from work and my husband says something like “Your computer is doing something weird.” I sat down to look at it and yes, it was doing something weird. Avast kept deleting the same file over and over and over. I began to have a very bad feeling because that most likely indicated that there was something nasty recreating that file that the antivirus program wasn’t catching. Spoiler warning: I was right and things got even worse.
I’ve had a lot on my mind lately but just haven’t felt like writing about it. Some of it is work related so I don’t really feel comfortable talking about it publicly. One positive thing to say about work is that I finally got my own office! I’ve worked there nearly three years and have always had to share. This may make me sound spoiled and/or privileged but I think things will go much better now that I have my own space.
