![]() Read about why the coming months and what we do now will be so important.Ĭounting out a couple of summer months where things were a bit more normal in many areas of the world, the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the life for most people the past 10 months. Now, if ever, is the time for all of us who enjoy great shoes to do all we can to support the brands and retailers that we love, and make those purchases that may prove crucial to save jobs or even whole companies. This entry was posted in Review on 20220101 by leslie.As we head towards one year living under the shadow of a pandemic, it becomes increasingly clear that the quality shoe business is one of the production industries that suffers hard. I finally got it to work properly, but wow what a pain. So I was saving things to it by opening up the website and note seamlessly as a drive. The app never worked properly and kept trying to install the wrong app. I also remembered that DropBox and my cheapo laptop did not work well together. ![]() **I found the files, all of them in Docs! It turns out I did save them all, in the OG publisher format with names docs couldn’t make sense of like UJLayout and UJV1.1 etc… I really need to lean into Google’s ability to search titles and add spaces to file names. New issues of Useful Journaling, but different than before.Consistent photos for the blog and instagram.And double checking to be sure I’m doing this. Redundant back ups, for everything I’m currently working on.So a few goals for me in the upcoming year. While I’m not exactly a digital hoarder, it is useful to keep some of these digital files on hand just in case. deep sigh of relief.) But A word to the wise, if you think you have backed things up, check and double check to be sure that you have. (JK I just found these in yet another search of Drive. It’s not a hard one to recreate but here I am.įortunately, I have original flats of all my old zines, which means I can scan them easily. While I thought I’d uploaded the files to Drive AND DropBox, I had not. For some reason when I updated the OS on my cheap little laptop it corrupted all the attached drives- including the expansion micro SD card. Annoyingly I thought I’d redundantly backed them up, only now I can’t find all of them. Most frustrating for me, I lost** the original files for Useful Journaling, including my layout file. But now that I’ve taken a year to think and mull on it, I see a new option. But it also saw me wanting to continue with my zine efforts, while floundering on the original premise of Useful Journaling. But 2021 saw me using my journal more often than in a few previous years, and making it more of a practice again. I spent the last year working on a series of prompts and ideas for the newest volume of Useful Journaling. I have more to say, but this post isn’t about that, not it’s about reflection. Sweet Jeebus.Īnyway, this is what we’re living with here in the States, instead of attempting to wipe out a measly virus we’re fighting over wearing a simple piece of cloth over our faces. MY city attempted to hold a meeting about mask mandates, and because they were too… stupid to lock it down, anti-maskers spoke over them and drove them out for over an hour while city officials figured out how to work Google Meet. A second of a global pandemic, which is back on the rise in my area with folx still refusing to get vaccinated or to even mask up. ![]() A place where we look back on the bad and good and use that to set goals and intentions for the new year. The end of the year as we roll into the new is often used as a moment of reflection.
