So in case you're wondering

odanuI decided this year it would be a good use of my vacation time to spend several days mostly doing nothing but running around in Skyrim, and then tackle the organization/clutter problem I've been accumulating for ... all my life.
So I've shredded about a metric ton of old medical documents (personal) and have roughly 5-10 times that of medical records (professional) to shred mostly old remittances. I've gotten that workspace partially organized, and then I emptied the GIANT plastic tub I moved a bunch of stuff home from my office in, to use for a recycle bin for all the shreds I'm creating.
I also spent some time pulling up my old Habitica account and simplifying the to-do list that I had on there so it wouldn't overwhelm me. I've gotten a lot done just by scanning and saying "Oh yeah, I forgot I was planning to do that".
I'm back on Dreamwidth for a couple of reasons. I haven't run across any evidence that they have an evil business model, it has relatively decent controls to keep me from being overrun by trolls (as always on long-form journaling pages, follower-only commenting to protect my clients, and clients can't follow me), and it's free or extremely cheap.
Over the next several weeks I'll be downloading all of my content from my website onto Scrivener, then formatting it and posting the best of it here (ignoring admin posts and things that either are outdated or that aren't my best work).
This is to become my workspace for writings that seek to make things better, which is a broad category of things. If Dreamwidth turns out to not work well for this, I'll move to Tumblr or Reddit instead.
I'm not getting rid of my Facebook, but I am moving a lot of the bigger discussions I'm having off of Facebook where I don't have to deal with people missing posts because the algorithm is hiding them. Here, you're either following and reading, or you're not. If I want my writing to be discoverable, that's what crossposting is for.
Anyhow, here I am, for better or worse. I'm thinking of getting rid of the "Nana" part of the handle because still no grandchildren (at least not blood) so feel like a bit of an imposter, but even the uncommon spelling Jenni is of course, taken. Open to ideas.

Welcome Back!
