Spending a Day WITHOUT Social Media: Trust me, you won’t go any crazier than you already are

Yesterday, technically most of today, was spent off of Facebook, Twitter, and Pintrest. My trinity of sites I spend most of my days combing through getting nothing done. Mom wanted to run some errands so I took that as an opportunity to get away from the computer. My phone is on me almost at all times but I didn’t even bother taking it out to check any apps that would make me think twice about this social media free day.

After 11pm the night before last was when it all started. Just saying screw it since I never am actually social on them anyway. Having only three games played on a regular on Facebook and not on Twitter all that often these day they weren’t much to give up I guess. Not sifting through Pintrest and pinning things about my Duct Tape crafts and anxiety was the worst part I think.

So sure I just got back into the Facebook games and they had all reset to day one rewards but such is life. Sometimes one needs to reset their priorities and just unwind with a game that has nothing to do with anyone else. You don’t even need to talk to your friends and neighbors in the game if you don’t want to. The Sims 3! I found a fascinating video on how to make a garage attached to a house with a foundation, which my parents house (the house I have sequestered myself in since yesterday at said time) is built like. So building this house down to the details was my goal and around noon today I finished.

Now I have been building my Sim’s (a skinnier, more charismatic version of me) skills since its the closest I will ever seemingly get to building onto my own skill sets.

Also yesterday involved a lot of reading the book that I will seriously finish before the beach even if it kills me. Today was light on the reading because I was really into my Sim. Got about 30 pages in just yesterday alone though so it makes up for it because I figured out that I needed to read about 14ish pages each day from the three week mark to be finished before we leave that day.

So my Sim may have gone a little loopy staying in her house all day just reading skills books and working on her novels she writes but I enjoyed the solitude today. At least yesterday mom and I didn’t kill each other over something silly as per usual.

Have an interview tomorrow for a job back in teaching. Not sure if its what I want but right now what I need to is get back into a routine as I don’t go mad and my mom and I don’t get at each other’s throats on her days off.
