865th Friday Blog Roundup
We recently discovered The Other Two, which I call either “The Two of Us” or “The Other One,” never getting the name correct. But this time I was linking to it, so I saw the name. Win!
It’s one of the many shows across streaming services that Lorne Michaels has his fingers in, and it is very very very funny. We’re still back on Season 1 because we like to watch shows after everyone else has moved on from them.
It is our new Schitt’s Creek, making us laugh when we’re in poopie moods.

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 in order 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. In order to read the description before clicking over, please return to the open thread:
- None… sniff…
Okay, now my choices this week.
Infertile Phoenix breaks down the verb and noun of the same word: “I really wanted TO parent. Yes, I wanted to BE a parent, but I also wanted to do the parenting.” She realizes that she’s still getting to take that action, albeit in a different form than how she imagined. I love this idea of pushing against word limits and finding all the other spaces the definition fits.
The Barreness tells stories about going in circles. Beginning with a gallery opening and ending at the core: “I use to be able to do laundry lists of tasks in hours, weekends were full of tasks done and things completed… now I am lucky if I change clothes and do laundry!” Yes to all of this. Every small thing that doesn’t work out feels like it throws everything else off, and even the things that work out sometimes just feel exhausting.
Lastly, Risa Kerslake almost had her vacation upended, but a shift in plans saved the day. It was a getaway for two that became a getaway for one after her kids got sick. I love that she packed up the car and continued with changed plans. It sounds like such a relaxing (recharging?) time.
The roundup to the Roundup: The Two of Us… NO… The Other Two. 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 October 1 – October 8) and not the blog’s main url. Not understanding why I’m asking you what you found this week?
