No more Meta for me

I have killed all 3 sites and it’s a relief. I do have a BlueSky account with this userid. But, I’m not giving the Zuckerberg empire access to my attention any longer. I spent a couple of weeks collecting info so that I can stay in touch with people.

We went out for dinner to Dixon’s Jamaican Taste in Burlington tonight. I got the escovich fish. She asked if I wanted it with the head on and I said, “sure.” I’m really glad that they don’t actually use plates and just serve everything in styrofoam containers. After I ate as much as I could get off the fish with plastic ustensils, half of my peas-and-rice, and double cabbage, I just flipped the top over to bring leftovers home. Then, I picked that fish head like I meant business. I was not comfortable doing that in front of people. Even people that don’t know me. And the young woman behind the counter does recognize us after half a dozen visits in as many months.

If I want Chuck to do something with me in Burlington, “Dixon’s” gets him in the car without fail.

I am not loving my new work schedule. But, it could be worse and I have an escape plan if it becomes critical. Medicare kicks in this July and my 401(k) is healthy.

Lately, I’ve been getting overtime and spending that on myself. I have ordered a recliner to replace the large, worn out chair where I usually sit in the living room. It’s supposed to be here before my mother visits the end of February. If they wait until the cut off date, I’m going to be annoyed.

I’ve been doing 20 Plants in 20 Days and I think I’ll transcribe it here because I think at least one person who doesn’t use that site would get a kick out of it.

I’m kind of expecting that with no Meta, I’m likely to use this more.

    Yay, you!  I am also in the process of purging, trying to stop using and investing in companies that are fucking up our world (these for example).  Currently, I am working on quitting Amazon.  It is harder than I want to admit.

    I don’t have any social media other than Reddit now, but I keep thinking I might join Blue Sky.  Will be curious what you think of it.
