Day 2 of No Social Media

November 12, 2021

The best way to describe my day was comical. What I never told you guys yesterday was that I installed an app blocker on my laptop. It felt like a good idea at the time. This way when i get tempted to go on a site i shouldn't be on i would be kicked right off. Confession Time, I clicked on YouTube twice and Instagram once. Because of the blocker a sign came up that said "The page you're trying to access has been blocked by LeechBlock."

I was so embarrassed, I felt judged. It was just a habit to go on YouTube first thing in the morning to play worship songs as I get ready. Now I have to find another way to get my music, I'll figure it out. The second time when i clicked on YouTube was when i was asked to present a video for my HSB class. I said okay, presented my screen and everything and when I clicked the link of the video i was hit with "The page you're trying to access has been blocked by LeechBlock." I was not thinking about how not having YouTube would affect my education. But like i said in the previous post i had 30 minutes to use YouTube on my tablet, i ether have to use it there or just download the videos. I'm sure school get a pass when it comes to YouTube

My excuse for clicking on Instagram is in fact a good one. I needed it to be linked to this website. No Instagram means Ugly Website. I promise that i didn't scroll through my feed or check messages. All I had to do was unrestrict the site. It is still deleted from my tablet and i have not broken my 30 day fast.

Okay I have confessed my sins. Let's talk about the rest of my day.

People who knows me can tell about the short attention span I have. Everything has to be fun and things has to be happening quickly which kinda explains my addiction to social media. So, when my online classes gets boring (they always do) I am going to find something that is more interesting to occupy my time.

You can just imagine me laying tummy down on the floor, laptop pressed against the sofa and dominoes on my left and Jenga on my right. I was in the house playing Jenga and Dominoes by myself talking and laughing at scenarios i make in my head while my teacher was talking about the liver.

My life is so sad!

I had no social media, I'm basically an only child since my two siblings moved out and All of my friends live a million miles away.

After my "class" I have one hour of lunch. Usually i spend my one hour watching Tiktok and then I start making Lunch at 12 when my fourth class of the day begins. But this time I did chores.

Abigail Bethune willingly did chores!!

I washed the dishes and I cleaned the house and that took me about 30 mins. I used the other 30 to shower and actually get something to eat. I loved it. I felt so loved by me. I was so proud of myself and i am excited to see if i can keep this up every lunch time.

If I am being totally honest, even though I said my life is sad, I enjoyed my own company. I got a lot done, probably shouldn't be playing Jenga during my class but It was better than scrolling aimlessly to get rid of time. Maybe next time i can find something better to do than laughing at my own jokes.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

Ephesians 3:20 & 21 - Now to him who is able to do exceedingly more, than all things asked or imagined. According to his power that lives within us. To him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generation forever and ever Amen.
