So you might notice that my blog looks radically different than it did last week. If you take a sec to look around, you’ll also notice that it doesn’t contain a single new post since October of 2013 (excluding this one, of course). Long story short – my website went down, I couldn’t figure out how to fix it, and I decided to return to the WordPress.com platform to make my life easier. But somehow in the mix, I screwed up and may have lost my entire website. I’ve been in a really dark place re: this whole thing since Friday night, so I’m not going to dwell on it too much now. In fact, I’m not even going to write anymore. It’s giving me another panic attack – oh yeah, it’s been that kind of weekend. Instead, I’m going to leave this post here, ask that you all please be patient (and gentle) with me, and send some good cheer my way. I’m not sure what I’m going to do if I just lost all of the posts I wrote from February til now. Having my blog disappear feels like the death of a loved one. I’m just not coping with it that well. Yeah, that might sound overdramatic, but C&Q is where I go to talk things out and feel better about life. Not to mention that the last six months has seen some of the best prose I’ve ever created. I’m devastated. If I can’t get those posts back, I’m going to have to close up shop here. It’s too much.

Good cheer. It does appear from here that you’re taking things out of proportion. You might be able to recover the site yet. You’ve already had the learning curve first time round, should be much easier if you go for it again? And you’ll have learnt from this. It’s only a few lost posts, fairly certain there’s more where it came from. The budgeting stuff was pretty detailed planning but you probably remember half of it. Don’t give up, that seems like a completely mad idea from where I’m sitting.

Thanks, trying to get stuff figured out right now. This is so fucking irritating. It’s so irritating that it makes me feel like using curse words somewhere my grandmother can see. Ugh.

Hello,
I’m Nova
I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
