I attempted a database restore.

It wasn’t entirely successful, but it wasn’t entirely unsuccessful either. But I did learn something unfortunate…

It’s not a full backup. It was done before I imported everything from blogger.

Unfortunately, I deleted a bunch of posts from blogger. What does this mean? Well…it means that I’ve lost a good deal more than I had originally thought. Mostly early stuff. The stuff about X. The stuff about my early days of dating. All of the “wah wah wah, I’m so miserable” stuff.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s not such a bad thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I needed that. At the time. Blogging my pain, my trip back into the dating world, was incredibly cathartic for me.

And while it hurts a little bit to know that those words are gone…I know that I don’t need them anymore.

And so, no more looking back. I’m moving forward, full speed ahead. First step…figure out how to get back to eringoblog.net. Second step, rebuild my sidebar. Third step…actually, happening simultaneously with steps one and two, get back to the business of blogging, without letting it get in the way of other things. I’ve had a pretty productive couple of weeks, and I’m feeling good about that. Keep checking in with me here, and soon, I’ll be back at home where I belong.
