A Day for ME pt 2. No Social Media

A Day for ME part 2

By Russell Legaspi

Last week--last Wednesday I tried not using social media for a day and what happened on the rest of that day I will try to dispense as best I can.

First, let me say that a day was easy. The plan was only social media, but then it snowballed into most electronic gadgets inside the home. Well mostly, I still checked my email during lunchtime, work and stuff. But other than that I just spent the rest of the day as if any other quarantine day.

I woke up around eight am, (I miss the days I can sleep for fourteen hours), lazed in bed about maybe twenty minutes or so. And there it was, the itch, I started to feel the itch the moment I knew I was awake. It started out first as my phone being near my bed. Then the itch turned into a thought, to check the time, and maybe see what’s going on. But then after the weather I had to with a bit of quick deliberation, set the phone down on my desk and leave it there.

The night before I knew it was going to be easy but how and its effects its what I was after. After that initial itch, the succeeding hours went by smoothly. I read my current book which is “The lonesome bodybuilder | stories” by Yukiko Motoya, it’s a pretty good one, plus I already built the habit of reading everyday so morning are a breeze. And then it comes the times after reading and preparing for lunch, that in between moment, that slit, that window of opportunity that maybe I fed unconsciously. Another itch came. Fortunately nothing came of it. The following hour my partner and I took our short walk around the block and in a way I fell into scratching. Though I didn’t include mobile games into the social media somehow it falls into that category. We were walking and there, I opened my Pokemon Go. Though it was only for that short walk, and we did manage to catch and collect a good number in that aspect I failed.

The rest of the day went by, and after that incident nothing happened anymore, I spent time with my partner, dinner, wrote, worked on the company, and talked until we fell asleep. No itch. That was the first day, first time I tried it again for this year. The following days leading to again this coming Wednesday, I realized one thing. That one day I took off, propelled me to the following days. I took less time on my phone, or whenever I was on a device it was to write or do some research for my writing. And when I do open my phone it was to play Pokemon Go with my partner, which has been fun again since she’s at it again. In a way that’s what a day can do. I’ve read people have done it longer or like many of us, know some people who aren’t even connected. I mean I too, for a time wasn’t connected in this modern era, until it became part of the company I am creating. So now maintaining a good relationship with it is the balance.

Tomorrow is Wednesday again and another day only for ME without any Social Media (Pokemon Go not included). If you are reading this in the future, in the event whatever this page is doing and it pops in your face, tell me how you did? If you did try, or have tried or whatever, let’s share notes.

I want to learn what happened with your experiment. Because mine, so far, it’s doing great, its revolving into many clearer intentions for the day. If anything I hope this helps you, person in the future.

Thank you!

This morning I dropped off the kids at daycare, and I wasn’t even sad about it. Yes, I’m THAT mom. • Okay I know that sounds harsh, but first off, they were happy to go, just as they always are. Plus, it’s nice to have a day to just do whatever I want/need at my own pace. • Selfishly enough I suppose, I was able to just have the day for me. And it’s not like I didn’t anything fancy or spend lots of money. In all, the day was rejuvenating to just have quiet before the week to come. • Plus, I feel like I’m a better mom and wife with days like this. I feel like I can be a better me when I can relax and have no worries- at least for that moment in time. 🖤 • What do you all do to rejuvenate or take time for yourselves?

Klonipin Count: 5 (as of 4/24)

Today wasn’t terribly productive since I decided that it’d be more fun to collapse mentally and psychosomatically under the compressed timeline.  One EKG later, we’ve confirmed no heart issues, no damage; just massive amounts of unprocessed stress.  The nurse prescribed beacoup benzos, nexium, and laying on the couch watching tv instead of packing. 

It worked. I felt rejuvenated by dinner time and got back to work. So far, the back bedroom, the red bathroom, and now the laundry room are all ready for photos.

I'm spending my day doing things by myself & I haven't done this before. I think I'm going to be okay on my own.
