Amanda, post the next review!

I know, I know, I hear you. And trust me, I hate myself for not posting, too. I just want to give you a little history of why my posting is so sporadic and why it was never meant to be.

So, I started this blog way back in 2013, inspired by Full House Reviewed. What you may not know is that at the time, I was unemployed, and wanted one undepressing thing to do in my life, and Small Wonder was my first favorite show. Sitting down to watch episodes of Small Wonder and writing about it seemed like the best fun in the world - and to this day, I still believe it. I love this blog. It's the funnest thing I've ever done. I also enjoy that you guys also genuinely enjoy the show, but don't hold it on some unnatural pedestal. That makes it even more fun for me.

So, the reason I was never supposed to post sporadically is because I was unemployed. About once a week, I would watch and review like five episodes and schedule them in advance. It's why I always update at 5 in the morning my time - I'm not up that early. That's a disgusting time to be awake. I'm not a morning person at all.

But then my laptop died. Because of the way I had been reviewing episodes, this was not a problem until all the episodes for the first season posted. I had tried to update on my Nook, but it was hard and uncomfortable.

But then I got a job and was able to get a new laptop in 2015. I honestly thought at the time it would be all Small Wonder all the time, but the reality of it was - I was having a hard time finding time. When I first first came back, I lived around the corner from my job, and it was only part time, so it was much easier then. But then I moved somewhere where I had a 2 hour bus commute one way, and I had school on top of that. Time was not on my side. Then I became full time.

But now I have a car, and I don't live so far from work. I still work full time, and I have real world commitments that I now live farther from in trying to live closer to work, but I have more time. Will my updates still be sporadic? Probably. But will they happen at all?

Yes. One is going up this Friday at 5 am my time.

I'm also working on trying to make the blog look prettier. If the theme is constantly changing on you, it's just me trying to find what I like best.

So, in conclusion, I will try to update more often starting this Friday. Please forgive me for the delay.

    1. I'm really glad that those of you who stuck around, did. It might take until 2023, but I will get through every episode as promised. Eventually.
