After two years, I felt the urge to write a new blog post.

Getting here wasn’t as simple as I had thought this morning at 7am when I opened my computer. Why? Because I completely forgot how to log in. Over the last two years, I’ve gotten a new computer, set up countless new accounts and passwords, and packed away all my blog-related notes. Since I stopped blogging in October 2022, I’ve kept my site alive, but I wasn’t sure I’d ever want to actually revive White Cabana. Am I even reviving it today? To be determined.

This morning, I just felt like writing.

So, with no passwords or notes in hand, I was basically stuck at the login page. Luckily, my hosting company is (and has always been) very helpful, so I reached out, and voilà here I am.

Hello, world.

What did I even want to write about this morning? Gosh, who even remembers! I’ve been at my computer for many hours now…writing…writing emails, writing an academic article, writing texts, writing a PowerPoint…writing. But not writing a blog post.

I am happy to have successfully logged in, happy to have reviewed comments that have been sitting unread for years, and happy to have updated all my plugins as well as the latest version of WordPress (I missed many updates). I’m writing. I’m writing a blog post about nothing. Didn’t Seinfeld have an episode about a show about nothing? This is what this blog posts feels like it is. A blog post about nothing.

But I’m here. And I’m writing. And I’m thinking about White Cabana.

I might even write something else tomorrow. Or the day after.

At least I now know my login.
