Today I received the following notification. “Tomorrow, on the node where your service is located, we will carry out work on the equipment’s modernization and configuration. Downtime will occur for some time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We hope for your understanding and cooperation.”
So basically, I have no idea how long the site will be down and when the maintenance will occur exactly. I am hopeful that this modernization will fix some regular issues I am having with the site. “Tomorrow” officially starts in the Netherlands at 6:00 PM EST and ends at 6:00 PM EST tomorrow. So the downtime will happen somewhere in between those times. It seems like it will be a rather lengthy process. This of course makes me anxious. But hopefully things will go well.
As a result of this, I plan to put up a RHOD Discussion thread for tonight’s show. Whether the site will be up when it airs is unclear. However, tonight’s RHOD is up against This Is Us and the season premiere of Big Sky and there is no second airing. I’m also under the weather today. I made a run to the Publix and had a pretty bad panic attack the entire time. I still haven’t put away my groceries. Because I am not moving much these days, these trips suck all the energy out of me, so I am grateful for the time off. I hope you guys with tell me what happens on RHOD tonight if the site is up.
I’ll be holding my breath until the site comes back online. I’d be lying if I said this does not make me nervous. I’ve never had a hosting site do this before. I just hope everything is backed up.
This is Us is one of my favorite shows, so I’ll be recording Dallas tonight and watching it sometime over the next couple of days. Some of the local government agencies I have to do business with periodically have to shut down their sites for updates. I hope you site isn’t down for too long, but at least you’ll get a little well-deserved break.
Have you considered getting vaccinated which may ease some of your anxiety around going out?
For whatever reason, I have had panic attacks in grocery stores BEFORE the pandemic. I’m apparently just batshit crazy. And I am struggling to make an appointment for a vaccine because I can’t commit to a time until I get my sleep schedule back on track.
you might want to schedule your appointment so you can have your sleep schedule back on track, maybe reverse psychology helps, also the vaccine can take away some of the stress.
Can you order groceries online and just pick them up, that might help with the attacks,
weather is getting better, you can find other ways to socialize that you may be more comfortable with
When the pandemic started, I had a melt down in the frozen food section of the grocery store. I was so upset, I had to go to my car and my husband did the check-out. Lines, 6 feet apart, mask, no toilet paper…my vet was having trouble getting alcohol.
Toilet paper is OBSCENELY expensive. It’s more than a dollar a roll! And there is still a two pack maximum. Toilet paper, Smartwater, and Black Box wine are still in short supply. I was fortunate to get some wine today.
It is nice of the site to let you know about it in advance. I am sure things will go smoothly. My fingers are crossed that you can get your vaccine soon, it can really help with some of the anxiety. I am in Michigan where it is really on the rise again and I am feeling okay about it. I am still very careful, wear masks and don’t really go anywhere but my anxiety is lessened. Take care and get some sunshine when you can!
