My site crashed + a life update

If you've been seeing this symbol around the site lately, it's because my website blew up randomly about 2 weeks ago. I got really upset and disappeared from my blog and all of the posts I'd been working on. Images? Gone. Posts? Gone. Installations? Gone. Backups? Gone.

Gone. Gone. Gone. Everything. All my other sites, though? Totally fine. Wtf, right? And all of this just a couple days after I woke up in Napa to a 6.0 earthquake and had my life rattled.

I got lucky, though. The database was still intact, I had saved all of my images in a well-organized folder off-domain. I had to step away for a bit. You understand, right? Over a year's worth of blogging, gone in an instant and the most that could be found was that an approved update that I never actually did broke the whole damn thing somehow.

Additionally, I'm moving! I'm so excited about it, you guys! I've been wanting out of that apartment for a few years now and have been hunting for an affordable place that's very similar to the one I have now in the next town over. As of October 1st, I will be an official resident of Lodi, CA. Still not sure how I feel about that. This means that I'm going to be pretty much absent this month while I work on a new layout, some new content, and get settled in.

Thanks for being patient with me guys!
