I don’t know if it’s because it’s winter and everything is dark and dull (not true, I live in Florida but you get the point!), but earlier this month I ended almost all of my streaming services. The only one I kept was Spotify. You’d think I’d be adding services on account of being cooped up inside, right? I guess I’m contrarian like that.
For TV stuff, I scroll through YouTube movies and the Roku Channel. So far, I haven’t been suffering from withdrawal as much as I’d predicted. Did you know most libraries have DVDs for free checkout? I will try to find new movies (if they’re on DVD at all) and watch them that way, downside is there is a waiting line sometimes. I’ve also become slightly obsessed with reading. Right now my favorite author is Frieda McFadden. If you haven’t read “The Housemaid” yet, turn your computer off immediately, go to your library, and reserve it. You won’t be disappointed. OK, you might be but that’s a reflection of you not the book! Wow, sorry, I got a little hostile there.
Maybe this part of the year can be called the pruning season… cutting things out of my life and daily schedule that I can probably do without, at least for a few months. Kind of like winter. Wow, deep stuff. If I keep getting along OK I might not ever add services back although I miss the Elvis Channel and it’ll be fun to catch up on shows I like, “Tracker” for instance.
Have you done any cleaning up on your subscriptions? What did you cut out? What did you keep?

I think I did a free trial of Max at some point. There’s a movie on Max called Trap that I’d love to see, but I’m waiting for the DVD from the library haha. Let me know if you try a Freida McFadden book!
