User blog:Taldin/There are some setbacks that are really hard to recover from.

Spent the day running my housemate around again, and again, for the... fourth time or so, it's cost me the Wiki editing streak I've been working so hard to preserve.

This one? Was 260 days. The only badge I don't have requires 365 days straight of edits, and ... I'm busted back down to 1. One.

Disheartening as heck, and there have been some days I've been less than motivated to make edits here except for the streak I had going; we've got a lot of really good editors on here and it's gotten super tough to do anything meaningful -- and that was my downfall. I had a page open this morning, I was about to make an edit, and she got out of her doctor's appointment and said, "We've got to go."

And I shut the laptop computer. Three separate stops on the way home and I forgot about making the edit until it was 11 minutes too late to do anything about it.

Well, this was the longest run yet.... and it gives a couple of people a chance to catch up to me at this point. So I guess that's a positive for everyone else, eh?
