The Sunday Scaries is a real thing, and I’ve been afflicted with it for most of my career.
The Sunday Scaries is the reason why I hardly ever take a vacation longer than a week. Because the longer the vacation, the worse the Sunday Scaries becomes.
The Sunday Scaries is a debilitating feeling of anxiety and anguish. It bubbles up to the surface feelings of insecurity and imposter syndrome.
It’s a feeling of panic and realization that you’re an adult, and that you’re expected to act like an adult.
When all you want to do is sleep in late and watch Fringe all day.
Every time my web hosting plan comes close to renewing, I get that horrible anxiety.
You see, ever since I started blogging with WordPress (around 2005?), I’ve done the self-hosted kind, even though the under-the-hood technical aspects kind of terrified me.
I noticed that when I opened the main Cloudflare plugin page on my WordPress site, I got an error spinner. I thought maybe I should deactivate the plugin and reactivate it to fix the problem.
But that was a mistake. Because it then resulted in a “Too many redirects” error when I tried to access my site, effectively locking me out of wp-admin as well.
I have made this for myself as an evening sweet treat for weeks now!
It started out as a “microwave cobbler in a mug,” but when I broke the handle off my microwave and could no longer open it, I transitioned over to my oven.
I removed as much sugar as I could, so this treat is only 315 calories!
