Hello! (laughs) I had a moment of panic, wondering if I'd recorded yesterday's entry before midnight. I thought I might be back on Day 1 again. (sighs) After reinstalling my operating system the other day, I couldn't access my Authenticator app. Today, I finally managed to recover it. The problem was, it needed a backup key, and I had no idea what that was. It turns out it's a password I set myself, and it's not stored in the cloud, so if you lose it, you're stuck. This app holds nearly thirty of my accounts, so I was pretty desperate.
I started contacting support for various apps to disable two-factor authentication. Google was easy, but Instagram was a nightmare. It wasn't my main account, but a secondary one I use daily for "vibe" photos and memories, not selfies. Its recovery algorithm kept rejecting my video verification, probably because it couldn't match my face to my profile pictures. I was ready to give up. Then, on a whim, I went back to the Authenticator app and tried entering a password I didn't think would work as the backup key. And it did! The relief was incredible. I've now set up multi-device access and saved everything securely. Never again.
My new website design is almost finished; I should be able to deploy it tomorrow. The current design will be gone, replaced by a brighter, new look I'm really happy with. It will have new features like "Shelf," "Achievement," and "Diary Photo." I was inspired by a foreign personal website that posts one photo a day, and I want to do something similar, perhaps with multiple photos if a day has many important moments.
This morning, I spent an hour cycling cardio at the gym. Afterwards, I ate at my usual restaurant at Central because my bank app is still not working. I entered my ten-digit account number, but it still requires in-person verification at a branch or ATM (sighs). When I got home, I mostly watched anime. I finished the first part of a new series and I'm hooked; I'll definitely add it to the list of watched anime and read books on my new site. I'm now halfway through season two. Mom made delicious Massaman curry tonight, the pork was so tender.
Oh, and another thing: my mom was scrolling through TikTok and stopped on a video of a Pomeranian puppy. She usually just scrolls past, but she liked the price, and now we've bought it! It's being delivered tomorrow, and we have to pick it up in Nakhon Si Thammarat, which is perfect because we already have errands there. It felt like fate. I probably won't go, though; my dad and brother can handle it. I'd rather stay home and watch more anime. It's 1 AM now, and talking about the whole day like this is tiring, but maybe it helps me sleep. I've also started posting stories on my main Instagram again. I feel like I want to rebuild my identity.
