I reached that blissful state for about a month in the middle of last year, but then I discovered that:

A) My dad had been sending me semi-important information via one of my email accounts and not telling me this stuff via any other avenue. This lead to some “delightfully frustrating” family conversations where I was inadvertently clueless.

B)My apartment complex liked to communicate with me via that same email address over other forms of communication.

And so I begrudgingly re-enabled those pesky notifications.

Thanks very much for reading and for the comment!
