I do something similar, but in a way that keeps it interesting. I always pull a shirt off the right and move the hanger to the left for clean ones out of the dryer. Pants are the same. Stacked stuff always comes off the top. Clean ones go on the bottom.
I also went with Blogger in 2019 rather than fuss over blog engines. It's exportable, free, runs under your own domain, has few restrictions on front-end customization, and is unlikely to go out without warning. At worst, I defer thinking about it until later when I have a better sense of my needs.
Related to that, I started on a PHP-based static blog engine. I reasoned that PHP was made for smushing data and HTML together, so it was perfect!

But I also saw a future where I had to maintain all the bits and pieces. I really just wanted a blog, not a blogging engine. I hadn't read Choose Boring Technology yet, but it affirms the thinking that led me to pick Blogger over a custom engine and other pre-made options.
