I forgot to mention @kaelci 's part in my adoption! I'm not sure what exactly she did to be honest, it seems there were a couple things, but holy cow am I feeling a warm and fuzzy toward @kaelci! Gratzie!
She also sponsored you into Steem Basic Income which means a (small) upvote for life. The more units you have, the higher the upvote. The good news is that you can win more by participating in the many FreewriteHouse activities!
I saw that somewhere! I am hopelessly lost on steem at the moment. Thank you @kaelci! No sure she will see this thanks to her.... will she? I get no notifications when someone or thing has does something nice for me unless either they comment on one of my posts, or I happen to stumble across it in my feed.
As for notifications - Instead of the steemit.com website I use steempeak.com which notifies me of comments, sadly not mentions... but the steem Partiko app on my phone and GINA on Discord notify me of those! :)
If you're using a laptop or computer, I highly recommend using Steempeak for all of your steeming needs! It has a much nicer interface and you can save drafts and templates of your posts, and it seems faster than Steemit. Could just be my bias. But when I was using steemit.com I would always get "a page is making your browser run slow" message while I'd tap my foot impatiently and I haven't had that at all with steempeak.
:D
Anyway. Babbling.
I'm glad to have helped with your week of adoption! :D
I have started using steempeak. I agree it is much better than steemit! I would dearly love to get some kind of notification of mentions though - I could easily have missed being adopted by freewritehouse - if I hadn't stopped to read every word of that post I surely would have.
Partiko is great for notifications! It's a steem app for your phone that has a points-based system. Every time you upvote, comment or post, you get points, and when you have accrued enough points you can opt to use those points for an upvote from Partiko. :)
I really only use it when I'm in bed or out-and-about, and not for posting, just for voting and commenting. But the notifications are useful! There's also @ginabot on Discord, but that requires a bit of setting up. I have that on my phone too so whenever something happens on Steem I usually get double-beeped.👀🤪 Drives my partner crazy. Especially when I forget to put my phone on silent before bed. 😂
All I did was nominate you. :) I'm silent --I struggle to write meaningful comments about things unless it's general chit chat-- but I read almost every freewrite and fiftywords I see and curate the tags nearly every day, and when I saw that you had just started the freewrites, I -had- to nominate you for the adoption week! :D
You have a very busy life! I love food, both eating and cooking! Haha. I look forward to one day owning my own property and growing my own food, raising my own chickens, etc; apart from writing fiction, it's my main goal in life. There are still many years ahead, but I look forward to it.
Good luck in your upcoming play :) Or, should that be "break a leg?" (please don't! good luck!) :D

thank you. I am resisting getting anything on my phone, but people keep recommending partiko to me so I might just check it out.
