I have not been on here for awhile, because I was scared. I screwed up this site in a major way a couple of weeks ago, while I was trying to install a bulletin board. My tech people at my hosting company ended up restoring my backup from 1/21 in order to straighten my site back out. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been afraid to really even look at what’s left.
Yeah. Note to self: Really READ those dialog boxes. If it says “Replace images folder?” that’s what it means. Well, at least nobody saw it. That’s the good part about not having anyone visiting my site. :/
So… what else is new? On the health front, we have all had issues. Jack’s finger is still on the mend, because he keeps whacking it on things. He wears a metal cover over it most of the time, just to protect it from these whacks.
Jodie was spayed on Tuesday, 2/16. She’s very bad at being quiet, and I’m horrible at keeping her quiet, so she has a bulge at her surgery site and I’m afraid that it’s a hernia. Or something tore loose… or something. We took her back in on Monday and they said not to worry, just to continue trying to keep her quiet. She has actually been pretty quiet since then, so maybe it’s going to be a nothing, I hope.
On January 25, Jack had an appointment for his first Covid shot. I was there, of course, and they offered me one as well. When they have extra doses, they can do that. Heck, yeah! All was fine and we had no after-effects.
On 2/19, at 2:30am, we had Jack’s appointment for his 2nd shot. We drove up there and he got his, but they wouldn’t give me mine. Instead, I got an appointment for my 2nd shot on Sunday evening, 2/21.
Monday, I was just achy and tired. That night, I got chills, fever, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Ugh. Tuesday, I rested and felt horrible. But then on Wednesday, I awoke feeling fine. Yay! And I’m vaccinated.
In the meantime, We incurred a tiny scratch from another vehicle at our storage spot, so, after a bit of research, we have a new spot for it in Queen Creek, about 30 minutes away. The spots are far bigger and it should be easy to navigate it in and out.
Michele and Jack came for a visit! We got to see them for a little while, masked and distanced, while they looked at some retirement housing options.
So, until I can actually get a bulletin board successfully installed, the Art Challenge is tabled. I’m not sure, of course, that this is even something that people want to do.
One thing I do know is that, while I was “away,” so many, many people started teaching Photoshop and doing video “tutorials,” that “I wrote a tutorial,” is not even an exciting thing for people to hear. They are all over you tube, each one competing with the others for the “which tutorial is worst?” prize.
I sound so unpleasant when I read my thoughts about what I want to do with my life. I guess I just want to be appreciated for what I do — like everyone else in the world.
