Much better this week. The heat doesn't help but its cooler today. I haven't had a lot energy. It's probably because I'm not taking my vitamins. I'll have them today and see how I feel in a week. That may be the culprit.

How are you?
I'm so glad that you're feeling better this week. My mom has been sick all this week with something, and she never gets sick. It totally worries me. She's always out in the yard usually working and has not been able to do that yet. Her's is stomach issues.

I'm doing well and much better than when the pollen was getting to me. I think I might have my first date of the year. It's an ultramarathoner. Our video chat went well, but it was a little distracting since he was driving to his lake house at the time. I was not dressed up as you had mentioned, but I really wasn't thinking that I might have interest. He had offered to meet up for a run, but I can only walk now. Much better seeing him on video and hopefully the conversation will continue to flow when we meet in person. He also made me feel safe, he said we could stay on the dating app just in case I change my mind before meeting.

I hope you're able to continue to discover better ways for your health and the meal planning that you want to do. I am 6 months into the recipes that I planned for the year. It's been hard, but it's been nice to finally do some of the recipes that I've wanted to do. And people always appreciate when people bake or cook.

Well change of plans. I can't figure out how to do the domain and all of that. I'm NOT tech-savvy and it's going to cost too much to get things going.

Get the domain from Namecheap for $5.98
Get the host from Siteground for $3.99
Get the theme from @bella through StudioPress
Ask @Linux for help with the techy stuff or @Sketcher

Check your inbox for my bill!

An online presence is an investment. More so than many realize. Lots of bills going to different places. My customers either wear a lot of hats, or pay people to wear some of the hats for them. Most of my customers are the latter.

I don't have my own business, when I say "my customers" I mean the customers I am responsible for helping. I'm on a team.

But I do server setup and administration, I work with load balancers and clustered setups as well as non-clustered, I do DNS work when their domains' nameservers are with us, I assist with security issues, with managing and restoring from backups, and guiding people to the right way to execute their scripts on the servers. I see what happens when people suck at developing and maintaining their sites, and do not hire good developers, and do not maintain good relationships within their businesses or organizations.

Last night when I went to bed I spotted a faint light flashing outside my window. So I got up to investigate and found a firefly hanging out there.

I've been really bored all day today.
Thinking about that that's a word I don't think I have used it a long time. Unless it referred to work at times. Not in my current job as much but my prior one I definitely felt that way. Are you off today?

Gotcha. Is it possible because your job's stressful that by contrast your depleted when you get home that it's too hard for you to think what to do. The options are open but you're too exhausted to feel like doing anything?

Yeah somewhat. Although most weekends I find myself occupied with things. I mean... that's more like Friday... after that I get some good sleep and usually can enjoy the rest of the weekend not in zombie mode, lol.

Yeah, I totally get that. I've tried hard over the past few years to try a few things and had to bail out early because I couldn't afford it. This is the first time it's God-centered, so I'm praying He will provide what I need to get it going.

That's mainly just playing my Nintendo Switch. Only escapism I have right now. I have others... but this one seems to be the most immersive, lol.

What have you done in past? How did you go about it and what was too costly?
