I’ve really been enjoying using quizzes to test my knowledge and spot where I still need to improve. Tommy suggested that, since I already have printed notes, I switch out the note-taking for the quizzes. The quizzes have been really helpful for me in retaining the information. Between the quizzes, the cybersecurity videos, and the book, I feel like I have a solid mix of resources to learn from.
Chris isn’t feeling well today, so I’m not watching Everest. It’s been pretty quiet because of that. Earlier, I tried bringing Merlin inside while it was still cool out, thinking he might enjoy a break from the cold, but he kept crying and heading back to the door. He clearly prefers being outside, so I let him go. He really does love it out there, though it’s starting to warm up now.
This Saturday, Tommy and I are going to an air show, which I’m looking forward to. It’ll be nice to get out of the house for a bit. We’ll definitely need to pick up some sunscreen. I have one for my face, but we’ll need something for our arms and neck, too. It’s supposed to be warm and sunny, so sun protection is a must.
We didn’t end up working out last night, but I’m hoping we can tonight. My hand and wrist are feeling a bit better, still sore, but definitely improving.
A friend is looking for pictures from her middle school. The same middle school that Kevin went to. I’m pretty sure I have his yearbooks. But damn, the digging I will have to do in the office closet is no joke. And I sprained my hand, so picking up totes right now may be a bit hard for me. I say that as I’m planning to do some weight lifting tonight. I’m hoping my hand will cooperate and I won’t be in much pain. I’m thinking of looking in the closet soon. Finding the pictures and scanning them will be the easy part.
The house is so quiet today, and the office door is shut. Alexis always shuts the door when she leaves the office. Now I’m anxious because the door is closed. I don’t know why I get so anxious being alone in the office with the door closed. I always feel like I need to know what is happening outside the room. Even though I know exactly what is happening outside the room… nothing. But I still become anxious.
I keep getting alerts that my site is going down and then coming back up, and today it’s been happening a lot. I’m really hoping I don’t run into issues when I post this because it’s starting to get frustrating.
The site has been slow to load, and it’s not just the front end; working in WordPress has felt laggy and glitchy too. I already checked with my host, and they say everything looks fine on their end, which just leaves me stuck trying to figure out what’s causing it.
At this point, I’m thinking the layout might be part of the problem. Simplifying it could help with load times, so that’s something I’ll look into next week.
I tried typing in “desertkitten.wordpress.com” to see if it would take me to my site, and it turns out it’s actually my old WordPress account. I’d completely forgotten about it; I only wrote on it for about a month back in 2010. Now I’m thinking it might be worth pulling those posts into my current site.
At the same time, I keep coming back to this bigger question: if I ever move to a different host, what happens to all my WordPress posts? Do they just disappear? Would I need to back everything up beforehand? How do I back up WordPress posts? The idea of losing years of writing is honestly what makes me hesitate, even if switching hosts might solve some of the issues I’ve been dealing with.
I should look into backing up my WordPress account. I’m sure there is a way to do it.
It’s getting close to when I need to start dinner. Salmon, veggies, and rice. Sounds pretty good and healthy. I’m going to post this and research how to back up my WordPress.
