Little dot keeps going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Usually solves itself, but not this time. So with extreme reluctance borne of many calls to technical assistance I broke down and called my webhost, Ionos. No joy. They haven\u2019t called me back. Maybe they\u2019re down? Frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be back when I can. It does like Ionos has had some problems. The whole server farm industry and its business model remains opaque to me. Yet this blog, the most consistent thing I\u2019ve done over the last 17 years can\u2019t be seen without it. I don\u2019t know where on the planet they are, who runs Ionos, why they\u2019re having trouble. I have a regular backup for my blog but it&#8217;s saved on Ionos, too.<\/p>\n<p>On with them now. It\u2019s a glitch on their end. My website is one of some still affected by a web programming issue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a weird day. I got up achy, feeling crummy. Headache, muscle aches, general yechh. Got on the call with my Ancient Brothers and my check-in echoed that. When we were done talking about flash bulb memories, I felt better. My energy level had improved.<\/p>\n<p>Still fatigued, but I could get stuff done. Loaded Ruby with the last of the donations from pruning mine and Kate\u2019s things. Probably will be more, but that will require another pass that sits in priority well behind the kitchen, the loft, hanging art, even the outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>With spring will come cleaning out the garage. Oddly, I was well underway with this task when Kate got sicker. It fell away from my attention. Over 3 years ago. It\u2019s going back on the board. Power wash. Seal the concrete. Get rid of the old freezer. Eliminate clutter. Organize tools. That sorta thing. Look forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>Energy level seems still improved. I hope this also clears up some of the brain fog I\u2019ve been experiencing. The low stamina included intellectual work. I couldn\u2019t read or think about one thing very long before I tired out. Didn\u2019t like that. It can be an effect of hypothyroidism.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Got started with Ada Palmer\u2019s Too Like Lightning. Amazing world building. She\u2019s a professor at the University of Chicago which means very brainy. It shows. Her area is medieval and renaissance literature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Feel oddly disconnected when I can\u2019t post. Like there\u2019s a core element of writing missing. You. I hope they hurry up and get this fixed. I only know a handful of my readers and I\u2019ve communicated with them. But perhaps you I didn\u2019t know read my blog. I hope you keep at it even after this caesura.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring and the Seoah Citizenship Moon Monday gratefuls: Better energy.
