Day of frustration, nope. Shall be day of success!
I am on borrowed time today. I have critical deadlines in multiple areas. So? My subscription for a development tool isn’t working and customer service isn’t available for another half hour. Ugh, there was more but my mind just went blank. Stress is high but I will not let it get to me. Today will be light and fun and full of success despite any obstacles thrown at me. Online banking giving 500 error. Subscription for my primary development tool reporting expired despite receipt of renewal. Nothing is working!
Cannot even get my bluetooth headset to stay connected to the computer. I need to walk away from tech today but I need to be on tech today.

Fountain pen world problems
I awoke this morning thinking “I need a new ink color” which led to “I need a new fountain pen!”
(I don’t really need either)

So excited that I’ll wait
I have all the parts to build my new keyboard. I am on a pseudo-vacation this week. Building and programming the keyboard was one of my intended projects. At the airport, my 12-year-old son asked me not to build it because he wants to help. You can darn well bet that putting that keyboard together can wait a couple more weeks!

I am on a not-a-vacation
I have taken a week off from my day job. Well, next weekend, I will be in training for 3 days so it is not exactly a full week (9 days if you count weekends on either end of a ‘vacation’) and while technically the training is for the Boy Scouts, it is leadership training that is supposed to be on par with Covey Leadership and other corporate training. Plus I have homework to prepare for the weekend of training.
I had really hoped to have this week to work on the house and perhaps travel to visit with relatives or to take Amy somewhere special. Alas, today is Sunday, and while I am very relaxed, I am sitting at the computer to do some work for my day job (the one I am on vacation from) and for my evening and weekend job (my freelancing). Adulting is hard.

Turbulence
It is a beautiful Sunday. I could easily spend it just being outside. Instead, I will be on the computer all day. I am making good progress but want to make better progress. The potential to allow stress to get out of hand is high but I’m staying frosty.

I use the Adobe Creative Cloud
I like Adobe products. I pay for the Adobe Creative Cloud as a means to get my work done. So I want to learn a little more about Adobe Captivate. I type "Captivate" in the Adobe Create Cloud Apps search bar. It takes me to this:

Continuous learning
I believe we should be learning all the time. These are just a few of the things I work on in my idle time: Ham radio, Fusion360, growing my own food, and cryptocurrencies.

Ouch
I’ve noticed of late, that my injuries are not healing as quickly as they did in the recent past.
