Taking Bets
will I ever read "getting started with ghost?" to make this look better and learn how to do all the "cool techy stuff" I bought the platform for??
*The newly 'featured image' as of 1/21 attached to this post is just my first thought from the title 'taking bets' --> pics of my stock position in PENN that I had sent to myself to tweet at el presidente (Dave Portnoy, yes, I'm a proud fan including the viva la stool bumper sticker on the car Mikey and I share) about how he was right per usual: my only wish is that I bought more. At least I didn't sell them like some people I know (hehe, sucks to be you my darling Keith - at least he can take comfort in the fact he owns a condo in San Diego while I'm still trying to figure out how to reply to texts on time).
How long will it be before I actually utilize this lovely site of "how-to" to figure out basic things like making my pictures look better when displayed on the blog page, or actually creating accurate logos?
.... looks pretty helpful, but I'd still bet it'll be months.
date of everything written above the line: 1/12
UPDATE 1/21/2020:
in last night's livestream I commented about how seeing this part of the admin page where I generally speed over to "new post" without allowing myself to look elsewhere (why the rush? because I'm afraid of myself - that I'll either get distracted from what I wanted to write about and therefore the thoughts will stay stuck in my head, or that I'll see something I "should" be doing to make the blog better and panic ... same consequence, the thoughts would stay stuck in my head instead of escaping to here):
Wow, my good mood from last night is clearly continuing, because I even looked up the difference between SDKs and APIs here (note to self: read this fully when I'm not working). Last thought before getting to work, I'm going to take the odd flip in numbers from 1/12 to 1/21 (original post date to today's update date) as a positive sign of progress. THEREFORE my bet for when I'll start learning more about how to code for the blog rather than just utilizing it to get the thoughts out of my head is.... hm. Nvm, I'm still not sure and don't want to put down a date because I've learned the hard way (at work no less) that setting deadlines is like telling my brain "nice, no worries you don't need to do this until [deadline date]" ... and then I always end up panicking to do it at the last minute. Panic is absolutely not welcome here since it's my safe space, so no betting quite yet...
