Google has been playing password games with me over the past 24 hours and it's frustrating, to say the least. A lot of my life is ruled by Google - my personal blog, which used to be BlogSpot and then was Blogger (or was that the other way around?), was bought out by Google. My phone is a Pixel 6, so Google again. I use Google practically every day to look something up or check something out. But yesterday I needed to do something with Google Pay, and it required a lot of different sign-in attempts. In other words, it was a total PITA.

Google's logo has undergone quite a bit of change over the years, ending with the bottom right - the newest iteration in "futura" font. Google is the app you love to hate, but I do love my Google phones. |
As a consequence, however, when I wanted to write my blog this morning, it told me I had changed my password and needed to sign in again. Fortunately it only took two tries to find out which password it had decided was mine this time, and I've now changed my blog's password to be unique for it once again. Argh. Just ARGH. That was something I truly didn't need at 3:30 am. But ... crisis averted.

In this illustration of "A Very Busy Day" from the Strand, I only wonder what the guy is doing up near the lamp post. But I do agree - it looks like a very busy day indeed. |
I'm hoping to start work on the photos for the 6mm cubes today. Everything has to run very smoothly for that to happen, and there's a Zoom call today that I'd like to attend, so ... photos may be Friday. If I don't get to the photos, I'm going to look over the 8mm cubes a final time and then bring them live. I have my master list with me - corrected and totally up-to-date - and I'll go through it one-by-one to make sure I caught all of the items I want listed in that category. One more look through for possible typos, making sure part numbers are accurate, and then I can release them. Enter the Kraken! LOL
 |
If everything checks out (for the umpteenth time), I'll activate the 8mm crystal cubes section of Etsy today. Then I can start the next phase of getting the 6mm cubes photographed and ready to go live. |
We've been getting rain, but we'll probably have slush for a few hours early this morning, then it will leave. The grass might be covered with white, but I doubt it will stay on the sidewalks and parking lots. It's raining right now, but it isn't cold enough to freeze, so we'll luck out for a change. Since there's nothing much worse than driving on ice, I'm all for early Spring rain with above freezing temps.
 |
The problem with Spring snow isn't the amount - we're rarely getting multiple inches of snow in the Spring - it's the amount of water in the snow. It's HEAVY snow. and clearing the walk and driveway can be a chore because of the weight alone. |
Have a truly excellent day today. I'll be doing the usual grocery shopping and Ogre Juice making, I'll have to figure out what I want for Friday's dinner and in general, I'll be out and about for a bit today. I hope you stay safe and warm and think thoughts of peace. We need every bit of peace we can get these days. I'll be back tomorrow.
