Done Since 2022-01-09

Not a bad week. Nothing disastrous happened (to me -- things weren't so good in Tonga yesterday), and I actually got a few things done. And tried to figure out what I did last year. (I'm sure I forgot some things -- I've been having a little more trouble than usual with my memory the last few days.)

I shipped $writing-gig-6 without doing much more on it -- I suspect that the reason I got stuck was that I couldn't think of anything I needed to add. Or maybe I was just lazy -- hard to tell.

Most of my headspace during the last week was taken up by Going Sideways. Naomi has been doing all the writing so far (I'll take a turn eventually) and taking the photos, and I've been getting the text and photos into WordPress and posting them (posts go up Tuesday and Friday). I expect that to get easier eventually, but for now browbeating WordPress into doing what I need it to has been an ongoing problem. Browbeating as in beating my brow against the keyboard.

It has gotten easier since I've switched to the block editor. WPBakery, the WYSIWYG page builder used by our web designer to construct the site, is an ongoing nightmare. Fortunately I can mostly avoid it now, at least for post content. At this point the main problem is images. I never did get the hang of images.

Tuesday I was reminded by a blog post that broken-heart syndrome is a thing. Not my thing yet, and hopefully not ever. I was, however, fascinated by the official name for it, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo is Japanese for octopus trap.
