It’s been an interesting week with a lot of technical issues: My recipe blog has literally “disappeared,” first of all. It’s simply not there. All the files have disappeared. I am dumbfounded. I think it happened when I was backing up. Pressed the wrong button? Tears have shed, as I’ve put hundreds of hours into the thing. I hadn’t backed up in a while, so I can only hope that I can salvage some of it…
The other deal is that I started online classes with an eikaiwa school. That’s how desperate I am for income! Not to diss the industry, but… well, let’s be honest, motives are profit-oriented only, meaning they give the student what they want, which is not necessarily what they need or in their best interests. There is also a large margin between what’s charged to the student and what’s received by the teacher. Let’s hear it for capitalism! I am not being entirely sarcastic, please note.
So, anyway, the classes are interesting, and the technology is good, but when something goes wrong online, it can be stressful… Or at least, I get stressed. It is also disconcerting if the student can see you but you cannot see them. I had skype on in the background for tech support and some creep rang me up in the middle of a lesson. Didn’t have the settings on right, obviously…
And no, it has NOT been a good idea to stop my daily blogs. I have not only gone to less that 50% raw, but I’ve added breads on an almost regular basis, and due to PMS have succumbed to processed chocolate. It could be worse, but no, I am not proud of myself. I’ve been a bit busy and this has not helped, but it’s not excuse. I ate some today.
Today I had:
green smoothie
cauliflower with nutritional yeast & potato
genmai onigiri with natto
snickers bar
red wine
