As I write this, Gmail is down. Or next to down – crawling along at glacial pace. So I’m taking this window of time to do my weekly celebrations check-in. It’s almost finished! Only a couple of weeks until we reach the one-year mark. And then I’m going to let it go.
I’ll explain further in a post to come, but a little foreshadowing now won’t hurt. Things around here are about to change.
I’m currently in the process of a website re-design. The part of this process I find the hardest is trying to determine my audience so I can best suit their interests. Up until now, my site updates have prioritised functionality (like mobile responsiveness) while attempting to keep up with basic layout trends. I’ve paid people (friends, mostly) who have the skills to do the bits I can’t and then done the rest myself. As a result, the site has never felt truly unified – more an assemblage of cherry-picked ideas. I hope this next step aligns everything to where it (honestly) really should’ve been by now. After all, this blog is almost ten years old. Truly grown up!
So if you’ve read this far, I like to think that this means you’re a part of my audience and I’d love to hear what YOU would like from ME moving forward. (Ugh, I know. It’s an overused phrase.) It would mean a lot. Thanks.
What am I celebrating this week?
My stitches are out! Round two of stitches. The basal cell carcinoma was taken out in January, but there weren’t enough ‘clean lines’ for my dermatologist. So more area around the original scar was removed just to be safe. That was a few weeks ago. These stitches were removed this week. But I have to wear this tape for ANOTHER MONTH because the scarring is in a delicate place (thin skin, lots of movement). Absolutely no weight lifting for another SIX WEEKS.
But everything is fine, that’s the bottom line. That’s worth a dance.
What are you celebrating this week?
