Trying to do all the things

Did you ever have one of those days? Where you try really hard to be focussed and achieve things and you even write down things on your to-do list that you’ve been avoiding thinking about for weeks but then despite your best efforts nothing works.

It actually started last night when I was trying to write an email and I wanted to include a (disclosed) affiliate link but in order to join the program that I’m pre-approved for, I had to verify my account. There are two ways to verify your account. One is to put a bit of code into your header, while the other is to send an email to the email address in your whois record.

Straightforward.

Except I have a forwarder on my domain home page, and the affiliate site wanted the actual home page. (And it has *just* occurred to me that if the forwarding isn’t kicking in for their bot, I don’t need to take off the forwarding, I can just stick a page in that it will pick up. Maybe.) It took me a while to work out that was what was going on. So then I thought I’d use the email technique but turns out my email address is obscured, so I thought I’d take that off but turns out you can’t do that online (you can’t update your domain registration online??) And yes, round in circles.

It set the tone for the day. A day when I added things to the to-do list way faster than I took them off, despite working pretty hard.

Don’t tell me what they say about tomorrow, I don’t want to know
