like a pinball

Today is a day of finding the path among a great many smallish but very real limitations.

I want to register the Everybody's Alice domain name and start up some web hosting for the site that's nearly ready to go, but I need to wait on a bit of revenue before that. And I need to finish writing that A2A installment, but should back it up with a little more research, which calls for more brainpower than I've got at the moment.

I want to do some online training that could lead to increased virtual assistant assignments, but I can't really focus on the computer screen for more than a few minutes at a time right now, since this damnable headache keeps loitering in my brain. My inner "don't wanna" is at high tide, too, since I suspect the recent uptick in headaches means I need to return to certain dietary habits that are better for me. ::sigh::

I want to do some sewing or indulge in deep-involvement crafting, but the children are all moving parts today, and somebody needs to be somewhere (or picked up from somewhere) every 1.75 hours throughout the day. Maybe Kira Deara and I will dig out some patterns and work out the details in muslin. Of all the kids, she's the most likely to enjoy making some of her cold-weather clothes here at home and then actually *wear* the items. But sewing with a seven-year-old isn't quite the same experience as sewing on one's own.

So I'm doing things a little at a time, and counting to ten. A lot. All in all, it's not a bad way to get through a day. Still. We all know how well I do the patience thing. :)

I ended up sticking with GoDaddy for my domain registration; they really ended up being cheaper than anybody else I looked at.

My get up and go has gotten up and gone somewhere too, but I gotta keep going; I'm something like 2 weeks behind on everything.

I'm right there on the patience thing; I SO get you on that.

Yes, my own homework and advice says to go with GoDaddy too.

I really dislike their sexist marketing but, similar to my dislike for shopping at WalNut, if others' prices were lower, I could afford to be snooty.

I'm using GoDaddy for the domain registration and another company for web hosting, actually. I prefer to divvy it up a bit, so I'm not 100% locked into any single company.

Absolutely! Me too. In fact, my friends here in the apt complex are doing my web hosting and it's *very* inexpensive and very reliable. If you'd like to talk to them about it, I can put you in contact.
