It's been an incredibly frustrating day for me. The kids were sick which means I couldn't go walking or run the numerous errands that I need to get done. It meant that a large part of what I had planned on getting done, simply didn't happen.
As of bedtime, the kids are feeling a better. Unfortunately, Emmett is back to not being able to sleep in his own bed. He was doing really well for the last couple of weeks. He would still wake up on occasion and race into my room but he was falling asleep in his bed. He's usually pretty upset when he wakes up because he had a nightmare. He curls up next to me, shaking and it takes time to calm him down enough that he falls back a sleep. It's heartbreaking, it really is.
I didn't have any business come in today and while that sucks, it happens. I've been lucky enough to have a pretty steady flow of business recently and that's really helped. It's only Monday and I have the rest of the week to get make on track.
A large part of my day was spent migrating my podcast to a new host. Anchor is what I've been using but there's too many bugs and it was causing me a ton of extra work that I just don't have the time or patience for. It took me a little while to locate an option that would be a good fit but I finally did. Unfortunately, I've had to move to a paid service. Anchor was free but it was a nightmare for me. The podcast still more than pays for itself. It's less than $20/month and it seems to have solved my problems.
In order to make the move, I ended having to remix everything and reupload it to the new host. They automatically import everything and that's super helpful but it also leaves in Anchors ad spots that A) I'm not getting paid for and B) are no longer relevant.
It took me all day to get everything done for the current season. I haven't decided if I'm going to remix the first season. The quality was pretty bad and it's probably not worth the headache.
All I have left to do is wait for Anchor to redirect my RSS feed and I'm good to go. This needs to get done soon cause I can't really publish anything until that happens.
Anyway, tomorrow is a new day and I think the kids will be back to school. That means I can go walking and clear my head before my interview at noon. I'm excited about next week's guest because it hits pretty close to home for me right now. I also need to line up another interview for next week.
I'm gonna try to get Mr. Emmett in his own bed and then call it a night. He couldn't sleep and asked if he could snuggle next to me. He's out and I should be able to move him. I'm so proud of myself for getting this post done. Writing has been harder for me lately and when I'm able to get some writing done, it feels really good.
