Oh, this was a weird week. It started off with me purchasing a Bluehost subscription and trying to transfer my domain to WordPress and ended with me obsessing over the fact that my blog was nonexistent.
I didn't lose everything but you were not able to publicly access my blog and it freaked me out. I have 10 years of content on this domain and it was terrifying to have it be gone. That means 10 years' worth of social media posts, SEO, and links. For all of that to be gone was difficult to digest and I felt paralyzed by not knowing how to fix it.
It consumed me for 48 hours and I finally found a little workaround, thanks to someone on Fiver. My content calendar has been nixed for the week but we'll be back on schedule next week. By no means do I make my income from this blog but it is a huge part of my life and to be without it for even just a day or two was difficult. It consumed me.
That brings me to another issue which is my need to be impulsive. I've realized that as much as I am careful, I am equally impulsive. That corresponds to my shopping problem, my inability to stick to social plans, and so much else in my life. It is a real problem and I need to fix it. If I wasn't so impulsive, I would've done my research and migrated my site properly instead of doing it on a whim, with no real thought or care. It's just another lesson learned.
Aside from that, the week was a bore & it went by pretty quickly which I am grateful for. I have a four-day weekend, and two parties to attend so it'll be equal parts busy & slow, which I can't wait for!
Let's get into the roundup!
