Reboot Redux

Rebooting life and blog in 2023

Since 2017, I’ve spent most of my time and energy caregiving for my husband after a traumatic brain injury and then through treatments for two types of cancer. This left little time or energy for anything else. The past year has been taken up with getting his estate through probate, and dealing with my own health problems. During this time, there have been multiple updates to WP and the theme/plugins I’m using, all of which are now totally messed up. I’m hoping to get back in gear in this year. Wish me luck?

Dusting off the blog

[blows dust off keyboard]
Testing…testing…one…two…three…Does this thing still work?

Haven’t posted anything for almost two years, since my husband started his latest set of medical crises. Full-time caregiving has put my business and most of the rest of life on hold. Things seem to be settling down, finally, so I’m re-starting semi-regular posts.

Mount TBR (To Be Read) Challenge 2019

Haven’t participated for the last few years (see today’s previous post) but I want to get back in my reading groove. To find out more about MyReadersBlock’s annual challenge, please see her blog post.

https://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2018/10/mount-tbr-reading-challenge-2019.html

To be kind to myself, I’m going to do two things:
1) sign up for a lower level of the challenge, and
2) list books as I finish them instead of publishing my list in advance.

If you decide to play along, please let me know by commenting here, or by contacting me on Twitter (@katnagel) or on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/katnagel). See you on the slopes!

It’s that wonderful time of the year

Another year without blog posts. Time and energy spent caregiving, an unsuccessful bathroom renovation, and dealing with my own health issues has left precious little time and energy for either reading or writing. Hoping this coming year will be different.

As usual, the latest WP updates have seriously interfered with my theme modifications. It’s been a long time since I last did a child theme, so I’ve been doing a lot of reading. Things have changed a lot since 2009! The parent theme I’ve been using since 2009 is apparently not being updated any more. I’ve found and purchased a similar one, and will build my new child theme on that. In the meantime, I’ve switched over to the standard Twenty Seventeen from Automattic.

In addition to building the child theme, I’ll have to fiddle with sidebars and menus. For now, please be patient while I delete old stuff that no longer works, and try to get back in the habit of writing regular blog posts. Looks like I also need to update my SSL certificate. Oh, joy.
