I’m so glad to be getting rid of Bluehost. Overpriced and super bad service when we had problems. I had to hire other technicians to fix them.
Jessi’s new iPhone arrived today. The case will be here soon. I had extra screen protectors.
I had a talk with Ray at El Torreros today about two words in Spanish I wasn’t sure about and weren’t in the dictionary! They were “michelada” which is a drink they make mainly on the beaches in Latin America and “clavo” which means nail, but also can be a secret of some sort.
Couple of words I didn’t understand in English. Ever heard of shambolic or risible?
OYB!

Little drizzly today.
Ever seen white Easter eggs? Apparently, they weren’t very popular. I got nearly 600 for $6. That’ll preach. I just throw them out a few times and let the kids give them back to me for next year. I’m going to talk about the purity of Jesus. I also got candy. Spent about $100 in all. I’m looking forward to telling the Easter story on Thursday with the kids at the mission. I haven’t gone to the Mission this week because K needed me to take her to work and pick her up.
Gassed up my car and checked the oil. It’s about 1/2 on the stick. I’ll probably add more next fill up.
I bought K some new shirts for Easter.
All of my roses are blooming. They bring me such joy as do my other plants.
I rated Mostafa who helped migrate our websites from Bluehost to Knownhost. He was worth the money and a nice tip for sure. I gave J her new iPhone for all the help she gave us too.
Picked up K’s truck. So expensive. I’m glad it’s still hanging in there!
I’ll probably be in the top five this week.

Jessi, Mostafa and I worked on the website transfer from Bluehost to Knownhost till after 1:00AM. I was tired this morning.
Who can save this kind of money? That’s crazy talk.
OYB!
I came in third last week. This week I may only be in the top five.
K and I dropped off her truck on Saturday to Garmon, who are our mechanics. I heard from them today. Repairs will run about $2,400. Ouch. Fortunately, my tax money came back from the IRS. Great timing.
Our former website hosting company, Bluehost wanted to charge me $911 for expanding our server size. I already paid them $650 last week! I was so mad at that plus their app absolutely is the worst. I was literally shaking with anger. Wow. I got it worked out.
I’ve been losing weight. I drilled a new hole in my belt.
J and I were on the phone with Dr. Bill for over 1.5 hours this afternoon. We wanted to make sure that he know how to work the new website. J was a very patient teacher and it all worked out great in the end. Bill was happy and I was happy he was happy!
I had a problem with my blog which Jessi also fixed. Amen.
Just keep going.

Easter! He is RISEN! What a great day! Love you, Jesus!
OYB!
Español! I’ll come in third place this week.
I took K out for Easter lunch today. I bought her some new tops.
We are still having some issues with one of our websites. J and Mustafa did a lot of work yesterday. Hopefully, we can get the rest of the issues resolved soon.
I vacuumed the house today. It’s one of the hardest jobs I do. It’s harder than mowing! Although these days I don’t use a lawn mower. I do everything with a weed whacker.
I also swept.
I cleaned up my bike. I’ll probably put some more chain oil on it and pump up the tires again before I go for a ride. SOON!
I filled up all the gallon water jugs I use for my plants.
I cleaned the vacuum cleaner (meta!). I took it all apart and cleaned the roller as well.
Watered all my indoor plants.
Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “History of the Future.” Good one!

Figured out when I first got insurance for my Honda. I have a supporter who needed that information for her taxes because of a donation that was made.
I got a new phone for Jessi. I was planning on waiting till later in the Summer, but with the tariff fiasco with China I figured I’d better not wait.
J and I and our tech guy from Bangladesh, Mustafa, worked on getting our website moved over to a new host. It was super complicated. WAY above my pay grade.
Kathy’s car started running super rough. Probably a spark plug issue. We dropped it off at our mechanic’s place this afternoon.

Tim Deter helped K sign up for Medicare this morning.
I found a guitar stand that Penelope could use for her bass.
Español!
Talked to my Mom a couple of times today! Always a blessing.
Went to Dollar Tree to pick up some clipboards and pencil sharpeners for the Mission.
Finished a big project today. I got all my outside plants back outside. The weather should be temperate enough for them by now. We usually wait to Easter weekend. I used my Gorilla cart and a dolly to do most of the work.
Trimmed off the dead leaves and cleaned up the mess.
More room inside now.
Cleaned off the street and added some mulch to my cherry blossom tree, which still hasn’t put out any leaves.
Watered the plants.
Don’t stop.

Worked with Tim Deter on K’s Medicare program. We got everything done except him reading the coverage to K and her accepting it. I didn’t think she was needed for that part because I have power of attorney, but he thought it was better if we did it by the book. We’ll knock that out tomorrow morning with him and K.
I’m working on getting our websites transferred to another hosting service. Worked on figuring out where the domain names were located. I’m pretty sure all of them are with GoDaddy, but I couldn’t get logged in.
Watered the monkey grass the girls and I planted last week as well as my rose bushes.
Checked the mail and sent off the health insurance check for J. I also dropped off a check to our neighbor who coordinates taking care of the front entrance of our subdivision.
Made sandwiches for J.
I’m still trying to get the little plumeria branch to root. I think with the warmer weather I’ll have more luck.
Watered my indoor plants.
K came with me today to be with the girls. They stayed at their house with K when I went to the mission to help the kids. I took doughnuts for them.
Everly’s guitar and Penelope’s bass came in today.
Long talk with Bluehost again today. Billing issues. I’m ready to fire them and go to another hosting service that Jessi is using. I talked with my tech guy today too. He said he can get everything transferred over. I’ll start working on that asap.
OYB!
Cooler today. Very windy.
Español!
I picked up the girls at the bus and took them over to meet Bill Doverspike who had a check for me. Took them to eat and then went to the Mission to work with the kids. Busy.
Processed and deposited checks. Thank you so much, Father.
Good talk with my Mom on the way home. Always a blessing. She has a meeting with her surgeon tomorrow to see how her leg is doing. Father, help that go well!
Got gas and checked the oil.
Keep going!
My back started hurting again. Not too bad. Took some ibuprofen and got the heating pad going.
I alway enjoy Eric Barker’s blog. This one’s on hope!
I need to take care of this.
Watered my indoor plants.
OYB!
I came in third place last week.
Chatted with Bluehost again today.
I had a good talk with my Mom this morning. Always a blessing.
Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony.
I’m trying to get this piece of plumeria to root. It needs to be in a warm location so I put it outside this morning. It didn’t do a thing over the winter.
Went to my office to pick up and process checks. Then made a deposit at the bank. Thank you, Father!
Picked up the girls and fed them. Then to Azalea to help with homework.
Talked with a member from FBC Atlanta this afternoon. It’s always hard to talk about money with local teams. “We are coming to work.” I’m like, yeah, right. What are you going to do? It’s always me baby sitting them.
Cleaned the birdbaths and refilled feeders.
I’ll probably come in third this week, too. You can tell by what the people did last week how hard they’re going to work.

Janice is a new contact at FBA. I’ll be going over there soon to talk to them.
OYB!

K and I went to Rockbridge BC which is the host church for Whirlwind Missions. Many of our board members go there. Pastor Bill invited us to come to the seder that they were having today. I really enjoyed it. At the end, I did the Aaronic prayer in Hebrew which they loved.
Third place in the Finals.
I’ve rested most of the day with a heat pack on my back and taking ibuprofen. Feeling way better than yesterday. Thank you so much, Father!
