Evie Day 340
Good morning, and happy Monday to you all. It is the beginning of a new work week. Today is 19 February 2024.
Today is President’s Day, one of those days on the calendar that read as a federal holiday, but in reality, it’s just another day of work for most Americans. I’ve got plenty to keep me busy as I have some emails to get out, a newsletter to write, and a couple of certifications/credentials to focus on. I think I have a Youtube segment to record as well. One of the guys on that Youtube team is taking some time away, so some of us need to step up and cover some extra sessions.
I’ve been on some new medication for about a week now. I think it’s helping. My anxiety level seems to be a bit lower and more manageable. The goal is to rein in my anxiety to lower my blood pressure and reduce the chance of something bad happening. Irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, and panic attacks are a bad combination. I feel ok right now, and I’ll take my pill with food here in a bit when I grab a bite to eat and get my first cup of coffee.
More stuff going on in the news. Trump is comparing himself to Navalny, the opposition leader in Russia that Putin killed off in a gulag north of the Arctic Circle. Of course, he did… meanwhile Trump acts as a Putin proxy in the US, pretty much doing everything he can to kill any kind of deal on the border or provide assistance to Ukraine. He has been pushing his new sneakers… no word if the new Trump kicks can cure bone spurs.
Kansas won a game on the road this last weekend. Road wins in the Big 12 are becoming a rarity for most teams, as the grinding schedule tenderizes just about every squad. KU has most of the week off, with no games scheduled during the week, and then action resumes on Saturday.
I’ll be back in my virtual classroom in another week for a four-day class, then I’ll have a month to focus on cloud solutions architecture.
I’m going to get this in the can and get started with my day. Lisa made fresh bagels yesterday (blueberry!), so breakfast became an easy choice today.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.

We skip taking today off so we can take the day after Thanksgiving off instead.
I successfully upgraded a Windows Server 2008 Standard virtual machine to Windows Server 2012 R2, and everything still works!!! Got the extended support key installed, and now our hosting vendor is much happier.
One of my best friends from MTSU days passed away last week, and I can’t stop weeping about the sudden and unexpected loss.
