Having Mother’s Day linner at Bar 145 and coffee at Tree City coffee
Tried to find a way to post from Day One to this WordPress blog today. Found out there is a newer version of Day One, so I updated both my MAC and Iphone for it. First the journal file won’t sync between the two. After trying different syncing server and after matching the Day One version on both devices, and syncing now to Day One server for both, they finally showed up on both. It was not clear from the get-go though.
Then trying to post a Day One entry to this wordpress blog was another hurdle. The email from the generic WP settings does not work. Went across a Google search result that mentioned Postie in my research. Installed it and the email from Day One has all been sucked in. Another hurdle jumped through.
All of this to solve the problem of sending images from the iphone easily to the blog with text. Now I can journal in Day One and choose to either post it by emailing it to WordPress or not. Mark this as an accomplishment for today.
I finally got the brush pen sample from Jetpen out today and tried them. It is easier with the form/hard pen than the brush pen as a beginner. However if I want to play with colors, I think I need to practice with the paint brushes. And I found I like the smaller ones, even the 00 size brush. And using a cheap set of water color from Michaels is more than sufficient for the purpose.
This is one of the things I am “playing” with since I took a break from ballroom dancing. I am reading more, journaling more, playing with colors and knitting more. Things I put aside when my focus was on dancing and taking 4-5 lessons a week. I was usually exhausted after the lessons and called it the day when I got home. Now I have a lot more time since I’m not spending 90 minutes commuting to and from the studio, plus time working on the computer after the lessons. I feel free and creative and turned my attention to more spiritual matters too. I don’t know where this will lead me, but I am ready.
