Google, Blogger, and I have a love/hate triangle going on right now. This is the second or third time I’ve been locked out of my peacefulreader blog. I pay for a domain name and somehow about a year ago Google decided that all paying domains would be part of G-Suite and it’s been nothing but trouble for me. In other words it’s not hitting my sweet spot.
Tonight, while I do have homework and a good book to read, I felt the need to solve the problem. I’m tired but it suddenly dawned on me that somehow it was not “reading” my G-Suite admin account. I tried a few more times to log in with no luck. One of our school techie’s advice is about turning the computers off, really off. So I logged everyone off my laptop, which should NOT be a family computer but is, and shut the whole thing down. While I was logging off it seems that Groovy Girl had herself logged in on a second Google page with Netflix up as well. So even though I was logging myself in as myself and then also as an administrator it was not really logging me in. The thread of her was being pulled from another page.
Once I turned the whole system back on and logged myself back in it didn’t even ask for the admin information it just let me back in. Whew. I feel so much better, less out of touch. Speaking of being in tough, I’ve spent the last two nights watching movie with Anton.
A movie or a book can help you see a bigger picture, give you empathy, make you laugh, or think, or dream. Same with a book. Video games are only going through repetitive motions. And even streaming shows can now get to an addictive phase I still think the lure of gaming for hours on end can be harmful. Those that are avid video gamers can probably argue this with me. I’ll take a book or movie for entertainment any time.
I have a whole ‘nother post I was working on about The Handmaid’s Tale before the shut out occurred. I’ll get back to that in a day or two. We have dance recital this Saturday-that’s an all-day event. And I’m working on grading library assignments and assessments in between teaching classes and adding in new books. I was able to spend the last of my budget money on a trip to our local Barnes and Noble last night. It was incredible-especially as kids pawed through the 2 boxes today looking at treasures. Seven of the books now have sticky notes denoting who gets what first. The joy of book lovers!
