Lately, I have been working any number of software issues related to various sites and applications, including a token problem with one of my Instagram applications (see here and here), a Wordpress issue with my real estate site, and the live sports scores on the WiredPages Sports page. I am incurring a security handshake problem with the sports scores feed and have yet to find a solution that will not offend my web host.

In addition, I setup my new Amazon Shop and uploaded my first product (cake turntable) video for the shop.

That said, I have also been preoccupied with losing weight. I am having success and can see the difference in the old photos and videos versus the new. So much so, I wanted to delete a lot.

On the right, a screen recording of my Google Fit stats for today, May 17, 2026 right after completing my morning workout session. Since late February, I have been averaging between 15,000 to 19,000 steps per day.

Below, some of the new items I have added to my closets for Summer 2026 activities and vacation.

Recently, I also purchased a black evening fur jacket. I have been searching for this jacket for about 2 years and cannot believe I finally found the perfect fur to pair with many of my evening fall/winter outfits. This is the link for the jacket. I am about 140 lbs, 5'6" and ordered the small based on reviews.

I am very pleased with this jacket.
