Learning New Things is Hard

In my first post I declared that I would be posting daily. It’s now at least a week later. Lucky for me, I still have not led anyone here to read, so I have no readers. That’s because I’m struggling learning this newfangled software. I used to learn software so easily. I thought like the computer, so I believed. It was all very logical and intuitive. 

But let’s face it. I’m old and things in the software world have changed drastically. I need demos, manuals, support and repetition. But, if one thing doesn’t work, I’m stuck and I can’t fix it! So I’m reaching stopping points very quickly in my process. For instance, while typing this, I accidentally deleted the entire thing, and this is my second shot. That occurred when I was trying to replace this photo of me and Todd with a nice picture, and just like that, it all disappeared. So I’m gonna publish this with Todd’s picture after all. This is us, finally, creating my blog that is 20+ years in the making, and it’s only because he told me to meet him at the library – or else – that it got done.

Here’s to another fucking day of sobriety. Trying new things, failing miserably, staying sober and trying again.
