Okay, so I’m not dead.
However, I suddenly noticed that the blog was unavailable. I don’t know for how longs things hadbeen this way, but since my webhost moved my files to a new server a couple or a few weeks ago, things probably went bonkers at that time, and I didn’t notice it at first, having a lot to do with my various sites after that. It seems that one particular plugin was causing problems, so I just deleted it, and I’ll be checking things more thoroughly in days to come to make sure that there aren’t any more problems.
In the meantime, I’m happy to report that things have been going better. Not perfect, not suddenly right again, but better. I also go my license degree (probably with honors, if we had such a thing in my college), which is quite a relief, if you ask me. One more year to go, if everything goes as planned, and I’ll be where I wanted to be.
