Task List Sidelined

Do you run into situations where the universe is telling you "NOPE"? Well I certainly have tonight hahaha.

I hate when we have big plans for an evening. We are going to do all kinds of stuff. Get some bills paid, do some banking, write some posts, get to engagement and all that. Then we go to actually do the things and all of a sudden we hit a brick wall. That was my experience tonight!

I am one to use the evenings as my time to get shit done. I get a lot of things done during the day that's for sure but the evenings are where people are sleeping and I can get to cleaning, dishes and then relaxing with some Hive time and doing other tasks that I need to do. That is what usually happens.. except for when the universe is telling me that it just ain't in the cards tonight bro. Give it up!

I was having all kinds of issues tonight. I would get to the PeakD site then it wouldn't load fully. I let it sit there and spin for 30 seconds or so but it wasn't working. I tried to switch my node thinking it was a node issue but nope, that page errored out too. I was just getting fucked every direction LOL. I was then thinking it was a VPN issue and switched my connection to a different network. It sort-of worked but not really at the end of the day.

I gave my computer a reboot since it's been a little bit since I've done that but still no big improvements. I saw I had pending updates there.. so I gave the updates a go and another reboot. All the while I am wasting precious time for writing and other hive activities, plus normal household stuff. I was not feeling good about the trajectory of the evening let me tell you!

Ultimately it took another reboot and different VPN nodes to get things in an operational state. I tried to do some other sites for things I needed to get done like paying a bill or two but NOPE those weren't loading then it started to affect PeakD so I said fuck it, none of those things are getting done tonight that's for sure. I need to get a few things written and get on my way without wasting a whole night with tech issues.

I hate when these types of things happen, but it definitely makes you appreciate "first world problems". I know I say it all the time, but this being the problem of my day instead of starvation or getting my house destroyed or something is a far-cry better situation than many other people are dealing with. I know I shouldn't dismiss my issues, but it definitely keeps it in perspective for me to have these things happen!

After writing the post and uploading the images, I've realized that it's most likely an issue with my VPN sadly. I hope it resolves overnight and I can have a normal day tomorrow!

What about you, do you set out to do a few things in a day or evening and then there are all kinds of issues preventing you from accomplishing your goals? Let me know in the comments!
