#IAmChallenged - Day 2.5 (#IAmAliveChallenge, #LukeIsAlive, #MyHiveGoals, & #IAmEngaged)
I don't know how it happened, but somehow the post I put together yesterday has vanished into thin air. I will do my best to recreate the content as best I can remember (thus the Day #2.5).
===========================================================
#IAmAliveChallenge #HiveIsAlive
Well, it looks like I am challenged in more ways than one. It was pointed out to me (nicely) that I had used the wrong hashtag for this section in my Day #1 post. However, I have rectified that situation and will try not make that mistake again in the future. My apologies to @flaxz.
I am alive and well and a little more rested today (but not much). I actually got five hours sleep last night instead of the two or three that I have been getting for the past few nights. I did have about an hour nap yesterday afternoon. I also slept about an hour and a half about 9:00 AM this morning (I was trying to make it without the energy drink this morning, but just couldn't hold my eyes open).
In local news, the area bars are once again closed and restaurants have reduced capacity from 75% back down to 50% due to the consistent increase of COVID-19 cases in our state and our county. Also, no outdoor event for more than 100 people without approval from the local government. Texas currently is one of the top two states in new cases and the last I heard, Dallas County ranks in the top ten counties nationwide.
As for me, I have been furloughed since March 17 and, except for going on walks through the neighborhood, I have only been about half a dozen places (all with around half a dozen people of less) since then. I have asthma (putting me in the high risk category) and don't want to risk catching it.
My daughter was exposed to someone at church that had tested positive about three weeks ago, so we self-quarentined for fourteen days to make sure nobody in our household had any symptoms. Other than that, I am blessed to say that nobody in my family or circle of close friends has been touched by the virus.
On the bright side, though, I have had plenty of online time to increase my engagement. :)
===========================================================
#LukeIsAlive
Yesterday's chase went a little faster that my initial trackdown of this little guy, but I am hoping to streamline this process a bit more as I become more familiar with what I am doing. Here we go:
===========================================================
#MyHiveGoals
As @robwillmann mentioned yesterday (see entry below), these goals grow as we stack success upon success with consistency. I realize these numbers will grow slowly, but that is why I expect them to take the rest of the year. Hopefully, they will begin to snowball little-by-little as my followers increase.
Here are the numbers for today:
| Description | Goal | Current | % Complete |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIVE Power | 1000 | 30.615 | 3.1% |
| CTP Power | 10,000 | 1401.608 | 14.0% |
| Followers | 200 | 27 | 13.5% |
There was something else that I though about yesterday that I wanted to add to this list, but I cannot, for the life of me, remember what it was. If it comes back to me (and that is a BIG if), I'll add it later.
===========================================================
#IAmEngaged
I thought this section looked a bit cluttered the way I did it before, so I decided to make the titles clickable for the links for ease of readability.
@noemilunastorta - "My grandparents limoncello and their story." is a wonderful account of family overcoming struggles and passing on a delicious (I am assuming) tradition.
@robwillmann - "[Stacking success upon success occurs when you use #myHiveGoals - June 26, 2020] (@robwillmann/wblnjecg)" is Rob explaining his goals and how they build upon themselves.
@trucklife-family - "THE CALL TO BE A NOMADIC FAMILY" tells about living an unusual lifestyle and makes a wonderful family story to pass along as a part of their family history.
@jongolson - "The Cross Canada Adventures of Jongo - Day 4 - We Made It!" continues the documentation of their move across the continent (definitely a story to pass along to family).
@bigtom13 - "Travels With Connie #57 Stonehenge" interweaves a visit to a landmark with how it relates to the storytellers own family history.
===========================================================
So that is Day 2 of #IAmChallenged recounted on Day #3. Hopefully, I will get this published today and I will continue with a new collection for Day #3 (even though I will be taking tomorrow off and will be posting on calendar Day #5) just to cut out any confusion (I know I'm getting confused). Anyway, I am planning to be back on Monday.
