My goodness, has it been busy!
Yesterday, I spent a good part of my morning trying to get Microsoft Outlook to play nice with my Google email. Why? I’d decided to use Microsoft Outlook as my default email platform. I haven’t used Outlook in years. I’ve just navigated to Gmail online or used the app on my mobile devices, iPhone, and iPad. However, I started using Microsoft 365, and I’ve always liked Microsoft Outlook, so I figured… why not? Accessing Gmail via Outlook was easy, however, when it came to sending emails. MS Outlook was not cooperating. Initially, I thought it might have to do with my Antivirus Software (Norton); however, I tried everything else before addressing that issue. A few hours later, I decided to disable Norton when it came to scanning outgoing emails, and guess what? I no longer have any issues with MS Outlook sending my emails.
I’m making advancing with Adjuster’s Pro, and the processes are becoming easier to understand the more I delve into the course. The past reviews/quizzes I’ve been receiving 100% my first time taking them. If my understanding of this course continues, as it has over the past few weeks, I’d be willing to take the exam within a few months.
Later today, I believe I will hop on my exercise bike while I knock out a few modules within the online class. Last evening, I attempted to play Skyrim on my computer. However, that didn’t go too well. The settings within the game were actually making me nauseous. My daughter explained to me it had to do with the harshness of the landscape within the game. She also mentioned that they have mods that address this. Perhaps I’ll try to install the game again. Hopefully, I won’t have the same issue.

Amazon offers updated delivery options
Did you know that Amazon has delivery within a few hours? It’s different than the two-hour delivery which has been active for at least a few years. With this new feature, you can order at night, and get your order delivered in the wee hours of the morning. Or… if you order during the day, you have a few choices of when you get your order later that day. It’s gradually becoming available in more areas. This feature was available in my area a few weeks before Christmas. It was my first time hearing about it when I received the offer with an order that I’d placed. Granted, you need to have an Amazon facility near your location in order to take advantage of this feature. Updated to add graphic and to differentiate between the two-hour delivery that’s already in place.
Iron Flask Water Bottle
About two hours ago, I purchased this 64 oz Iron Flask water bottle. I have several steel water bottles. However, not all of them are insulated. This one will keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot liquids for up to 12 hours. I should receive it sometime today between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. hopefully; it will arrive in the early evening since evenings before work, I’m usually in bed by 9:30 PM.
Fresh Baked Bread
Later today, I’m thinking of baking bread. Although I don’t eat too much bread, I enjoy baking it and sharing it with others. My daughter is very fond of my home-baked bread also, and so I do my best to keep it on hand. A household favorite is Japanese Milk Bread and Fluffy dinner rolls; both recipes are from America’s Test Kitchen.
Why do the weekends seem to fly by so quickly? Sighs…
