TENNIS Elbow??

DH was in getting more blood work done. (We have our own set of mugs down at Scripts! Next week I think they deliver the matching recliners) See a wall-to-wall waiting room for the lab I figured DH would be a while and I had time to go to urgent care for my arm.  My elbow is killing me!  I try and lift anything and it shoots horrible sharp pains down my arm.  My fingertips are numb….and blah blah blah… Anyway, I’m there…. why not go ask WHY!?!?  and more importantly can you make the pain GO AWAY!?!?!

Bottom line?  Tennis Elbow.  SAY WHAT?!?!  I can’t have TENNIS ELBOW!  I hate tennis. It is not fun. I don’t want to chase a stupid little yellow ball around the courtyard.  I’m also a firm believer that the person that thinks this is a fun game, they should have to run and retrieve any (okay ALL) errant balls. I played one time in the 70’s it was enough. Enough to know it wasn’t fun and it gave me TENNIS ELBOW!!  ; )

I’m on a strong dose of steroids to try and fix the elbow. Steroids make you balloon up!!  Apparently, the doctor did not read yesterday’s post?!?!  I said I wanted to make my weight go DOWN!!  GESH!!!  (Okay, okay settle down I know that 50 little Steroid pills will not make me turn into the female Arnie spouting “Let me pUmp you UP”  But still………
So my elbow hurts but the painkiller drugs are AmaZing!!

Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter

If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal.

I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup.

While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof. Into the digital ether. This can only confirm one thing: peanutbutterandwhine.com is haunted.

There is no other explanation. Sure, it could be old hosting changes, platform migrations, or me being wildly optimistic about my organizational skills a decade ago. But let’s be honest. It’s ghosts. Internet ghosts. Possibly annoyed by my early font choices.

So here I am, updating old posts with new images, clearer formatting, better internal linking, and SEO-friendly structure so Google can finally understand what I’ve been yelling into the void all these years. I’m also making sure posts connect to each other logically, like linking back to my ongoing fun stuff such as the Monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway right here:
👉 https://peanutbutterandwhine.com

Internal links help readers stick around, help search engines crawl the site, and possibly appease the spirits living in my archives.

I’m also adding relevant external links to trustworthy sources, because Google appreciates good neighbors. For example, SEO best practices straight from the pros over at Moz:

The goal isn’t to rewrite history. It’s to make sure my content is still useful, readable, and visible in a world where the internet changes faster than my craft room fills up.

If you stumble across a refreshed post, missing photos, or suspiciously improved clarity, just know it’s intentional. And if something disappears again overnight… I’ll be lighting a sage bundle and updating my alt text.

Stay tuned. The ghosts are watching. 👻
