Happy Saturday!

Ahhhhhhhh the weekend is here! Finally!! I came home from work to spaghetti & meatballs simmering on the stove and even a bottle of wine sitting out! Ahhhhhhh now that’s a nice way to start the weekend … except now I’m enjoying a glass of wine and some little *&#%)(&# is sitting in his car parked under the window with his radio blaring so loud it’s making my windows shake. My weekend started out so good too… two different patients in for yearly eye exams, commented on the weight I’d lost since they were last in. That made my day! Especially since I haven’t budged in over 3 weeks (Yes, apparently I do need competition to lose even a pound). Now if I can just get my game hat back on…….. but right now… what I would most like to do is go outside and rip the stereo outta this little #&$#^@^#@ car with my bare hands!!

I’m Dusting Off Old Posts So Google Notices Me Again

You know that awkward moment when you run into someone you used to talk to every day and they clearly don’t remember your name? That’s basically my relationship with Google right now. So I’m fixing it. 🧹

Lately, I’ve been wandering through my older blog posts like a librarian with a red pen, updating headlines, polishing keywords, and gently reminding Google that yes, I’m still here and still weirdly productive. Updating old posts for SEO is like changing the batteries in your smoke detector. Nothing flashy, but suddenly everything works better.

I’m tightening things up, adding clearer headings, improving readability, and sprinkling in relevant links where they actually make sense. Not keyword soup. Not robotic nonsense. Just good content wearing better shoes.

Speaking of links, if you’re curious why this matters, Google itself has a surprisingly helpful guide on how search works. It’s worth a peek if you like knowing how the internet’s brain ticks.

And while you’re clicking around, this is also me casually pointing you to an internal post or two that needed a glow-up anyway. Old posts deserve love. And traffic. Mostly traffic.

Oh, and if you spot mentions of my monthly $50 Your Way giveaway, that’s not an accident. You’ll find that happy little temptation living in the sidebar. PayPal, Venmo, or gift card. Your choice. Every month. 🎉

So if things look a bit fresher around here, that’s me courting Google with better SEO and a side of charm. Wish me luck. And maybe click something while you’re here.
