Healthy Feet!!

Don’t you just love the internet? You can find information about absolutely EVERYTHING!! I was looking for help with my feet, these puppies have a lot of hiking to do in Yosemite.

Feet With Shooting Pain

So, when I started having shooting pains in my foot I wanted to find out what the heck it was from!! This infographic (which has disappeared) has a ton of really great information all about feet. Some of those pictures look so painful!! OUCH!!

The Fix For Painful Feet

I am impressed with the different exercises they show that will help with your foot pain. Seriously?! Exercises for your feet? I had no idea. I do now!! I like that these are all exercises that I can do while I am sitting at my desk! SWEET!!!

I bought new hiking boots for this trip! I am in the process of breaking those in. If you are a regular follower, you know two years ago I lost both of my big toenails. Yes, both of them. Stupid, BAD, hiking BOOTS!!

Determined that I did not waste allllll that money on those stupid, BAD, hiking boots, I wore the same ones last year and yes, lost both toenails again!! I am very hard headed!! For the record it takes exactly a FULL year to regrow your toenail. This year I am DETERMINED to come home with toenails in tact!!

What about you? How are your feet?

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Bust Ghosts)

Updating old content is a bit like digital archaeology: you head in to dust the archives and end up unearthing questionable life choices from 2016. Between the over-filtered photos and advice that’s aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud.

Lately, I’ve been dealing with a resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine. This digital poltergeist has been busy:

• The Vanishing Act: Deleting images and leaving empty boxes where tutorials used to be.
• The Link Graveyard: Swapping brand partners for sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Reverting modern text to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

How to Refresh Your Blog (and Bust Ghosts)

I’m giving my archives a facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing. Here’s the plan:

1. Exorcise 404s: Use a plugin to find and fix dead links.
2. Update the “Now”: Swap 2019 recommendations for 2026 essentials.
3. Spruce up Metadata: Ensure the focus keyword (blog) is in headers and the first paragraph for maximum SEO impact.

Stick Around!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house, check out these (very much alive) links:
