Well it has been a while since my last update, but a lot has happened!
First off on the chronicle of the cicciona, I joined a gym. I have not been on the scale, because I know that the first two weeks, you are breaking muscles and there is inflammation and the such. So, maybe next week I will weigh in. Diet wise, not so much. But hey, we are all human.
In other good news, I was able to put on my dress for oktoberfest, it was a little tight zipping up but, hell I fit, so I’m not too far off track!
On the bad news front. We had one heck of a rainstorm and the river overflowed about 3 meters. It was crazy. But, no one was hurt and everything is fine.
I have been studying the biofeedback system and I have made progress on the Ayruvedic Medicine program. Also I think I have finally finished translating all the pages I wrote in English for my web page into Italian.
I will put that live sometime soon. But I decided to call my studio Bisogna Prevenire. It is a play on words. I like to think I’m clever. But I also sought out the counsel of my father-in-law. We have a saying here “Prevenire è meglio che curare” It’s better to prevent than to cure. And since I’m re-starting in a more holistic way that fits perfectly and since my last name is Bisogna. Bisogna means to need. So it all fits in perfectly.
Last week, I was preoccupied with the fact that I lost the digital file of my cookbook. Let me explain. I had an old copy of Office 2013 that I was using on my windows laptop. Point 1. I hate windows, and I use my mac for everything, I just got the template for the cookbook and it was in word format, and pages wouldn’t open it correctly. so I couldn’t use pages to edit it. And thus, I had to use my windows laptop. So I was editing the second round of edits like more than half way through the book, and word locked up. and then crashed. I didn’t think anything of it, so I restarted the computer and Started word and went to open the file and…….. nothing, nulla, niente. It gave a error that the file was unable to open because of some error with xml. So I decided to try to edit the xml code, that was a rabbit hole, because I would fix one and then another error would pop up… So, I gave in and decided that I would just download a new version of word. Why the heck to do you have to pay monthly for all these stupid programs now. Photoshop 9bucks a month, word.. same thing. It’s a racket and I don’t like it. I like to just be able to buy a program outright. That is why I was still using word 2013. meh. Furthermore, I tried to open the file with the new word and it said the file was proprio corrupt. So I decided to just go back and re-do everything. Then I had an idea. I would try to open the file with the macintosh, so I transferred the file over to my mac and clicked on the file to open it and viola, pages fixed whatever error it had and opened it. I then resaved it and transferred it back over to my pc. And bam, it was there but the formatting was all different. So I opened up the last version I had saved before the round two edits and renamed that file as the second edits and went to copy and pasting and re-formatting. 1 week later, I am up to date and waiting for the editor to send more files. Ok that was a lie, she sent me 20 pages yesterday and I’m going to work on those. I did change the way I was saving my file. Everytime I do about 10 pages, I save it under a different name. “libro fino al pagina 130” etc. So I have learned a lesson. Also with the new word, the computer seems to be running faster and better. So plus all around.
I am behind on recipes, I was just transferring a bunch of pictures to my mac from my phone…
And that is about it, I hope everyone is doing well.
Ciao Y’all!
