I have to say I am a bit surprised at this because yesterday was such a tough day. I am sad about my mom&#8217;s declining health due to Alzheimer&#8217;s. Alzheimer&#8217;s is a cruel condition and it is frightening and worrying to those suffering from it. My mom is being moved into memory care but her apartment won&#8217;t be ready for a bit so I am pitching in to help care for her during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel flush with ideas that just <em>might<\/em> work. I believe I could pull it off and it is somewhat exciting. I admit I had to change my attitude towards AI to make it happen. I am now seeing how I can leverage AI to make some of the things that were impossible for me to do on my own, very marketable. I do have a visceral hatred for AI because it&#8217;s making some professions obsolete. But I think I can exploit AI for at least awhile to get a tidy sum of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For today, I\u2019m going to be productive. I want to set up the e-commerce platform for my business. I will end up using WooCommerce for its tight integration with WordPress. I\u2019ve got a bunch of other little administrative things to take care of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to do my mother proud. I have some SMART goals in mind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, as the title goes I am going out on a limb here to say I am doing quite well mentally and emotionally this morning.
