You’re never too old to learn.
That seems to be a lesson the universe keeps sending me lately.
I need to learn new things so that I can be better at the new job I hope to get. That’s good, and I’m working on it. I’ve already taken three classes and have at least three more I’d like to take over the summer.
I need to learn new things so I can be better at blogging. This one is a bit harder – I’m trying to figure out how to set up the Google Analytics for the blog, and I’m struggling. I need an Analytics ID, but to get that I have to set up a Google Property (whatever that is?) and when I follow the links they show, I get stuck.
The directions says to go to the admin section, but I don’t seem to have one. 😦 I’m sure I’m just missing a step somewhere, but after several failed attempts, I’m going to leave it for another day when I have more patience.
This weekend I also learned that I am forgetful. I was so happy about all the progress I made with my mini painting (see here and here) and thought I had only 5 or 6 left besides my CR KS minis.
Until I went downstairs to put away the minis I had finished, and discovered this:
A whole tray of unpainted minis. These are mostly minis we bought to use for our PCs, and then promptly forgot about. Gah! This isn’t even all of them, as I pulled some of them out of the tray. I cleaned off mold lines and flashing and then washed them.
My initial reaction was just to ignore them, but then I thought I could use them for painting experience/experiments, if nothing else. More learning! And, since I will need to take photos of them as I go, even more learning!
I’m starting to finally consider myself on summer vacation, even though I’ve been off work since mid-March. So, I will continue painting, photographing, and learning. I’m even trying my hand this year at gardening, so we’ll see how that goes. 😛
