Overwhelmed, Overstimulated, Over-everything

August 6, 2026
I confess, I’m having a rough time. I was talking with my men’s coach and I was rather caught off guard when he said, “of course you’re feeling what you feel and you’re making all these bad decisions, it makes perfect sense”. It didn’t make sense to me, because I was so mentally tied up

Memes and Life’s Progression

July 24, 2026
I had quite the revelation deleting things from my phone. One of the things I do, is share memes on Facebook and Instagram (through Facebook). I often save a meme to my phone and then upload it, rather than sharing it outright, because if I upload it, it will go to both Facebook and Instagram

The Accident – Part Two

July 22, 2026
As I’ve mentioned before in the post titled The Accident, I was in a near-fatal car accident at the literal beginning of the year, well, five hours into it anyway. One of the things I was “gifted” with from the drunk driver, was a colostomy bag when they had removed six inches of my colon

Toenail Cutting And Other Unpleasant Things

July 14, 2026
I have never liked having my toenails cut. I still remember as a child not liking it when my mother cut my toenails and then used that pointy thing to clean out under the edges of the nails (which to be fair to her, is what she should have done, I just hated it). It

The Accident

July 10, 2026
On January 1st, a little after 5am, a drunk driver ran a red light going over 50mph and hit my passenger side as I was on my way to work. The next 4 days were filled with unimaginable pain and surgeries and I nearly died a couple times. God kept saying, “not today”. I won’t

I Don’t Want To People Anymore

July 8, 2026
It’s exhausting, trying to act normal. I’ve spent my life as an outsider, usually bullied, with only a few close friends because I was different (growing up, I didn’t know I was autistic). My interactions are often me simply copying what I’ve seen others do with mixed results ranging from acceptable to catastrophic failure. Even

Doing a test run

May 25, 2024
So my autoresponder has the ability to take the broadcast emails, such as this one, and create a draft post on my blog. I set that up today and I’m sending this email to see if it works. I hope you’re having a great day today. (It worked, yay!)

I’m so excited!

July 16, 2023
I’m SO EXCITED! I just finished a massive back-end project for my online business! It took longer than it should have, but you know what? I finished it. Was it easy? No. Is it perfect? Probably not. Is it done? ABSOLUTELY!!! The point is, I didn’t give up, even when it was taking way too

Sweaty Shop has moved… again

March 20, 2023
As you can tell by the different URL, I moved Sweaty Shop to here, jeffwoodonline.com. As much as it pains me to move it… again…. it just keeps making sense. Sweaty Shop, a play on “sweatshop” is the name of my business, however, it’s not terribly descriptive. Jeff Wood Online is much better. It’s accurate

How NOT to Organize Your Blog AKA Digital Property

July 7, 2022
Full Disclosure: This post is one of those “do as I say, not as I do” type deals. 🙂 Have you ever wondered what the best way to organize your blog and all the things that go with it (sometimes referred to as “digital property” or “digital real estate”? If you look at this blog,
