💸 Still figuring out the whole dinkiwinkiminkiwinki situation. I wouldn’t mind taking advantage of the free tier at Digital Press, but the blog is over 5GB, so that is not feasible. Their next tier is slightly cheaper than Ghost (Pro) but, the hassle of moving, and away from Ghost’s home…
💧 Raining all day long. Not a fan.
🩰 Tell me it’s ballet day without telling me it’s ballet day.
👀 While editing the Mexico post, I came across this one. It was already the second pick from the series, but I liked it a little better today.
🇲🇽 As promised, there’s a new post on dinkiwinkiminkiwinki. This time around, it’s Mexico. I feel I might get back to it, and edit a little, but had to get it out there. Enjoy.

🐌 The day is doooomed! We are late for school, will be late for everything!
Oh! I have no work today, I’ll be alright.
⏰ Woke up with alarm clock today. None of that up-before-time craziness, I was exhausted.
😰 Looking at the PikaPod specs that are powering the Ghost install, I can’t help but feel they’re a little underwhelming.
Is anyone running one of these?
💖 This week I’m also looking at another post on dinkiwinkiminkiwinki, and figure out how to move the whole thing from Ghost(Pro) to this PikaPods I keep hearing about.
Nice list. Free to expensive, simple to full-featured.
