Hello, Cupcake. It's Me, a podcast with your host, Michael Peterson.

Participant #1:
Hey, everyone, Michael here with Hello, Cupcake, it's me, a podcast. Today is May 15 and how are you? If you haven't done so already, please hit the like and subscribe buttons and let's get right into it, shall we? So I'm so sorry that there's been a little bit of a lapse. I'm on day ten of dealing with covet and just being sick as an adult. And let me tell you, I so miss being sick as a kid. Like when you were a kid. At least when I was growing up in the early eighty s and ninety s, you would stay home, you would watch Bob Prices, right, with Bob Barker. You would get chicken noodle soup, seven up, and life was grand. You don't ever remember time just passing by so freaking slowly. When you were sick as a kid, it seemed to just fly by. Being sick as an adult is like a death sentence because nine times out of ten, you're having to do everything for yourself. So you're usually single Prices, right? Isn't on anymore. And if it is, it sucks because it's got you carry on there and you just lay in bed and exist in this, like, half life, half death cocoon of sickness and sorrow and. Yeah, so ten days, guys. Ten long freaking days. I'm so done with it. Just so done with it. I had a telehealth appointment with a new doctor the other day because my doctor didn't have any time. So I asked the doctor to just give me a Z pack. And I usually have a Z pack prescribed to me twice a year, once in November, and the other time sometime in January, February. Those are the two times a year that I typically get sick, usually in February, more so than any other time of the year. Well, this doctor did not want to give me a Z pack. I don't think it's going to do anything. And we don't want to give Z packs out because it lessens their potentability or their whatever word she used. I'm like, listen, I have other things going on. That Z pack is going to help. Just prescribe it for me. If it doesn't help, awesome. If it does help, even better. No, no, we're not going to do that. Blah, blah, blah. So I'm going to get in touch with my doctor tomorrow and be like, listen, I need a Z pack. If you want to do a telehealth appointment with me, let's get this done. But this needs to happen more sooner than later. And I also think I have fluid retention in my right ear because it's like plugged up and it hurts and it's causing me to have, like, vertigo and yeah, I'm falling apart. Guys,

Participant #1:
this all came from a lady who gave me an iPad. She showed up, she's like, I have a little bit of a sore throat. So I just wanted to make you aware. And she gave me an iPad. So it's brand new to me, but it's been out for a while. It's an iPad Air too. So a couple of years old, but the second she handed it to me and I brought it in my house, it felt like hot rain all over my face and all over my body. And I was like, son of a bitch. Like whatever she has, it just attacked me. So I was like, okay, fine, you're going to be sick. There's nothing you can do about it now. It's already energies. My body reacts weird to things. And so whenever I feel that hot rain sensation, I know, okay, this is that virus, like breaking through my natural immunity and got to suck me up for a while and sure, shit, here we are. Sick for ten days.

Participant #1:
Yeah. So one lady gave me an iPad and another lady gave me a MacBook, and I cannot figure out how to make the MacBook Air work. Like I am a PC Android person. The iPad. That was simple, that was already reformatted and ready to go. But the imac or the MacBook, it will not connect to the internet and it's just basically a paper wait with an electronic pulse right now until I try to figure out how to make it work. But yeah, so the new technology came with a price and the price was that I had to get covet and be sick

Participant #1:
in dealing with that.

Also, a couple of days ago, I posted on YouTube on the YouTube community tab about things. I'm just trying to get a better idea of stuff. One of the questions was how do you interact with Hello Cupcake, it's me. Is it YouTube only Instagram through the blog, through this, through that or whatever else? Then I asked another question like, have you visited the blog? Yes. No, I didn't even know you had a blog. And I asked yet another question from that about like the content I provide. And a lot of people said that they didn't even know that I had a blog. And I swear to God that I mentioned the blog and all of my Cross promotions and stuff and at the beginning and the ending of all my videos and I know that I mentioned it here on the podcast, but maybe people just don't know the URL or whatever. So if you're one of those people that didn't know that I had a blog and would like to go check it out, it's Hello Cupcake, it's me.com. Super easy to remember and real easy to get to. So that has given me some eye opening information. And I've been thinking about if I should keep the blog up and going because the blog is actually what started everything that I've done with Hello Cupcake, it's me and there's a lot of information in there and a lot of like just my heart and soul poured into those posts and it really has taken on a multitude of different like iterations over its lifespan. Like I started up in 2009 or 2010 and it's still going today. I don't update as much as I probably should but I do plan on trying to get that more frequently updated.

Participant #1:
Let me know what you guys think. Do you want to only have one way of interacting with me or do you want to have the ability to interact with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, on the blog or the YouTube channel or do you not really care? It would be really grateful to have that information because like I said every year I try to do something new with the blog but the last year and a half I've really just kind of let it sit there and it actually cost me money to keep the blog up and going because I have to pay for the.com and I just don't know if I want to do that anymore so kind of looking for community input since you're the ones listening to me and consuming my content, what do you think? So anyways, I'm going to wrap this up now. It's going to be a nice quick little podcast here. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to you making longer ones once I get feeling better or whatever. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns put them in the comment section and if you want to leave me a message go ahead and shoot me a message here on anchor.
