- ==Warning: I forgot to a add bleep toward the end== - ![](https://youtu.be/jB3UtzQpikQ) - \[00:00:00\] My name is Michael and I have two cats - \[00:00:06\] Here, besides my cute cats, is Obsidian Canvas - \[00:00:13\] One of those two cats, Peanut, developed a life-threatening chronic condition a few months - \[00:00:18\] after I adopted them. - \[00:00:21\] This chronic condition requires me to monitor his litter use daily and can definitely be - \[00:00:25\] stressful for both of us. - \[00:00:28\] The same month as his diagnosis, I myself was diagnosed with complex trauma. - \[00:00:33\] Complex trauma can impact someone's cognition or memory, and so I've been using apps to - \[00:00:39\] try to stay organized. - \[00:00:45\] The particular app I'm going to talk about here is Google Keep because it let me take - \[00:00:50\] short transcribed voice notes that would help me to figure out when did Peanut last pee. - \[00:01:03\] This is a video of Google Keep taken back in October. - \[00:01:08\] Essentially when I open the app it says, hey you have to do a refresh. - \[00:01:13\] I hit the refresh button and figure it's going to be fine. - \[00:01:17\] It then says that the refresh failed and that syncing won't be functional until it succeeds. - \[00:01:23\] I hit try again because, you know, this is not something I really care about. - \[00:01:27\] I just want to get past it and couldn't get past it. - \[00:01:33\] This problem definitely changed my relationship with Google Keep. - \[00:01:37\] I went from feeling like it was very helpful and could do what I needed it to do to feeling - \[00:01:43\] like I couldn't do this thing and it needed its help and it couldn't do it anymore. - \[00:01:49\] Now let me play a short video here about Spoon Theory. - \[00:01:54\] You notice it's actually probably my fault. - \[00:01:55\] You know, I think I'm like a malfunction magnet because your shit keeps malfunctioning around me. - \[00:02:01\] A demo bot just tore through landm- - \[00:02:03\] Okay, it turns out that actually was not Spoon Theory. - \[00:02:08\] That was Detective Spooner from the same meme. - \[00:02:11\] But the point stands. - \[00:02:12\] It's frustrating when tech doesn't work and I wanted to find a solution.
