“…wait –
you deleted WHAT?”
Buckle up for another true story!
It started like any normal day in the Cabana:
coffee on the desk, cats circling, yarn behaving suspiciously well.
A perfect moment to “just tidy up the website and online store.”
Fatal mistake...
Within ten minutes I had:
- WordPress open
- MailerLite open
- Shopify open
- A DNS tab open
- A tab I swear I didn’t open
- And at least three AI assistants staring at me like confused sheepdogs
I clicked one button—ONE—and suddenly the universe shifted.
My domain disappeared.
My shop reappeared.
My blog evaporated.
My Confessional duplicated itself like a Catholic miracle.
And every AI assistant started speaking to me in a tone that can only be described as
“Ma’am… please.”
Then came the moment.
The moment that will live in Cabana history.
I opened Shopify Sidekick, typed in my innocent little question, and Sidekick—this calm, unflappable digital creature—responded with:
“…wait—
you deleted WHAT?”
I have never felt more judged by a robot.
Miss Socks, sensing weakness, climbed onto the keyboard and added her own contribution:
“pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp.”
Honestly?
Her edits made more sense than mine.
Meanwhile, I was flipping between tabs like a caffeinated squirrel:
- WordPress: “Your domain is still here.”
- Shopify: “Your domain is not here.”
- DNS: “Your domain is everywhere and nowhere.”
- AI Assistant #1: “Let’s take a deep breath.”
- AI Assistant #2: “I’m trying my best.”
- AI Assistant #3: “Have you considered… not touching anything?”
At one point I whispered to the screen,
“I think I broke all of you.”
And the screen, I swear, whispered back,
“We know.”
But guess what , by 9pm I had:
- A WordPress site that lived
- A Shopify store that also lived
- A domain that was having an identity crisis
- And a brain that had melted into a puddle of mohair
But here’s the twist:
I didn’t break anything.
Not the internet.
Not the AI.
Not even the shop.
I just did what every fibre artist does when faced with technology:
I pressed buttons.
I panicked.
I persevered.
I swore softly (who am I kidding!?)
I made another coffee.
I kept going.
And eventually…
everything worked again. Because that’s the Cabana way. And tomorrow?
Tomorrow I’ll probably do it all again – but with stronger beverages…
