Hi fellow Steemians. I just wanted to know if something changed on Steemit on October 5 or was it just me. I had found it really difficult to upvote some blogs. 

Like the on the upvote button the thing kept on circling around for a long time. Then I would leave the computer and get something to drink and comeback and I still couldn't get it to upvote. 

Then some blogs I did upvote OK. Then back again with the circling around the upvote for a long long time. I could even watch a 5 minute video on Youtube and still the thing is circling around it and not completing. 

Then I tried to write a blog. It wouldn't work. Like the whole site went down for hours. 

Well I didn't want to lose my thought for the blog I wanted to write that I called, [Conversations With The Girl Who Is My Massage Therapist - October 2017](https://steemit.com/life/@david777111/conversations-with-the-girl-who-is-my-massage-therapist-october-2017) so I went to my email and wrote my blog there and when I finished I emailed it to myself. 

That is what I will do the next time the site goes down for me. 

Did anyone else go through these same problems?

If you enjoyed this blog please consider to upvote and follow.
Thank you, David.
