  70. Today was mainly a day of catchup.
  71. After returning home from work, I sat down and wrote up my weblog entries for the past three days without any notes.
  72. I worked from memory and wrote what happened as best I could recall.
  73. </p>

  75. It appears that PayPal is being a pain in the rear as usual.
  76. They said that unless I have a registered business, and therefor a legal business name, I cannot register a PayPal business account.
  77. However, they had been the ones to suggest the business account to me in the first place.
  78. Additionally, it seems that the business name, not the website, would be used as the name of the donor.
  79. This is not at all what I asked how to do.
  80. There&apos;s no reason that I shouldn&apos;t be able to donate under whatever name I choose.
  81. PayPal is just being over-controlling as usual.

  84. I became vegan not long before I got this site up and running, so I haven&apos;t been vegan very long.
  85. At first, everything was so much better.
  86. Emotionally and physically, I felt better than I ever had.
  87. However, my muscles are now showing signs of weakness and it&apos;s scaring me a bit.
  88. I read somewhere that going vegan would eventually lead to muscle loss unless you do it right, though I didn&apos;t look into what needed to be done right away as the article was discussing what needed to be added to one&apos;s diet to get one&apos;s muscles back, meaning that it wasn&apos;t a permanent loss and could be reversed.
  89. The article mentioned &quot;building vegan muscle&quot;, so I tried searching the Web for &quot;vegan muscle&quot;.
  90. Nothing about my current situation turned up.
  91. The only information I could find was on body-building websites.
  92. They said that us &quot;plat-based eaters&quot; needed plat-based protein shakes and that diet is more important than exercise for building muscle.
  93. The protein shake recipe I saw included protein powder, but all the protein powder I could see at the market was expensive and all the labels I checked said the products contained were milk-based.
  94. I am hoping that a lack of protein is the only problem.
  95. I will try to get more protein in my diet, though protein shakes are not an option at the moment.
