Update:
I've been working nonstop all night on nothing but coffee and adrenalin trying to figure out how to import an add on domain to my shared hosting. Fuck me, what a nightmare. I hate domains.
Also, don't get me started on those stupid SSL certificates.Whatever, I showed that add on domain who's boss. @ record? A stands for how AWESOME I AM right? I'm feeling drunk on my own power right now LOL
*trigger warning** (ignore all that, I'm j/k of course)
So once I got back to doing the actual design stuff. I took that "breakpoint" advice doesnotexist gave up there^ and ran with it. That lead to learning about columns and blocks, mostly because she seems to really like them here...

Finally it occurred to me... doesnotexist is right. What is the goal of my website? Because that will dictate how I think about the breakpoints and how to go about structuring the rows. It REALLY made sense @ 5:20 in the video below, because he gives a really good diagram showing how it will work. Then *poof* it all clicked into place in my mind.
I get it now. @ 5:22 in the video the grey part is your block level div tag, the purple part is perhaps another block level tag maybe paragraph? and the columns are a span tag that you control with css to make the columns auto scale as the viewport gets scaled up or down at certain breakpoints.
Do I have the basic idea correct?
You design with the columns adjacent knowing they will be scaled down then swapped under each other on tiny devices?
Go easy on me. Still learning...
