Troubleshooting • Pi4 won't connect to internet

Hello. I am wits end trying to get my pi4 to connect to my wifi. I have tried many, many different things and configurations I have found thru forums, internet and youtube but nothing works. It has worked on my wifi previously so I know it must be something I'm doing wrong. It is connected to a monitor so I can see it's not generating an IP address. The following is a copy/paste from my wpa-supplicant file on my sd card that I have altered over and over trying different things:
# Use this file to configure your wifi connection(s).
#
# Just uncomment the lines prefixed with a single # of the configuration
# that matches your wifi setup and fill in SSID and passphrase.
#
# You can configure multiple wifi connections by adding more 'network'
# blocks.
#
# See https://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf
# (or 'man -s 5 wpa_supplicant.conf') for advanced options going beyond
# the examples provided below (e.g. various WPA Enterprise setups).
#
# !!!!! HEADS-UP WINDOWS USERS !!!!!
#
# Do not use Wordpad for editing this file, it will mangle it and your
# configuration won't work. Use a proper text editor instead.
# Recommended: Notepad++, VSCode, Atom, SublimeText.
#
# !!!!! HEADS-UP MACOSX USERS !!!!!
#
# If you use Textedit to edit this file make sure to use "plain text format"
# and "disable smart quotes" in "Textedit > Preferences", otherwise Textedit
# will use incompatible characters and your network configuration won't
# work!

## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
ssid="Casa Vista Mare"
psk="xxxxxxxxxx"
#}

## Open/unsecured
#network={
# ssid="put SSID here"
# key_mgmt=NONE
#}

## WEP "secured"
##
## WEP can be cracked within minutes. If your network is still relying on this
## encryption scheme you should seriously consider to update your network ASAP.
#network={
# ssid="put SSID here"
# key_mgmt=NONE
# wep_key0="put password here"
# wep_tx_keyidx=0
#}

# Uncomment the country your Pi is in to activate Wifi in RaspberryPi 3 B+ and above
# For full list see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
#country=GB # United Kingdom
#country=CA # Canada
#country=DE # Germany
#country=FR # France
country=US # United States

### You should not have to change the lines below #####################

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

I just don't understand what changed and I am about ready to trash this thing so I can use my printer again. TIA for any and all help
