Have you ever had a day/days where absolutely nothing is going in the right direction?
~BIG SIGH~
My computer has been giving me grief; one error after another. I pay a Tech guy $170 to look at it, run the same bloody scans that I already did, to tell me “it’s fine.” Get it home and three more errors pop up. It’s fine for a PC, maybe. Apple. Here. I. Come.
I paid 60$ for a website template that I can’t get to work unless I first edit it with a program that’ll cost me $399. Holy H*ll. So I’ve browsed every other template site out there and find that if I want any quality I have to pay so I’m out that original 60$ plus the dollars to either have a monthly subscription or an annual fee. I’ve tried downloading a few freebies for practice and my web host is causing me grief which leads me to think another would probably be better; then I’m out even more money. If only someone had taught me code in school. And frankly, I don’t have the patience to learn it now.
Glen and I were also headed out for a date tonight. And Holy H*ll what drama. Trying to arrange for a sitter when ((surprise!)) unexpected family come trudging along, wanting a visit with “the kids”. Well now. It’s supper time and the kids need to eat, family needs to eat, and my husband just cleaned my house while I, amongst interruptions, attempted to process pics. Geeze. Won’t anything just flow smoothly today??
Seems these days, my so called “work” day doesn’t begin till 10 o’clock at night and there’s good reason for it. Steady concentration. Well, I dunno how much concentration one can have between the hours of 10-3 a.m. but it doesn’t appear that I can get any other schedule to work. Ugh. This is going to have to change because I cannot survive on coffee alone. I don’t think I drank this much since college and only then it was to cure an active hangover. Kidding. (Believe it or not, I actually studied my buns off. Well, the second time around anyway).
My brain is powering down because I am tired of dealing with all the little things today. Seriously, 8 phone calls between family members, PC errors and a date night that’s gone AWOL. It was a perfect day outside my windows but inside, Glen and I weren’t acting much like partners and the kids were feeling the tension. Hopefully this day will get better soon.
And I’m hoping to post some pictures soon for you as well.
Cheers.

You know, usually when things go awry like that it's becuase you aren't getting a message you're being sent... I imagine the message you haven't heard sounds something like, slow down, breathe, and take things one day at a time. You never called and askied if *I* would babysit. I'd even visit with your relatives while you guys went out!
ReplyDeleteWell, 8 phone calls turned into 10 leaving me annoyed with all the pointless drama but Glen and I managed to get our date. I don't think he or I were ready to give on that. As much as we like our family, I am thinking about posting a huge sign on my front yard saying "If you didn't call first, we're not home." Not that I mind an unexpected drop in from friends but family seem to have a different expectation. And I really wasn't in the mood to have 6 people sitting in my home, having supper and what else, while Glen and I were gone, just so we could come home & clean up once again.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the computer goes, it's a PC. Nothing else wrong with it. Grrr.
And slowing down.... I kinda think that's why I'm behind now. I slowed down for the past few weeks and now I'm bogged down. Kuddos to my hubby tho. He's taken the kids today and tomorrow so I can get some work done. I swear he deserves an award.
