aaaaaaaaah!

Holy Cow guys!

I am a nutjob!

I have been so stinkin busy. No really! I've been trying to blog for days. No luck. I wanted to do Shanny's day in my life thing. I took some pictures that day. They're on flicker but I just couldn't post what was going on, because, you know, busy.

Here's some things I've got goin on.

We've had five move-in's in the last couple of months. FIVE! (I'm in property management and we rent out homes) So that means, preparing the home for move in, clean the houses (no I don't do it, are you nuts!) and carpets, get keys and garage door openers, running credit/background checks, move in reports, fixing the things that need fixing in the houses. Oh I didn't tell you, one of our tenants have a pug! I know! His name is Cooper and I have a picture of him somewhere on this blog. Another move-in is coming in a couple of weeks. I have some move-outs coming up too. Two of them. Move-outs are just as much work plus there's the new move-in to look forward too.

I'm thankful I have a job. And I like my job.

Then there's the new website. Yes dear readers I am doing a webpage for our company. It was in it's infant (more like embryonic) stages for who knows how long. Of the three people that could do it, none did. I couldn't understand why. If you know how to do the web page thing how hard is it to do? I don't know how to start, I don't know where to go, I don't know what to do. Eeesh! So I start asking questions of these gentlemen that know and could have done it but didn't and they help me, thank God, to get it started.

Now I know why they didn't do it. It's a lot of work. Holy Cow! (again with the Holy Cow) So, as I was saying, the web page was in it's early stages. What we had was a domain name. That's it. Just the name. We've been paying for the name for a few years I think. But that's a start right? Then I was told that now we need a host, all I had was a name. See, I didn't even know that. So then we bought space for the site. Then we needed software to design the page. Several options were discussed. One of the computer geek guys said to try the Sitebuilder that Yahoo offers. I try. It's good, actually I think it's great. Maybe there is a lot of better stuff out there but I know nothing so this is something and so far I like it lots. I know I'll need different software later because this will not do some things I'll want it to do but hey, it's a start and I can get something functional up there even if it is a little primitive.

Now I'm working along on this webpage for like a week. I know I'm slow but as I've said, I don't know how to do this so I've got to figure out the software and change the template and upload the photos and link the shit and try to make it pretty. First snag: I need to be able to work from home and work. Two computers. So I ask the geek guy to help me out here. Over the phone he walks me through 'a process' obviously not 'the process'. I lose everything I've worked on, which wasn't much but it was a weeks worth of work. It's not really lost, it's still on my work computer. But now the template is on line instead of my work. I'd tell you the site but it's just the template, which is pretty but says things like 'your company name here' and has pictures of people I don't know. We've come up with a solution, I think. By using 'log me in' (logmein.com I'd link if for you but I'm lazy) I 'should' be able to do the home/work thing. I'm annoyed now. I don't want to talk about it any more.

Today I am taking a personal day. I know it's Saturday but the weekends are just as busy. Sometimes we take care of work, sometimes we have family obligations or stuff we plan. Today I am doing what I want, which could be nothing at all. Maybe I'll take pics and do a day in my life. Maybe not. Might be work.

My camera battery died, well not died died, more like needs a nap.

Maya B got a bath and a hair cut. She looks like a little rottweiler. I'd post the pics I took, but, see above.

I was up all night. Yes all night! And not doing anything interesting either. I have been medically transported into menopause which means hot flashes and night sweats. I honestly believe that I'm going to burst into flames and that one day BH is going to find a pile of ashes in bed next to him. The good news is I no longer have periods. Thankfully I still have my uterus and ovaries. At my age I don't want them to do anything, but I still have them.

BH's back is hurting him poor dear and he had a major melt down this morning. It seems he spilled a coke that I'd left on the living room table. On the table. Where it should be. And he spilled it. He's better now. Everyone's entitled to a little melt down now and then.

My oldest son is in Utah. More on why later, maybe, but for now know that it is stressing me out. My folks however are thrilled, thrilled is not really the word I'm looking for. If they weren't in their 70's they'd be doing cartwheels. This won't make sense to you because you don't know the story. He seems to be doing fine. It's hard to tell but he does call me everyday, sometimes 6-8 times a day.

This is why I need a personal day. By myself. To do whatever I want. Or nothing at all.
