Anniversary Mood
Sunday, November 22, 2009
Today is our 40th anniversary so we had a family party yesterday because two of the kids are working today.  Mother-in-law was there also.  She's never liked me and makes no attempt to hide it.  It's mutual.  A broom fell on the floor when we were getting ready for the party and I told my wife we should practice stepping over it for the re-enactment.  (we didn't really have a re-enactment).  She refused, which hurt.  I also said I was going to ask her Mom to give away the bride because I know she would refuse, and she told me not to be mean.  :(  Anyhow, the party was ok mostly, six little kids running around and my mother-in-law trying to command the kitchen and ruin the meal we planned.  Today we might go somewhere.  This morning is just another bad headache though.

    Thanks Jody!

    I was thinking today about what I wrote and how I mentioned someone I don't get arong with 4 times in a few sentences. I really let her get to me and dominate my thoughts. A few years ago she moved from a 2 hour drive to a 5 minute drive away. From a safe distance to in my face!

    we had a even day today, just by ourselves on our anniversary.

Did a couple of weeks pass that quickly? Mood
Wednesday, November 18, 2009

I guess so.  Since the last time I wrote 2 weeks ago what progress have I made?

 

I had a headache today pretty much from when I woke up till a little while ago.  We went shopping this evening and I felt very tired and a little dizzy.

 

I've been looking for rental space for my massage business.  Problem one is that I don't really have money to spend.

 

I put some ads on backpage and I'm getting like one response a day.  So far nothing has worked out.

 

I should be spending a lot of time studying some of the continuing education materials I bought, but it's so hard for me to read.  For now on I'm only buying DVD's.

 

My wife is taking this week and next week off for vacation.  Sunday is our 40th anniversary and Saturday we're having a family party.  Our home was flooded 5 years ago when the ciy was working on the sewers and most of our "stuff" was put in the garage in storage bins.  It was about 80 or 100 bins.  Most of them are in the garage, but every room of the house has at least a few of these bins.   I don't think we need most of it anymore.  A lot of it is books.  But our garage is totally jammed and we're trying to make some progress cleaning it - and the rest of the house - while she's on vacation.

 

One of our goals for vacation is to use all of the gift cards that we've accumulated.  Most are Christmas gifts from last year.  This evening we went to Penny's, Barnes and Noble and Applebees.  :)

Another day, another dollar Mood
Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Another dollar spent I mean.  My friends keep mentioning this place on the internet whey went to get business cards, saying it was free or $4.95 or something to get cards printed.  So I checked it out this morning and mocked up a couple of cards, which I think look nice.  But then there's the extra charges, like for different grades of paper, and for t-shirts with the same logo on them and magnetic signs for the car doors....and it just keeps on going.  Some of it is great, it's quick and easy to get those things done....except the shipping time is 3 weeks unless you pay extra!

 

I'm not really interested in working for a chiro or doing sports med.  I don't like people telling me what to do.  I've almost always been self-employed and done good at it, except for a few times when I took a job even though I knew better.

 

I have my own style.  A lot of it is energy work, the rest of it is gentle and relaxing.  It wouldn't really work for a chiro or sports med.  Thanks for the suggestions though.

    Hi if its vista print then the cards come in within a week usually...from my experience.....
    Do what you feel is your calling....it is a long road but really worth it.
    You might think about getting a massage chair, to build your business.
