Posting Frustration

Well that posting was unexpectedly difficult. It kept cutting off the end of my post. Very frustrating.

I was going to add that now I really ought to get transcribing, but I don’t think Ariel is going to take her nap, so it looks like I’ll just have to work all the harder tonight.

A Real Work Day at Last

Finally a solid day to work on medical transcription!

My mother-in-law had hip replacement surgery a few weeks ago, so she hasn’t been taking Ariel once a week as she usually does. She’s well enough now that she’s able to do that again. It’s so nice!

I’ve gotten some decent work done already. Hope to get lots more done, but I’m concerned that today will run out like yesterday did. If it happens, well, that’s website development time, of course! But I’d like to do well on the transcription.

Politics, Politics, Politics!

Time for politics!

My oldest sister and I have a tradition. Every year shortly before Election Day, we get together and go over the propositions and candidates with each other, and sometimes a couple others. It’s a great way to see if either of us has missed anything, misunderstood anything, etc. This year we have our ex-stepmom joining in the fun. Our views are just different enough to keep it fun, without getting into serious arguements generally.

Voting with a toddler in tow is going to be interesting, though. It’ll probably be a cross between keeping her from running all over the place and telling her no, she can’t mark Mommy’s ballot for her.

Fixed the Look of the Blog

New look for my blog.

Yes, that’s right, it looks a lot more like the rest of the site. I finally got sick of the blah Blogger template I’d been using and edited it to look more like the rest of my site. There are still some changes to be made, but for the moment I’m quite happy with it. I’ll make the other changes when I do the rest of the site, to ensure that it’s all consistent. Mostly I need to decide exactly where I want the newsletter subscription box to go, since I more or less booted it from it’s old spot.

My email through the hosting for some of my sites seems to have finally calmed down. It was still a problem this morning, but looks much better now. Hopefully they’ve fixed whatever the problem was.

I have one wound up little girl today. Can’t say I blame her. Yesterday she got to go out with Mommy to play, and we took a walk together earlier, but she’s still been cooped up quite a bit due to the weather.

Me vs. the Internet

Ever wonder if the whole internet is trying to make your life difficult?

Ok, maybe not the whole thing. But one of my email accounts has been giving me trouble all day. I’ve downloaded the same emails twice today, and it’s trying to get me to download them again. Naturally, the server won’t let me on to remove at least the deleted ones from it through webmail.

I finished the work for my one website client, but my payment processor’s site is down too. I also need to get into my email account for this project to tell the link exchanges they had me add to their sites that their links are up.

But, I did get another page added to my jewelry website, always a good thing. It would be better if Google would actually index my content pages, but it seems to have focused strictly on indexing the store, and has yet to touch all but one or two content pages. Go figure. And here I thought Google would appreciate my original content more than my store.
