How dry I am
In this city
We haven’t had rain
Since April 17…

Ok, so I can’t sing. Especially online. Be glad you didn’t hear that.

Thank goodness we might get some tonight, tomorrow or Monday. If it doesn’t rain until tomorrow morning, that’s a new San Diego record. Unfortunately, the record was set just last year, so it’s almost becoming a habit.

On the business front, I’ve been getting something accomplished today, although it may not sound like much. I cleaned out one subfolder in my bookmarks. This was a big one, which I had used to get ideas when I was first starting this website. Lots of sites I looked at and wondered what made me choose them. Out of about 70-100 bookmarks, I kept fewer than 20. Also got lots of article ideas, which is a huge help.

Of course, now I need to get writing those articles. If there’s no transcription available when I try to put Ariel down for her nap/quiet time, whichever she chooses, then I’ll see if I can whip some articles out. Be nice to have some in reserve again. I used to keep 2-4 articles ahead of my newsletter, but I haven’t managed that lately.

I’ve been a busy girl today.

I’ve added about 5 pages all together to my various websites. That’s a rare thing for me to manage these days, but it’s a good feeling. Add to that one trip to the store. Add to that one nasty headache to cope with, and it’s pretty darn good for one day.

Now I need to transcribe. It’s the last day of the pay period, and unlike last week when there was literally too much work available and the account was behind, this week we’ve been running out of work. Funny how that goes.

I finally posted the story of my start in medical transcription. It’s something of a comedy of errors, both human and computer, and more funny in retrospect than it was at the time. I’ve meant for some time to add this one, because it is truly amazing in its way just how wrong things can go.

Ok, baby, mommy needs you to move.

This little rascal is apparently right on a nerve in my right hip, meaning I can’t walk without a lot of pain. Doctor says there’s little to be done for it aside from rest, heat and Tylenol, which don’t do nearly enough. I didn’t expect this to get started so early, but that’s how things go, I guess.

I’m starting a business to-do list for after the move. I really don’t want to get into any new big projects just now, but I keep thinking of more and more things I need to get done, so rather than forget, I’ve made a list.

Have to love looking at how people find my websites. My favorite today is “get rich scams ones that work” (without the quotes). My page on looking out for scams is #1 for that search. At least someone knows what they want, even if it is a little oddly phrased.

Of course, no one aims for such phrases, although I suppose there are those who could make some money from someone like that. Wouldn’t want to be the person suckered that way, though.
