I haven't written in at least a week (the calender you see isn't visible to me at the moment and I'm too tired to look). I've been busy with work. My cosmetics supplier is not playing nice with their advertising guidelines and I've had to re-evaluate how to bring in business without rocking the boat with my advertising methods (I don't like playing by the rules). I've spent the last week and a half trying to find good ways to advertise on line and I'm coming up short in confidence with any of the options I've found.
It's a tricky thing this business of mine. Wayne and I don't need the money and considering I don't like to play by the rules, I always thought it was just a matter of time before they sent me packing. The thing is that I've grown to depend on it to keep me sane and busy - not to mention, I bring in pretty good money as well. Last week when I got the warning letter from my supplier, it hit me quite hard. I knew it would come, but I'm not ready yet so I've decided that playing by the rules is what I'll need to do to keep myself sane and in business. Now, I just have to figure out how to do it by the book (the bastards and their rules!).
Anyway, I thought I should say something so people know I'm still alive. I'm alive, tired and really hoping the soccer game Wayne is watching ends soon because I'm sick of sitting here trying to keep busy. As a rule, Wayne and I have decided to never have a second TV in the bedroom because we think if we start separating into separate rooms - the easier it will become to do it more and more often (not to mention you end up watching TV in bed instead of other things you can be doing to entertain yourself in the bedroom). We don't want that kind of marriage. The downside of this rule is nights like tonight waiting for Manchester United to finish playing...
It's been a while since I blogged regularly. I guess I've been going by the rule - if you don't have anything nice to say - don't say anything at all. I hate 'woe is me' type entries and for the last month or so, I've been really down and haven't had anything good to say. I think it started with the news that Aniela (my fellow expat girlfriend) was moving back to the US and was exacerbated by the incident with Wayne's cousin and the flare up of my condition (along with a general feeling of homesickness & loneliness). I was really depressed for quite a few weeks there and haven't been doing much more than going to the gym and other random things to keep me busy during the day. I haven't even worked on my web classes (in any serious way) in weeks (probably because I can't concentrate when I'm in pain - never mind get very motivated). I'm not so down anymore. Maybe it's the sunshine. Maybe it's the fact that I'...
