Warning: Rant Alert! LOL
Let me start out by saying "yes, I know it could always be worse"... but this has been one of those weeks...more annoying than anything. Just one little thing after another it seems!
First off, when The Man went out to get the camper ready to use, he discovered that he hadn't winterized it...the valve to the water heater froze and broke, so off to town he goes to get a new part.
Comes home, installs said part and finds that the same thing happened to the kitchen faucet...off to town he goes again...back home, replaces part...
Guess what...the same thing is frozen in the shower! ANOTHER trip to town, grumbling all the way...and finally (we hope) all is fixed and water not spraying everywhere in the camper...UGH!!! I think The Humorless One just likes to go to town!
On Monday, my gallbladder issues decide to flare up, probably cuz I haven't been dilligent about taking my Lecithin, but it has kept me feeling just under par all week! Sure didn't do much for my motivation, that's for sure.
Add to all this, the computer issues for the week...
The Humorless One needed his PC reformatted and redone...that went fairly smooth unless you count just the fact that I had other things to do at the same time, so there was about 20 trips up and down the stairs between his office and my office to get it all done.
So then I figure, hey, what the heck, that went well...so I'll try to get DD's computer up and going again (it's been sitting here for 3 months waiting for me...meanwhile, she has my laptop which I am desperately needing) so I set it all up and try to reload Windows...says it can't find the hard drive...the drive just up and died! All of this after several tries tho...all in all very frustrating to find out that I can do nothing until we get another hard drive for the thing...UGH
So this fine morning I get up and begin to work on some formulations and label designs for the new shampoo I'm going to introduce to my line...and guess what.....................MY computer is having a massive brain fart and just bogs down sooooooooo ssssslllllooooowwwwwwwww that I can barely get it to restart. Many scans and reboots later, all is up and running but now my Outlook is all wonky and I need to try to remember all the settings I had instilled in it previously.
Should be fun considering I can't even remember that I put a load of jeans in the washer...THREE DAYS AGO...until I go up to put in a load of socks since The Humorless One tells me that he's out of clean socks after he's put on his last clean pair! Can you see how things are progressing around here since I've started my business back up? OH WHAT FUN WE'RE HAVING...LOL
Before all the fun of this week started, we took at drive on Saturday up the North Fork just for fun, drove through the burn from two years ago, and the one from ten years ago...what ugliness...but I keep reminding myself that it's nature's way of cleaning things up and keeping the forests healthy. Still ugly, nonetheless.
But we saw a beautiful waterfall...
We also drove on up to Polebridge, Montana...there is just a Mercatile and Saloon up there, but the Merc had a BAKERY! We had Huckleberry Bear Claws and a Root Beer before heading back down to the valley...Turned out to be a lovely drive!
In the Bath & Body Factory this week, I've been working on lotions, soaps and bath salts...formulated a super gently Calendula Baby Lotion and some Rosewater & Glycerin Lotion, Both are super on the skin, I know, I'm my own guinea pig...HAHA
Working today on getting things added to the web store and getting ready to do another giveaway...after all, I can't be the only guinea pig and I want some testimonials for the products I'm making! :) Check back on Saturday for the newest Giveaway!
I guess it's back to work for me, trying to get lotions labeled as well as site updated...
I hope all is well in your world,
Love TheHomesteadQuilter
