Good Evening Crickets…

Here we are.. at the end of another day… this one had a few ups and downs… but overall I’d say that the positives outweighed the negatives… not to sound Eeyore-ish… but the first negative was just the anxiety of having yet another doctor’s appointment… only… unlike the other day… when I was uncertain about how I would be able to handle a new primary doctor… because my last doctor was so good… this time… I was just having a little anxiety over not having control of my schedule for the day…

Though I feel like my anxiety and depression have gotten better over the past couple of weeks… my need to stick to my routine has gotten worse ever since I returned to working on this blog… but… I feel like I’ll lighten up on the self-imposed pressure as soon as I feel like I’m back in my groove… since my main struggle is just the I feel rusty… and fear that I may have to rush to meet my day if my schedule is just a little off…

The doctor’s appointment went well… which calmed my nerves instantly… because this appointment didn’t end up taking all that long… my last appointment was the first follow-up after my surgery… and it took way more time… since both the nurse and doctor got all up in my nose to look around… and dig out all of the scabs… mucus… stents… and sutures that needed to come out… this time… they each took a turn looking around… but there wasn’t all that much to clean out… so the appointment was done in a little over a half-hour…

Then I got home and wrote my 365 Days Of Marketing And Me post with plenty of time to fit in everything else I hoped to get to today… including my effort to trim my dog’s claws with a grinder specifically for pets… that looks way easier to use than it actually is… the first how-to video showed a person using the non-powered nail clippers for dogs… clippers that I fear using… and why I bought the grinder in the first place… I decided to say screw it and just grind her nails without the initial clipping… not only did my dog not sit still… the grinding process takes so long that I felt like I was punishing the poor thing…

I gave up on the nail grind after grinding each claw down just a little… and now plan to work on each foot a little at a time… until I get better with the technique and she gets more comfortable with me pulling at her feet before freaking her out with the grinding machine… she did seem to calm towards the end… but she also seemed mad at me for a while… but I won her back by giving her treats… but I still feel bad from having to hold her still and getting frustrated and cursing up a storm whenever she’d pull away…

I really need to work on my curse-filled outbursts… that make me seriously wonder if I have Tourette’s Syndrome… at least my dog keeps me calm… and I directed my anger at the claw grinders… my poor computer gets all of my verbal rage whenever it acts up and doesn’t act like it’s supposed to… which happened a little when I went to share my marketing post for today… only to find that my site was offline once again…

I can’t wait for all of these technical issues to get worked out… but I’m done talking about it on this page… and will just deal with the issues as they come up… because at least I now know how to fix the issues… I just don’t know how to keep them fixed at this time… but I feel close to figuring it out… without any help from technical support…

Alright… this post may have been a little more Eeyore-ish than I was hoping… but I’m still working on it… and only announced that I’d make more of an effort to quit just a few days ago… now it’s time for me to take all of my night time meds… including some pot… before I head off to bed… I look forward to sharing more with you when I check in again tomorrow!!!

Sincerely…

The Wicker Breaker
