Graduation...

OK so I am just about to go have a hot shower then nap on the couch or something until the rest of the family wakes... I always wake up early and I'm highly anticipating one of my son's to bug the crap out of me to upgrade his online gaming account to that of... ummmm "Guardian" I think was the status.

I am known by my friends to often hit them up with an URL that is unfinished so that they can test parts of it. Feedback for what's working for people and what's lame etc... I get the sense sometimes that it can get a bit annoying... I pop into chat and say "Hey how's it going" then a few minutes or seconds later I say "Can you check something for me?" This is simply because from my seat, where the site is designed I can not always account for links that are pointing to local files on my drive and not a world accessable one. Or that read write permissions are set correctly for the world... You know "Chmod -R 755 /var/www" or the likes... Bah too geeky for ya? Movin' right along...
I have just confirmed that the advert program I joined a few months ago has finally issued a cheque to me. For an impressive amount albeit not enough to pay the mortgage. So now that I am sure it's not all a scam and that the cheque is real I am going to put a little more effort into what I was doing with it. It actually only took two months to earn the money but then when a cheque wasn't issued I pulled back on the reigns a little and the clicks stopped happening for a while. I now see this was kind of a mistake because it will take me just as long to get it back up to the traffic it was getting before but I also understand it a whole lot better and feel that I can really make it sing this time. So on that note I feel I have graduated at least on one financial level. Gonna use the money to make a payment on my credit card. You know what though? I really wish I was not alone in making this work... I mean I have the server equipment and the knowhow to keep it running 24/7, I have an abundant amount of time in front of a laptop while waiting for my mother's appointments etc to actually put effort into it.. But it really really sucks that I am the only one working on it... I think if someone could just see the vision in it, see that there is huge potential earnings in it. If only they could suck up the fact that they aren't gonna make a penny out of it until it actually starts snowballing... It could work in a big way and generate a lot of revenue.

'nuff said, I'll just keep movin' on it alone and if some day any of you wish to join me in it then that would be great but until then. "No tire kickers please"

Now on to some other stuff...

Copious amounts of snot! Yeah that's right, last week was complete and utter HELL for me, I was unable to take my mother to Toronto for her physio for all but one day because I was so sick. And then the last day I had to squeeze in a psychiatric visit for my son "string bean" which went superbly well, he now will be recieving some much needed care and hopefully he'll be able to do well in school and with his friends in the playground etc... All of last week I was stuffed up and weilding snot everywhere I went because of a nasty cold I caught from a sneezing woman in the A&P last weekend... My mother on the other hand was able to avoid it until Friday... I fear her getting sick, especially when it involves sinuses and respiratory infections, I will make a judgement call today if she is to go to the emerg or not. The fear of course is that if your nose is all plugged up how can you breat the oxygen supplied by a tube in your nose. The common cold may not seem like a dangerous thing to most people but when your in end stage Alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency you can bet that it's a sure fire way to get yourself intubated if you don't take care of your symptoms early enough. We fully plan to take care of the symptoms early enough so I'm not so much worried as I am watchful.

Ahhhh... I can't wait to hug my kids today...
Sappy I know but I spent part of last night thinking how I had completely ignored them last week in my selfish little snotty world...

Oh that hot steamy shower is calling my sore achy body... I can already smell the irish spring soap I love so much!

Cheers!
