Lots going on in my world

Hey all!

Very soon this blog will be hosted by my own .com! I’m trying to get all the stuff behind the scenes set up on this blog and my natural medicine blog; which is at times a bit difficult, as I don’t know that much about scripting languages, transferring, blog languages, domains, etc.

I really don’t want to go ‘hog wild’ as yet with any of my blogs, because it will just mean more work for me at a later date….if they’re not set up right.

Earlier this week I did some cleaning of my Squidoo dashboard. To date, I’ve given away 14 lenses and a group, and sold 7 lenses. I’ve deleted about 20. Now I’m at a total number of 69 lenses and 5 groups. Making my work at home efforts much more manageable! I’m kind of anxious to see what a fellow lensmaster will do with the Vitamins lenses, and another lensmaster with the Herb Garden Group. Now my total number of lenses (69) and their lens rankings average out between 5,000 LR and 6,500 LR. Pretty damned good, I think!

I haven’t checked the total today, but one of my lenses has been picked up by Colleges. The stats claim students all over the world are viewing my Dog Worms website/lens! I have no idea how it became a reference for Colleges, but am very proud that I created something of worth that others can use for information!!!! Kind of ironic, I think………Me-making something of use for teaching College Students-when my whole college experience totals up to 3 months!

The Colleges have also found my Dog Allergy website/lens, and it’s numbers of visitors has doubled! The number of visitors to the Dog Worm site was 1,079 last night, a number that counts the visitors from the last 7 days, although the Colleges found it 5 days ago. I expect the number of visitors will decline, as it is Saturday; but I’m hopin’ it will pick up again on Monday!

My world at home has so many things that needs to be taken care of that I get frustrated, resulting in me spinning round and round, with nothing getting completed. I have a family room that is nearly ‘gutted’, waiting on $$ for 2 sliding glass doors, roofing, and alot of carpenter work. The plan is to make it into my indoor greenhouse. I already have the windows that will be inserted on much of the roof. I have an extra bedroom that is next to the family room that I also want to incorporate into the ‘green room’ (indoor greenhouse). My other extra bedroom needs a makeover, as does the living room, dining room, and kitchen. My garage is filled nearly to the roof with furniture and stuff that is junk now, from the basement flooding. Gotta get it out of there, I contacted the garbage hauler, but their ‘farm truck’ is badly in need of repair, so they can’t haul it away for me. My truck has a lead-spring broken and all wheel ball-joints need replaced, so I can’t take smaller trips to the dump, or do much of anything with my truck, until my son gets the time to repair it. He’s already purchased the parts……..now it’s getting him to DO it. He’s the one that tore it up anyway, using it all winter to haul firewood.

Been waiting as patient as possible for my stimulus check. I need new fencing, among many other things. If you’ve taken the time to view My Flower Garden Squidoo lens, you’ll see a diagram and photos of my back yard. I’ve got a big dog, a medium sized dog, and a little dog. Their place in the backyard is fenced with what is called ‘field fence’. It has big squares, and can be manipulated if pushed on. One dog jumps it, and one dog goes thru the squares. Over the years, I’ve tried putting an electric wire all the way around the top, and chicken wire at the bottom. I’m tired of that. I want/need 200ft. of 5′ welded wire fence. All winter to the current date I’ve had to go outside with the dogs every time they needed to go outside. What a pain in the ass. If that check doesn’t come soon, I WILL scrape the funds from my work at home efforts, as I can’t handle it much longer.

Ok, that’s enough from me today……..I’m going outside. That damned dog pen that is not in use needs it’s first mowing of the season. Some of the grass is as tall as my knees already. After that, if I have any energy left, and have taken some of my pain pills, I need to start cleaning last years growth out of the flowerbeds.

Gods Love and mine,
