Old Man Winter....

... is still a'blowin' out there.  Yet another winter storm. But short-lived. It is supposed to be in the 40s this afternoon, and then it all changes to rain. YEA!

Old Business:

  • Corner of laundry room complete - taped and mudded, primed and painted, and flooring in. All was a bit tricky, but nothing we couldn't handle.  Even was able to get the drain for the washer (which runs RIGHT next to the wall) to be able to be taken apart and put back together so that tools can more easily fit there.
  • FSA/HSA work complete!
  • Working on Insurance stuff now. So.Many.Pages.And.Forms!
  • Surgery is scheduled, and is now 1.5 weeks away.  I'm nervous. And scared. But it will be OK.
  • Have signed another contract for on-site massage. I'll miss the first 2 visits due to recovery times, but I'm still excited.  I was able to hire a local gal to fill in for me. Super sweet!
  • 2018 letter is printed out on my desk, just waiting to go into envelopes.
  • Doing better at reading my book and magazines. I finished 1984 and have gone back to The Plains of Passage.
  • Memorabilia and scrapping still on list, but still getting neglected. I've moved my desk out of the laundry area. It was causing me so many neck issues (not a real desk, not the right height, etc.) and it was COLD out there when the weather was bad. The whole situation was giving me a bad attitude. Now that I have that fixed, I'm hoping I'll get there.
  • Not doing well on the anatomy book or blog reading, but I'll have 6 weeks of recovery, so I'm hoping I'll feel up to it. Gadget will be here for 2 weeks of it, since I won't be able to drive or anything for myself. I'm sure he'll motivate me.
New Business:
  • Kim and I are flip-flopping buildings with Global Travel! Kathleen's is taking over that building again, we're going to reconnect the parts, and then we'll be over there. She's hoping it will be more like a spa (and she is a fashionista so I know it's going to look great!) and we are all so excited! Of course, this is all happening a day before my surgery - YIKES! We've been busy cleaning out closets and rooms.
  • Joined a couple of marketing membership programs to see what they are like, and see if they will help me bring in business.  It still seems like most of what I get is just through the virtue of working at the salon. Not a bad thing, but...
