Question Day

Brrr. Ice storm here. I'm always cold in winter. Isn't that supposed to be a sympton of some dread disease?

I can't find any good blogs to read. I took a look at Blogs Of Note on blogspot and the blogs on there were boring. Maybe I hit them on a bad day. Anyone know any good blogs to read? That have to do with specific subjects, not just random musings like mine? And I don't want to read any blogs that are about women running businesses, or entrepreneurs, or typography or interior design. I get enough of that on my own blog. Mary Roberts, surely you can help me here.

What about a gardening blog? I'd like to read a good gardening blog. Gardening is my diversion.

Why am I so bad at math? A client called today and wanted to know the price of something at 25% off. The original price was $400. I panicked. I could NOT comprehend that one fourth of $400 was $100. Ergo, her sale price was $300. Um, that is right, right?M.

Lucky Flexibility

I'm lucky I have a job that lets me take care of my dad when he needs me. Today I spent the morning doing the post-accident checkup thing. The first doctor sent him to get a chest x-ray to make sure he didn't have pneumonia. Apparently people who break ribs get pneumonia. Not good for someone who's 80. Then we had to pick up antibiotics. Schedule a follow-up visit. Schedule a urologist visit (separate issue.) He has an eye appointment next week. We'll get license plates for his new car when his title arrives. Now I have to write an email to update my siblings.

The designers are working on new designs for the general Graffiti collection. I selected current designs that aren't selling as well as others. We'll put those "dogs" in the Design Archives once we launch the new designs. There are a few new designs I'm wild about. Others aren't there yet. We're trying to get them all done in the next week or two. The last few weeks of our January Write Sale get a little crazy. Or we hope they will be, this year. M.
