Uh-huh, yeah right. Well, 'vacation' or not it's over which means (drumrollll) MORE WORK!

ARGH!

Ah well, better to have then have not I suppose. Still, going to that gem and mineral show was great and no, still haven't gotten to pictures of my stuff, but eventually.

Last day of vacation was staying up till 4 am to take some videos of E playing for our http://www.templesounds.net site. Got some great stuff, here's just one of them:

Today it has been more photo shoots of tumbled stones and crystals for the website. Soon as camera battery recharges I have to dash and download to my laptop; select the good ones, resize, upload to website then do the HTML thumbnail codes for, um, think have 30 maybe for today. Ha, today and tonight and possible tomorrow on day off as well since am already blind. Dreary muggy-clammy overcast day where you just can't seem to get it in gear no matter what. Don't mind the work though because at least we're seeing results. Helps when you do as opposed to finishing and feeling like all your effort ended up in some black hole someplace, right?

Okay, sorry, know this is all boring, but at least I am trying to post. Something that won't leave me drained further at that, since actually thinking and going on a raging tangent on oh, say 'politics' just won't be doing me any good. Least right now. Whole world is just fucked royal due to having a majority population of moronic herd beast cattle, and let's leave it at that.

This video here is a brief highlight of our day participating in the Meiklem Kiln Works 4th Annual Holistic Fair...

And to round thing up, some morning glories blooming here in the living room amongst my baby mimosa tree. Was a great thing to wake up to and find as I lifted the shades.

Cheers all,

Melissa

Yes, I know, Melissa. And thankyou for being honest with me about that; I know I do have those tendencies, and it's hard to pull back...

My biggest issue is that the other grandparents haven't done anything wrong, either. They're now receiving the same treatment we've been getting for the past year, and they've done nothing to deserve that. I feel that because they went to the wall for us (so that we could see the grandkids, too), we need to do the same for them, now that we have the kids most often. I do want them to know, and I will tell them what Karis told me, but I really feel that under the circumstances, the grandparents need to support each other. Does that make sense?

It sounds like you need to go on another vacation just to recover from this one, Melissa. I mean, doesn't "vacation" mean not working?

Please take care of yourself, my friend. I know how you tend to over-exert yourself, and I encourage you to be very careful about that.

Have a great day, dear lady, and thanks for coming to visit and share your thoughts.
