Ouch, a Sore on My Nose and Bigger Things

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License. S.L.M. 5.14.08 @ 9:01 a.m.

I have an irritating sore on the center between my nostrils. The day before yesterday I realized I was getting it and now it is a little more irritating. When I blow my nose it bugs me. I don't know if it is an ingrown hair or a pimple or what.

It's one of those things that looks gross but is really isn't a big deal. It makes me think about how little the problem really is and how people in other parts of the world really have problems.

People have real things to deal with and what I have to deal with, most of what I have to deal with, is nothing when there are really big things in life. I have a hope and I share it with people and that is really important. So my point is that I should not complain and this just helps me to realize that little things in life can help me appreciate bigger things.

Mixed Jobs Making for More Work

The painters are here today and I am just tipping back a few beers. I am enjoying the nice weather. I work at home and I do web development. I am a webmistress. That just sounds so posh, doesn't it? I like the sound of it so I like to use the term. But I am a relatively complicated person and I like to think that I do a good job at what I do.

Lately I have also been helping out with the family DSL business. Our brother-in-law has a company that leases phone lines and provides high speed internet to customers. I have been volunteering my time completely for free. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are in Ireland right now so I am helping out with their biz. They asked after I helped with the two week volunteering job a week ago. They acquired 200 new customers in about 72 hours and it was sheer madness (didn't see my kids for days at a time and averaged 4 hours of sleep per night).

So I am appropriately listening to "Mixed Up", the album by The Cure. It is an excellent album and it just happens to fix my situation as well. It is a mixed up thing I am in right now, with two jobs and the home painting thing going on, plus kids and the summer approaching. It's fine though and I am taking it in stride. I feel like we are just scums living in this place and it is all swallowing us up. So I sip my beer and ponder it all, watching the birds eat the seed I have placed for them outside.

I recently read that as more text is placed on a page, people do not want to read it. So, with that said, I will close this blog posting out. Just catching up on stuff as of late.
