Problems

For some reason the last two nights have not been good for posting.  My millions of peaches post was actually from the day before but failed to post.  I was able to repost it yesterday and then went on to write a post last night. That post however did not post either and the text was completely gone.  I am not sure if I messed something up myself or if I am experiencing some challenges with blogger.  If you read my post from a few days ago you might think that it could very well be user error as I was seriously asleep when I was attempting to write my daily entry.  That, however, posted successfully. So if I can manage to post something when I am pretty much in a comatose state why would I not be able to do so when I am somewhat alert? It could have very well been user error and I just bombed last night.  I had written about the previous nights entry not posting and then discussed a few other items.  Alas, it is lost for the ages and here I am writing once again about my posting failures.

I did visit the folks yesterday and mom shared a story about making oatmeal cookies the day before, setting one on her night stand and thinking it might make a nice snack in the middle of the night.  She did wake up at some point in the night and she remembered the cookie. She picked it up in the dark and had a bite of it.  Something began to flow down her chin and neck but she didn't know what it was. Certainly she didn't have anything in the cookie that would do that.  She then realized it was ants. There was an extreme infestation that came up the night stand and found that cookie.  In the dark she didn't see any ants and had no clue they were there or that anything was wrong.  It is kind of a freaky story. Of course she told me this while I was eating one of the oatmeal cookies she had made.  I didn't go back for more.

As for today, we participated in a job fair at SUU.  This was for both the Depot Grill and the Brick House.  I went in to get a table and get us set up for the event.  In doing so I had a table cloth I had brought that we didn't need so I was returning it to the car and was also bringing in some additional supplies.  I went out a door and had 5 or so stairs to go up. I missed the first step, ended up tripping over it and totally biffed it right there on the stairs. Went down hard and was rolling around all dramatically on the stairs.  I don't know that anyone actually witnessed the spill which is fine with me.  I did laugh at myself though and shared it with some friends so they could enjoy a laugh. I imagine I looked pretty funny there.  Scraped myself up a bit but I lived.  What a dork.

It has been a fine day. I need to get buckled down and working on my school stuff.  Don't have time to waste and need to get it done.  We'll get there.  Tomorrow I should have some time to sit down and move on it.  I had two weeks of a break at the end of August and it was very much welcome. I know I need to get cranking this semester but it has been difficult to get jump started again.

Well, life is good. It is not without its challenges. The businesses are doing okay but are also struggling as there are a lot of expenses and keeping up on them is not easy.  I can't believe how much it costs just to operate.  It gets to be a pretty stressful thing.  We continue to press forward and do out best.
