Need... sleep...

I am just so tired... I could use some sleep for sure! But that is not going to happen as long as I have a 2-year old to take care of ;-)!

I am working on a translation of a user manual for Bench Press Machine. Can it be much more boring? It dosn't really help in keeping me alert... And it has to be done by the end of today, since it is due tomorrow at 4 PM Hong Kong time, and they are about 13 hours ahead in time...

I really like this agency in Hong Kong, they have been sending tons of work my way the last few months. Apparently they must like my work!

Well, back to work before it is time for lunch. I definitly need a some Diet Coke (aka caffeine)...

Take care!

Early morning

It has been a very busy morning! We were up early at 7:30 AM, throwing in the first of many loads of laundry. I have been doing all kinds of cleaning, but it barley shows yet! That is what happens when you have been sick a lot and then working like crazy! A total mess!

The carpet is non-savable, the dogs have just ruined by peeing in a couple of spots, plus it is light beige, so all satins are highly visible (think 2-year old with bright red posicle...) I can't wait until we can rip it all out and replace it with tile floors in the entire house! We just shelled out $8500 for a new roof, so it will have to wait just a bit. I hate carpet!

I cleaned my desk today, I relly went into all the nooks and crannies, I didn't just cram everything in a cupboard out of site... Ken is going to get a shock!

Better go for now, the husband is home for a 10 minute stopover...

eBay

Cool! I just made $78 on a few test auctions! I am waiting until Tuesday for uploading all the "good" stuff that is likely to bring in some good cash, but I had a few mixed auctions going, and they did really good! I have been doing eBay auctions for a few years now, and I love it! I both buy and sell, and especially selling Sarah's old clothes is great! A lot of people love buying gently used childrens' clothes. Good for me! I sell her last season, and whatever I make I use for buying her new clothes for the upcoming season. I usually sell twice really big, before the spring season and before the fall season. I meet lots of nice people on eBay. In fact, I like the Internet in general. I found my husband there, I even bought my new car on the Net, and saved a bundle! I also adopted a dog through the Net. I buy most of my stuff online. I just love it!

Take care!

Being sick and hurricanes...

I have pretty much spent all spring being sick on and off, or at least so it feels... First I had my appendix removed in the beginning of May, then I got a whopping case of streph throat, followed by a long stay in the hospital with a stupid blood clot in my groin. My entire left leg is still messed up, hopefully it will improve, beacause it is rather impairing...

We JUST dodged hurricane Dennis, we kissed our lucky star once again. Last year we had 4 scares right on top of each other, but a major hurricane like this in July? Never actually heard of before!

Otherwise life in Florida is quite slow right now, the high heat and humidity brings the heath index way up, and it is hard to muster the energy to move about outside. Not that I can do much of that anyway due to the leg!

I have just started loading things up on eBay, falls sales for toddler clothes usually start to pick up greatly just after the 4th of July weekend. I had 36 auctions ending yesterday, have 14 more today, and I will upload 25 on Tuesday night. They say for Toddler stuff the best start/end time is Tuesday nights after dinner time, and I have to agree that has worked for me.

Well, that is all for now!
