What can I say?
This blog may be / will be unavailable for a day or two.
My week:
First the freezer on our fridge-freezer quit working.
No problem, I turned the vegetable freezer back on and moved everything while we wait for either the repairman or a new fridge-freezer.
Then I had went to the dentist.
Minor problem, fixed quickly and I got my teeth cleaned. Still, it WAS the dentist.
Then the washing machine broke.
Mon mari was able to fix it the next day – we hope.
Then Google Adsense disabled my account. !!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
To the best of my knowledge I have done absolutley nothing to violate any of their policies and they won't tell me what they suspect me of doing wrong.
I just have to figure it out and fix it or they keep the money they owe me.
They will be keeping the money that they owe me.
The old: Well if you don't know I'm certainly not going to tell you.
Me v Google – who do you think will win that one?
I know there are many other bloggers that this happened to this week.
No comfort at all.
Next, I found a HUGE, HUGE spider in the bathtub yesterday morning – while I was brushing my teeth.
Yes, mon mari dispatched it. I did not ask for details.
Finally, this morning…. I keep 'outdoor shoes' in the barn. It's wet in the morning when I walk the dogs – and muddy.
This morning there was a dead rat on my shoes.
Mon mari dispatched that as well.
After that week I am going to do the only logical thing: Bury my head in technical stuff that I don't understand. I'm going to be doing much-needed maintenance, cleaning, whatever on this blog. It's been sadly neglected and now will get my undivided attention. I need to do something that I might have just the tiniest bit of control over.
As soon as I get another cup of coffee.
I'll be back (I hope) for the next regularly scheduled post.
But…..
I'm moving the blog – I hope the feeds will work, and the email. The name will stay the same, but if I get lost you may have to search for me.
Please don't lose me…. Sigh…
That would just be too much. LOL
Katie,
I pray for the sun to come out, the kids to behave, the machines to fix themselves, and for Google to clean up their act.
Breathe deep,
Chuck
O dear fighting Google, that’s no easy task. Stay on your feet.
A dead rat in your shoe.. I guess that made the most impression on me I guess. All kinds of questions rose to mind on how he died….. 🙂
It does sound like a downtrodden week Kate, but I know you will rise above it all.
You poor thing! A dentist visit on top of all the rest just ain’t _fair_! Let us know how to find you if you switch.
Gaww, what a week! Best wishes for recovery (the blog update and the freezer, and you).
Its one of the laws of physics. Everything breaks at once. Time to go shopping for someone frivolous and a meal out. It will all seem better tomorrow.
Brassfrog… all those things – and no bunnies and good dogs ;-))
Lien, mon mari decided against an autopsy… and he hasn’t been putting poison out. old age?
Val, I suppose the bright side would be that it all happened at once LOL
Zoomie, fortunately, I have the gentlest dentist on the planet!
Dan, thanks, I’ve had better…. But the girls were good (sort of)
Phoenicia, maybe after I get every thing working again…. Or maybe I’ll just open a nice bottle of wine and go sit on the balcony.
I know I commented on this! Twice. The first time, I made a crack about the spider. Both times I commiserated. Especially about the rat! That is no fun at all. I’d probably want to throw my shoes away. After I’d disinfected them.
I hope you can get back to doing what you would rather be doing soon.
You probably don’t want to hear about the largish spider that swung down on a thread from the driver side visor the other day when I was crawling along at 10km/hr in rush-hour traffic, do you?
