world is slowly changing
My world, anyways.
It has been a while since i last posted here. I've been busy. Too busy. There is too much to actually post here as an update. So let me just illuminate the recent or really big stuff.
Have not found a cleaning person I like yet. So I am taking some time off work to do it myself. Means I will have double my work ahead of me.
Store is doing alright so far, to my amazement. Yes, I worried. New business stress I suppose. I shouldn't worry. It has been running for almost 20 years. It isn't like I am starting something new and hoping it flies. The only failing I have is the website for the store which is woefully behind. Some updates have been done. I just seem to have a mental block when trying to work with it. The up is that our new employee is a designer specialist and she is working on building us a new updated amazing website we hope to launch in a month or so. Looking forward to starting September fresh!
School... hmmm... it has been stagnating at the moment. i have been too busy to look at anything. Maybe once the house gets a bit more organized and I can find stuff and sit comfortably again, i will get back to it.
Currently, I retired a store cat to a staff member's home for his geriatric days. he is being so pampered. I am glad it is working out. I moved our bullying cat, Ninja, out to the store. He is a super lovey and cuddly cat who just doesn't seem to be nice with other cats. In a new place where someone else is dominant, he seems to be mellowing out. If he works out at the store, he will remain a store cat. If he bullies Luna, then he goes up for adoption.
Speaking of adoption. Rescued a kitten. Keeping her. she is damned cute. Even the hubby is mushy with her. As for where I got her from... vile place. There are no words for the vile disgusting state of the apartment she came from. It was unfit for any living thing, animal or human. The girl there had tried to commit suicide. I have zero compassion and zero sympathy for that kind of selfish irresponsibility. If you are going to do something like that... get it right the first time. Cries for help of that sort get nothing from me. I was nice enough to help a tiny bit and care for the animals. But to yell then at the people doing such a favor... gets you nothing. Really angry at her. Keeping the kitten for its own safety.
Spent yesterday in a rescue operation, looking for lost baby snakes. Found some of them! YAY! I hope the other ones get found today.
I am so exhausted and sore from running around for 2 solid weeks. I took a morning off today. I only managed to sleep till 10am. I am having breakfast, packing for the class to teach this evening, cleaning the bathroom and bedroom, doing laundry... all before I head to work for the afternoon. I know. It is not really taking time off. But i am taking each thing one small relaxed step at a time. Breakfast while typing this for instance. I am blessedly already packed for class.
Hmmm... I think laundry and bedroom will only get done.
Hope everyone is having a great day. I pray it is a better day for those who are having rough weeks lately.

Has it been that long?
I got overwhelmed with school, Gaia Gathering conference, and work.
Hated my house so much, I hired a cleaning service.
Not sure how I like her. She is chatty, strongly accented (so a bit hard to understand), and makes me feel like my home has been turned upside down. She literally turned my home upside down. She did a very decent deep cleaning and helped push me to move things about that needed moving. I discovered that out stock of basic cleaning supplies is so woeful that I need to buy some. I have a floor again.
She cleaned the kitchen, livingroom, bedroom, and bathroom. A normal cleaning will be about $80. This cleaning cost me about $140 because it was just... so embarrassingly... so bad. she will tackle my office in two weeks. She charged by the job and not by the hour. she didn't ask me about the wier4d stuff in my home (like the altar paten or the deer skull). she was not afraid of my cats or lizards, but I had to lock them up just to get them out of the way.
Things are now not in their normal places and it is driving me batty. Also, she did not put the cleaning stuffs away. She was a bit rushed as I had originally planned to be out the door at 6pm. But since I removed the curtains and started washing them and hanging them to dry, now I need to stay home for them. the fact that she was rushed showed. But she still managed real well.
Now I have to readjust everything to cam my own discontented anxiety. Guess I'll do that sorting thing the house needs while laundry runs. Bathroom is done, next is the bedroom. At least those are fast. Kitchen will be after that. By then the curtains should be ready to go back up. Then i can tackle the livingroom. I think I want to rearrange the livingroom furniture. Yes, I do. The hubby is out for the night so I shall do just that!
Oh... errand first. Need some grocery stuff.
In two weeks, cleaning woman comes back to do a general clean on the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and livingroom, and then a deep clean of my office. I'll ask her to please put things back when she is done. That will help me feel better.
Off to enjoy the sun and run my errand.
