kinda feeling down and out

Filed under: general — Tags: — Joshua @ 1:09 am

I haven’t been feeling very well in the last couple weeks. I pulled a muscle in my back sometime after the sevendust show. Every now and then it will just start killing me. I went to my local doctor, and he cracked some of my bones back into place, but it didn’t really help. :(
Iberprofen doesn’t really help. Icy Hot or the heat pads that you stick to the affected areas dull the pain for awhile.
Around Christmas time, my second pilonidal cyst popped. Oozed out nasty puss. Now it leaks blood. Not good. I had one of these last year around this time. I went to my family doctor, who referred me to a general surgeon. I got it surgecially removed. The surgeon did say there was a chance of re-occurance of this. Looks like he was right. I scheduled an appointment with him next Wednesday since he is on vacation with his family till then. But I do not know how much longer I can put up with the pain and leakage. GAH!!! :mad:
On a much brighter note, I fixed the comment spam. When I upgraded wordpress, I forgot to put the code for authimage back into some of the wordpress pages. I did that, and that should end the spambots.
I also worked on my business web site. My friend Ted updated the original design, putting the navigation buttons on the top of the page, and not on the left side. Works out much better. Added some links, and fixed some of the content too. Gotta give him some $$$ for the well-designed layout. :)
While I was working on it, I thought of the MidMaine Chamber of Commerce. I am going to head over to them tomorrow and become a member. I should get a link on their site, be in their business directory, and get access to other information. Hopefully this will help me network with potential clients. I am also going to call the advertisement branch of the MaineToday web site. I will find out how much they want for ads on the Morning Sentinel and Kennebec Journal web sites. :D
With that, I sign off on a good note for a change.

Edit: My business wishlist—
New printer, with scanning, and copying features. Fax optional. Network capable preferable. Looking at the Brother MFC-5440CN at Staples for $149.99.
New office chair. Saw one at Sams Club for $67 something.
New PDA. Man would I love to have one. A Dell X50v would be awesome.
New crosscut paper/cd shredder. I really need to get one of these and shred those consulting documents I made that I no longer need. Lots of confidental information on them.

Edit2: I changed my Sam’s Club card over to a business account. Saved $5 on membership fees. Signed up for a Staples Business Rewards card. Free, and gets me cash back on purchases from them. I am also looking into getting a business credit card. That would help me float payments on products I sell to my customers.

a thought

Here is a thought that I just wanted to jot down before I forgot it:

Why is it easier to analyze everyone else, but yourself? I try to understand those around me, those in media, those that are dead, but I cannot analyze myself.

I updated wordpress to the latest stable version. Went well. No problems doing the upgrade.
