I got the seven stitches taken out today. I’m so relieved. They itched so damn bad! Now to finish healing. Then I will see a doctor about getting electrolysis to permanently remove the hair in the area I get these pilonidal cysts. Recovery went a lot slower this time around. Very sore still, but very little leakage. Last time it leaked a lot. In two weeks I go back for a followup visit to be sure it is healed properly and to get the referral to the doctor who does electrolysis.
I’ve started doing service calls again. It’s good to be back to doing something productive. I hated all this sitting around doing nothing. I got bored and depressed easily. During my down time, I installed Quickbooks 2003 and started putting in all my information about my business: invoices, vendors, sales tax, etc. This program is great! Saves me so much time. One of my clients had a copy of Quickbooks Basic 2004 for sale, so I bought it. Need to be legit. Now to legit all my Microsoft applications. I’ll probably get the Microsoft Action Pack. It has all the Microsoft applications I need, and extra licenses to play around with the other applications. It’s a pretty cool idea. Hopefully, a good discount coupon will come out and knock the price down. $299 is a little out of my price range currently.
Current wishlist for my business:

• Multifunction printer/scanner/copier/fax machine
• Crosscut Paper shredder (preferably with cd shredding)
• Office chair

A few other things would be nice, but these are the essentials I want to get now. I really need the printer, so that will probably be the priority now.
