nearly complete

I know that my little trip down the surgical aisle was a little more than minor and a lot less than major, but it has brought me face to face with my future. Getting old will suck ass if you're not in good shape. Oy. I have so much empathy for the slow and pained among us. Not that I was a beeatch and didn't care before, but as the ol' saying about walking a mile in high heels goes... your feet are gunna hurt real good.

My recovery is gaining on me and I'm getting back to normal. I still get so tired at the end of the day, and I can't sit for long before my tummy starts to hurt. Sitting in meetings is out. Laying around moaning is in. Doing Pilates on my Balance Ball of Death is out. Hanging out in the backyard pondering where my new rosh bush should go is in.

Exciting things are happening at Creative HQ! The Mac Mini is nearly installed. Gosh, it takes a long time to transfer over crap from a 1997 iMac. It would go much quicker if Ye Old iMac had a Firewire port. But alas, thy computer wast not madeth with thus Firewire portith in 1997.

I'm starting a new project that must be complete by October 1. This is big because it's a large project with many cooks in the kitchen, which usually takes longer than imagined. If all goes as planned, I'll have a second more high profile project to toot my horn about by the end of September as well. Theeeeen, my favorite client in the whole world may have more work for me to boot. I've got a good feeling about September. Indeed I do.

To top it off, I'm starting a new program in September to build my business to new heights! Or so the says the brochure. It's based on Get Clients Now, but it's more of a group thing, where business owners get together to brainstorm, encourage and hold each other accountable to our goals. Now I just have to figure out what my goals are for Q4 2005. Hmm... thinking.

The countertops arrived and magically installed themselves. They are beautiful. I sometimes shuffle down the stairs and into the kitchen to just look at them. Then the most exciting thing of all... running water in the kitchen! This pioneering family is back to the 19th century. Pictures of the nearly complete kitchen coming soon. There are some tiny details like missing doors that I want to fix before I show the world our masterpiece.

So instead I leave you with shameless beagle porn pictures, because I know you enjoy them so much.
