Punch-out Tech and Printer

Under the Weather

Hello, my, Happy, busy, people!...

Today, was a Plan B, Day!... Remember, that, punch-out, list?... I've, actually, made, some progress, with the help of so, many, of you! Gems!

However,...Perhaps, I've, been a bit, out of balance, here! LoL... I'm working, away, on my computer, and the WiFi, goes, out!... Oops!...Forgot, to pay the electric!!... I, kid, you, not!... I, normally, keep, a calendar, and mark, down, all, I pay out, but, for some reason...this, month, I, missed, it!... Due, fist, week, and I pay it, with, the rest, right, off... Except this, month!!

I'm, called, and checked, on, bill, rather, that, send out an emergency, outage, notice!! LOL... Power, was, back, on, in minutes...or, by, the time, I, got finishing, visiting, around, the sandboxes. Last, night, first, time, of no, posting...felt, very strange.

I, believe, I mentioned, I was working, on, a home-equity, loan, so, I don't have to worry, no... "Be concerned", about, making, an, income, here, online. Fear, or, worry, will, only, stifle, my passion! I, put, in the paperwork, 2 weeks, ago, and was told, I'd, hear, of approval, by, Monday! ...and then, a closing date. Very, good!...NOT! After, numerous, phonecalls, over, several, days, and eventually, the "Mailbox, is full"... I wrote, an email..."What's up? Do, I need to speak, to someone, else?" Are you, even, working, there?...Last, comment, just in, my head!

I, get, a call, this morning...from, "Someone, else", from, my Credit union!! She's double-timing!... Loan's on the way...was never, an issue, except the "When".

Next, the printer..."G.P."...stands for God's People!...Hmm...I, went in, 2 weeks, ago...I, wanted to order, stickers, and have a logo, made, for my site...I, have a stained glass piece...Created, by, Moi, so, forget, any copywrite, stuff. I, said, there was a time factor...3 days, as I want the stickers, ready, for this weekend, function. "Oh, no problem!!"...famous, last words. Next, day...oops!, She's at the dentist...going, into work, late...send proofs, soon...Next, day! Really!?

Card, proofs, tacky!...didn't get my vision, at all...so, scratch, that...start over, with new plan. I, sent, her, a download, of a hometown, morning, shot of, Lake, St. Claire. Lakeshore, drive...many, hours, cruising, by the water... My, soul, loves, the peacefulness, of, water, and it was, my escape. Beautiful, morning, shot! very, serene...not tacky, with my logo, floating, against, a light, blue sky!! Colors, are deep, bold...against that, flunky background!!...Artist, and advertising...nothing, thrown, together. Nothing, but a look of class, perfect, as, possible...not, careless.

Hmm...Careless...a behavior, that, does, so, much damage. "Care-less"! That is the attitude. I, pity, folks, that don't try to put their best effort, into, everything. Anyone, can, reguritate, garbage. Half-assed, job...costs, money!...I, will, not lose, as much as, she... Bad, service?... No, refferals,... But maybe, a stern, warning, for future, business.

Printer, did awesome, job on logo... Trimmed away background, did no tamper with the glass! The stickers!...What, stickers? "Oh, you, didn't say anything, about the stickers... But, I, did, pay, for them. Next, week, or...refund...not worth the effort. I'm, beginning, to get this feeling...No!...the horizon, is crooked...needs to go up, on left. The street, is not the horizon...look at the water, by the sun...that line... I won't be surprised, if they look, unchanged, from, my final approval...she, had sent to, printers??

No, unrealistic, expectations...Very, eager, to please... once paid...true, character, comes, out.. First, promise, or, their word, broken... just a crap shoot, now! "Screw, my once?...Shame on you!...Screw me, twice? All, on, me!".... I'm, a trusting, individual, wanted to give business, to a small, in town, business. Had, I wanted, fast...Office Depot/Max!

My, cards, are supposed, to be ready, tomorrow, after, 3:00 pm... Will, I hold, my breath?...No! Will, I be surprised, if cards, came out straight? Very!

I, get, a call, from, a card, I had paid off...payment, didn't post... Back to computer! "I'll, think, about ths Tomorrow, for Tomorrow, is another day!"

Another, indictcation of lack of balance!...No, song, running through, my mind!!...

Okay, "Tuesday, Afternoon"- Moody, Blues!!

Tues-day, after-noon, I'm, just beginning, to see,

now, I'm on my way, it doesn't matter, to me,

Chasing the clouds away.

Something calls, to me, the trees are drawing me near,

I've, got to find out why... those gentle, voices I hear

Explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind.

It's just the kind of day, to leave myself behind.

So, gently swaying through the fairy-land of love

If you could just come with me and see the beauty, of,

Tueday, afternnon!

Tueday, afternnon!

Tueday, afternnon!

I'm just beginning to see, Now I'm on my way!

It, doesn't matter to me. Chasing the clouds, away.

Something calls to me. The trees, are drawing, me near

I've got to find out why...Those gentle voices I hear,

explain it all, with a sigh...

Come with me and see the beauty of...Tuesday, afternoon!

Couple, of chats, around the sandboxes...went, stalking, found, Vern, and Pernilla! Met, some of the gang, wherever, I went! Mike's, "Paying, it Forward"... fresh, coffee, and where's, Noreen, been? Cake, we need cake!! These, little, visits, are so timely, when, "the river, has, a few rapids, and rocks, along the way!"...Nothing, wrong, with stepping, ashore. I found, myself, too, pressured by myself, the others, were slipping. I, had to, recognized, or identify, the "problem", before, I'm able to fix, it.

Mich, and I, headed, up, for, a much, needed, nap!... Tired, which, I was, and mind, just cluttered...lots, of hanging, ends.

Meditate, with my numbers...out like a log. I, set the alarm, for 7:00pm, as tonight, I, needed, to be fresh, for a meeting... Not!... I, ran into, one member, wanting, to chair, this, one, as I have, Friday, mornings. Wonderful! Here, you, go!... BTW... I, won't be staying, then, as I, am in the middle, of writing, for my website..."Note, to Barb"...don't share things, that, matter, to you, with, Mr. Curmudgeon!... "Where, there is, anger, there is always, pain, underneath."... "What, website?..."12 steps for Everyone"... Good, luck, with that!... Snarky...Sarcastic...

Cancel! Cancel!...cold, angry...just left! Leaving??? Yes! Homeward, bound! God, doing for me...out of that sandbox!

Funny...He, only does this, stuff, to me, oh, yes, and everyone, else, too!... when, no-one else, is around. "...ever reminding us to place, principles, over personalities!"... 12th Tradition of AA. 12 Steps 12 Traditions AA...Genius, pure genius!!

After, the nap, I, was convinced, that God, wanted, me to slow, down...Relax, and take it easy? The pressure...taking, the fun, out, of this, and creating, friction, instead, of flow. When, I had to pass, on writing, yesterday... didn't seem, right.

I will, continue, the article, on the immune, systems, perhaps, tomorrow, one of those, ends, hanging,... that is the paln. Ha!

Eckart Tolle...favorite, quote..."Do, everything, with Acceptance, Joy and Enthusiasm, or don't do it at all!!!"... It's okay, to say, "No", without explanation. "No", is a complete sentence!...Better, than breaking your word!

All, in all, today, was a very good, day! I'm constantly, reminded, of my favorite expression, these, days... "Patience, is my friend. Whenever, God's working, on something, it's never, thrown together, and half-assed. I, just need to wait, for His, time." Follow the directions, but don't rush, the souffle!

The launch, date, for "12 Steps for Everyone!"...Will, be sometime, during the Holidays...perhaps, New Year's!... God's time, but not, mine! ..."We are not a glum, lot! We insist on enjoying life!"...pg. 134. Big Book AA

On, that, note, my, Motley Crue, of genuine, friends, in our, wonderful, Sandbox Without Walls...

I will, part with...

Efari Sto, Arrivederci, Ciao,

Hasta, Luego, Alviderzan, Dobar Don,

Ca nichi, wa!, Bon noir??

And, yes!... Good night, Y'all, and God Bless!

Barb

God Bless Bard you're a terrific friend.

Brad

Hi Barb, great post! Can't wait to read your blog about the immune system.
Wow! You really had a great plan B day.

Hehe
Murphy

No Orries
Time does not exist
Only in our minds...

Hi Barb, what can I say. I always find your reports difficult to understand, properly, except to gather , you are having a messy time.
Could it because Mercury is in reverse? Changes tomorrow, here in Oz anyway.
You are going to all good.
Love & LIght, Jae

Well Barb, here in the Philippines the power is off pretty much every couple of weeks, sometimes every week for 10 min. or several hours...its really FUN, especially when you are writing content...and forget to save it and I usually dont use my laptop...
So no worries there...here we have generators...there you are a phone call away of restoring power...
Have a great week and weekend!
And of course a MERRY CHRISTMAS to YOU!!!
And HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018!!
Its going to be the BEST YEAR ever!!!!!
Tom

So Miami Beach In the Philipines, well what a strange mix.
Great to hear about other countries & their problems/customs.
So glad you have a generator, but that would not be enough to power your laptop would it?
Ooh ah, glad to live in Oz all we have are fires, storms, lightening, flooding & drought. Take your pick, all happening at once. Very Strange.
Merry Xmas Tom from Oz
Jae

Hi Jae, wow but here we have a country that has the most natural disasters of all countries in the world!
My generator is really BIG! Enough for all my electrical stuff...
So Oz...hmmm is that where the Wizard lives...Must be, right.
Have a great week/weekend!
And a very MERRY CHRISTMAS...soon!!

Tom

Yes the Wizard does live here, he thinks it is the safest place in the world,
Jae

Wonderful...
I'll be right over....LOL
Tom

Hi Barb,

Oh yes. Tuesday Afternoon - perfectly apropos for this installment.

God puts those stumbling blocks there for a reason. It's a coarse in achieving that balance through patience and grace by "his timing" which can't be measured in minutes seconds or hours.

I'd suspect you passed the exam. I'm sure we'll have more.

Another awesome dissertation therein by example of your day yesterday.

Talk soon, cheers and blessings,

Brad

Barb, busy day and looking forward to 12 steps. Jay

I'm doing a prelim...In the Beacon!... 'til, Christmas!... Just struck, me, this morning... Meditation, with coffee...
Always, good, ideas...Wink!
Barb

Dearest Barb. When words jump all over like Stefan's saucer I know I've moved to he Sandbox Zone!

Isn't it grand!...Mike!
Misnumbered...should have been lucky seven!!
It's all, good!
Just, was fun...writing, without the pressure! Fun!
Whirling, around, and picking, up, good, vibrations...Priceless!
Who's got troubles, with WA... there is always, someone, going, through, something, more challenging. Easy, to stay in gratitude...
Love, my people, Mike!!
Barb

I kick over to Spotify and listen to Good Vibrations occasionally Barb!

Well, I'm reading this as I wake up this morning. I hope you had a good night's sleep...you needed it as I was exhausted just reading about your day! Have a good Wednesday!
Debbie

Debbie!...
I'm sorry!...

Time, now to play, with Christmas, lights!... I bought a "projector" ?On, sale... only one left!! ... I'll, have green snowflakes, on my Green
Snowflakes...On my white house!!
