The Daily Grind

It rains and rains and rains… it’s very depressing.  I miss the sunshine and have the “muddy yard blues”.  I’m a bit cheered, however, because Chelsea has improved today—it seems as though she had a bad reaction (understatement!) to the Clavamox.  We stopped by the vet’s office today and picked up some nose drops for her and I’m to stop giving the Clavamox… no need to twist my arm about that.  The nose drops are quite easy to administer, although she has teeny-tiny nostrils and it’s a bit hard to get the drops where they need to go.  Chelsea ate a full can of a/d today without any problems at either end, so I hope that NOW we’re on the road to recovery.  The funny, funny woman at the vet’s office tried to talk us into adopting a pot-bellied pig today.  Ha, she’s hilarious.  I’m sending her my therapy bills.

Nancy finished the refinancing paperwork today so we’ve got a green light to start our new business ventures, once we figure out what they are :-p It’s more like a yellow light, I guess, as we don’t have the actual cash in hand, and that will take about a week.  Then we’ll be attending the ARA Awards & Recognition Association trade show to find ourselves a business or two.  The ARA website is horrid and hokey, but we do think we could have a future doing glass engraving/sandblasting, and/or dye sublimation printing.  It would let us be creative and work our own hours while still doing a lot of marketing via the Internet.  We’d seriously looked at purchasing a laser engraver last year and starting an engraving business (awards, plaques, trophies, etc.), but it just seemed so dull.  And expensive—even the basic starter models of laser cost the price of a new car.  We’ll attend the ARA show to get some ideas about business opportunities, and as if that’s not enough, we’re also going to attend the International Sign Expo!  I know you’re green with envy, or perhaps you’ve just got an upset stomach.
