This week, first week of December 2009, keeping ontop of sorting all the new website stuff, finding out about converting video files (disappointing i cant copy my phone files that are uploaded to the computer straight into the flash website) wanting to buy lots of programmes and upgrades, researching and writing some legal stuff for the website...and worried about internet explorer and adobe compatibility as well as programmes...remembering how the blogz and myspace hang together...still taking lots photos around and about and planning the first part of the new year....not exactly a mumpreneur (too monetised a title) but a 1980s telecom engineering r&d administrator paddling furiously to keep up to date and finding all the routes with lots of obstacles that take forever to suss and sort out while juggling home and teens and with a hope of keeping a toehold on a career for the next few years...and being dragged reluctantly into teen stuff and grandparent stuff and having to stop and be healthy and walk places and shop for hungry dependents and drowning in paperwork from all sorts of places too keep phones and accounts and broadband and utilities and agencies ...and the housework stuff...enough of that...so many plans and strands for a small micro micro business online that eventually will happen...technology updating permitting...I just need a sense of humor and to laugh lots while the frosty mornings happen and the winter almost-almost cabin fever sets in...why do we live where its cold and foggy and rainy in the winter...roll on all those crisp cold sunny frosty mornings...keep the latte going and the electric radiator near the laptop or take it out in the car and find a spot with a winter view or a cafe and ignore the folk who want me out in someones shop selling stuff for long hours, or typing from 9to5...too many hours working in the past mean hands with rsi so I have to pace things, myopia doesnt help either, if it wasnt for computer glasses i would be struggling...
i just want to be able to create faster and roll out lots web pages that are all singing and dancing and have a feeling of being in touch with the rat race timescales (what a stupid pathetic male orientated objective...if someone in this household would just wash the dinner pots or the clothes or do the shopping)...the reality world invades and the technology just doesnt have enough pzaz to document all the pitfalls, lets all reinvent the internet jungle catches, one by one as we chase a few concepts that dont quite communicate with one another and weave our way through threads of forums and compete with the folk who have a whole army of technicians behind them....maybe i need to go out more and find a few friendly faces in the local, or take a turn on a sunbed and pretend i'm off to sunshiny spaces while I wait for the winter to roll on and turn into spring. I have a few poems or writings happening in the meantime but the everyday dross gets in the way of feeling lyrical...I tried working late into the night and early morning - no distractions and no sense of wierdness and then I try working ordinary hours and find opposition from tellyaddict facebook addict family, but it hasnt worked now its cold dark evenings and the mumtaxi has to be on its way earlyish...and granny has been playing up and takes lots of weekend time...so mumjuggler is more appropriate than mumpreneur...and one day it will just be Dily.one, with no-one else to hinder me....so the IQ laughing phone app will just have to remind me of the days I laughed at work from morning to night at work, and spent my leisure with friends and could afford to be an independent woman.....just me....apparently making mates and sisters jealous without realising it, money to spend, car to drive, no ties, no fuss, now the neighbours think i'm mad and want to put a stop to the idea that just anyone can make a website but i'm keeping going and I will work in the daytime...and find time for family, and to keep healthy...and celebrate a little... so happy yule and christmas anyone out there whos trying like me to get 'somewhere' and going round in circles....happy UK winter...Dily
pics going on myspace Dilydaydream.one eventually
