I went back to bed only to be awaken by a cat fight around 4:45. The Tom from
next valley over had came over to pay us a friendly visit. Of course his idea of a friendly visit was to come over and see if he could kill my cat.
Well my cat had not made any brownie points by waking me up earlier but if I did not go rescue him, I would be in
dog house with my wife. This would never work because
only pet facility that we had was a small cat palace and I already had a backache.
To heck with trying to sleep. I went to check and see if my ISP was back up. Great, I was back in business. I first sent out yesterday's issue and then put
finishing touches on today's. I then sent it out as well.
I then decided to go check my mail and make sure I received both issues. I looked at
first issue and I had forgotten to put
right address in
Title. Instead of my first name, which will show if I type
following [FIRSTNAME], I saw [FIRSTNAME. I had forgot to close my parenthesis and everyone's ezine came out addressed to [FIRSTNAME.
I then took a look at today's issue. I had typed in
wrong date on
top, I had forgotten to put contact information in my ad for a advertising special. I was not feeling real good about myself at this point.
I then looked back at my mail and saw a note addressed to me with suggestion as
subject. I thought, to heck with reading that. After
last two days, they are probably suggesting that I take a permanent vacation. I just don't know if I can take that kind of rejection right now. I need sleep.
I headed up to bed and passed my wife who was heading down
steps. She asked if I was going up to change into work clothes. My mind started churning, what had I promised to do this morning?
She brought me out of my thought by informing me that she would do
inside of
windows while I did
outside.
Sanity? That has long since passed me by.
So back to
question, can anyone publish an ezine?
Well if
subscriber who sent me
suggestion is anywhere close to correct, I am not qualified to answer. Here is his suggestion.
You could not publish a #$%&*%$ ezine if your ^$##@*%#* life depended on it.
I also got brave and told my wife that I don't do windows.
I am now trying to get some of
sleep that my body so desperately needs but
accommodations seem less than cozy. This cat palace is sure not
luxurious place that I had been led to believe.
Honey, I was just kidding, I will gladly help with those windows.
