Goings on
Hi everyone!
Thanks to all who posted with good wishes! It's so nice to be online again. I've really missed being in touch with you. So far, things are going well with the townhouse. We had the inspection done and knocked off a few more thousand dollars off the finagled offer... Ooo, this lady is getting my house for a steal! Kills me! It absolutely kills me! But reality is a harsh mistress and I know we just have to get rid of the townhouse for whatever we can get. Ugh. But if things on her end get approved and whatnot, then we should be closing next weekend, a full week earlier than first discussed. Yayyy!
As far as Darkhaven goes, it looks like my webserver host no longer exists. Crap. As in Crappity Crap Crap! So I need to look yet again for a new host server. Though I think as a present to myself, and to fans of the site, I might look into getting my own domain name so that I won't have to worry about changing the URL every time I need to switch servers. Wouldn't that be nice? Though it wouldn't happen until March. I did peek into Darkhaven as a domain and its name availability, but it looks like most .whatevers are taken. (.com, .net, .org, .info, etc.) Might have to add a bit onto the name. Ahhh, but what? Darkhaven-fic? Darkhaven-BookSanctuary? Kimmys-Darkhaven? Ahh, decisions, decisions. If anyone knows a good domain or webhost server deal, I'm all ears! *G*
What else... oh, the pretty, shiny, glitter of working at a bookstore surrounded by tons of great stories has been worn off by the overwhelming mass of rich rude customers. It's amazing to me that the more wealthy someone seems to be, the less basic manners they seen to have. Makes me shake my head. The good thing is that I won't have to deal with those customers so much starting next week. The bad thing with that is because that's due to the lack of hours I'll be getting. Apparently the new store isn't do as well as predicted, so everyone's hours were drastically cut. *sigh* We'll see how long this goes on for before I need to start looking for a second or different job.
But to end this post on a more positive sounding note... I'll be brave and give a cheer! We have a closing date! We have a closing date! Yaaaay! :)
