Yesterday was a bit of a rough day. I spent most of it alone. Dan was home for a couple of hours before he went to go play basketball with the guys. That was all the human interaction I got. I was really moody and emotional. I cried a lot. I think I was also feeling pretty frustrated. I've been working away trying to get the house in order, and it ( Read more... )

I'm going to have some GOOD things to add to my "recipes for success" box. Yesterday, I just mostly rested. I took naps. I sat on the couch. I didn't even do any reading. My brain and my body both needed a day off. I feel better now. I feel really hot, though. Maybe it's just the humidity, with the rain, because it's not that hot out, but I'm ( Read more... )

Back from my first function. Still in one piece. It was truly a wild experience. I can't really put into words what all I've gotten out of it. I do know that Dan and I are both excited to get started building our business though. It was funny. We had a "bus owl". After Dan and I spoke. (Dan stumbled in the beginning, but ended up doing a great job ( Read more... )

I didn't sleep well last night. I think it's because I'm so excited! I'm going to the first open meeting for my group tonight. (My first open meeting ever was the Crystal Lake one with Tom last week.) Tomorrow night, we're leaving for function. It's going to be an interesting weekend. I think 12 hours on a coach bus is going to be REALLY bad for my ( Read more... )

A lot of people have questions about our business. A lot of people think it's a scam. Dateline even investigated the company because it seemed "too good to be true". I thought that was a pretty stupid reason for an investigation. This all doesn't bother me too much, because most people are pretty stupid. They're also pretty resistant to and ( Read more... )

Well, I suppose I really should be working on my paper, which is due tonight, and which I've hardly begun to write. (Good thing I only work until noon.) I can't believe it's June 27th already. My actual summer vacation starts this Friday. Lisa and I are taking ourselves out to lunch to celebrate. (The boss usually takes us out when summer school is ( Read more... )

Thoughts racing. Looks like we might get Mel signed up as a customer (friend of ours). He's not interested, at this point, in being an IBO. However, he also has no idea what an IBO is. So, maybe if Dan G. showed him the plan he'd like to try it. At this point, his even being a customer hinges on what his wife thinks. She didn't seem opposed to it, ( Read more... )

Hmm... To do Today. Aikido this morning. I'm not sure who's teaching. That's always a little scary right now, because I want to make sure training is safe. Anyone other than Sensei might let things get out of hand. Of course, I know when to sit out if I need to. This evening we're going to Bruce's house for a barbecue. They're moving to Montana. ( Read more... )

Another week of summer school drawing to a close. Half over now. I think we're supposed to get paid today. Yippee! Then, we'll get our check from our loan next week. I've made a list of things to pay off. I think we can pay them all off and just have that one payment from the loan. Plus, it's really low interest, so if we make extra payments we can ( Read more... )

Krista came over last night to help me set up my Ditto order. (That's the repeat online ordering system for the business.) Turns out, I didn't really need help. It's really user-friendly. She brought Diana with her. Diana is Joel's wife. Joel is Brian's Sponsor. Brian is our sponsor. It gets kind of complicated after that, so I'll leave it there ( Read more... )
