Here's what I worked on this week:
- Website work for me. I'm building a mailing list, series of messages, the web page, and landing page for Polar Bear on the Loose. It's too early yet, but I'm building things to be ready when the time comes.
- I revamped Inuit's blog, replacing my theme template with my purchased Weaver Pro theme, then I customized it for Inuit's new look.
- I saw some things that initially concerned me on the back end (but I eventually figured out what they were). Still, I didn't want anyone hijacking my site, so I installed the WordFence security plug-in. Using the real time feature on that, I saw where a site in Italy had been hitting my login page and trying to login as admin. I know conventional wisdom is to not use "admin" or "administrator" for you admin login, but I hadn't made that change. I will be changing the login name on all my blogs over the next few weeks.
- Most Christmas cards and packages got into the mail this week.
- Deer feeder and camera are set up on the ranch for the final deer census of the year.
- Blood draw and prescriptions are picked up
- Haircut done
- I've been trying Wendy's tumeric recipe. It's not hurting, but I'm not seeing dramatic results yet.
- I signed up for the Best Year Ever (BYE) planning workshop. (Wendy knows what I'm talking about) It's pretty good, but I'm not learning anything earth shattering (not yet, anyway -- I'm only on Day 3). I am doing the self-paced version of the course. The VIP version didn't offer anything I was interested in. It's too early to judge, though.
- No visit from older daughter. Her husband got time off work, but she had to work her part-time job.
The Week Ahead:
- Semi-annual doctor appointment on Thursday (ask about knee, which is locking and sending what feels like an uncomfortable electric shock every time I "unlock" it)
- Get email working on the Air
- Ensure apps are up-to-date on the Air
- Do Time Machine and SuperDuper! backups of the MacBookPro on Thursday evening
- Finish BYE workshop
- Watch our local football team compete for their three-peat championship on TV on Thursday evening
- Outline a brief background book about Inuit and her creation to give away in exchange for signing up to the New Release email list. (Book to be written while we're in San Antonio)
- Have everything ready for the A-Z books to do some work on them.
- Once I get to San Antonio, drop the MacBookPro at the Apple store to get it sent off for repair (Christmas week is probably the worst week ever to try to do this)
- Get final packages and cards in the mail

In my experience, herbal remedies are cumulative and gradual. Sometimes you never notice the effect until you stop doing it. A friend of my dad's says (about taking gelatin for joint pain) you won't notice a difference when you take it, you won't notice a difference if you stop, but a week or two later, you'll notice it's harder to get out of bed.
Kind of along the lines of me noticing the steroid shot was helping because the pain in my left knee was no longer masking the pain in my right? ;) Alan commented that my pain seemed worse after starting the turmeric, but I think that was just a coincidence.
