Crash And Burn

Not much of a post to come back with after my little break, it’s more an explanation of my why I’ve not been updating than anything juicy!

The truth is that since the beginning of September I’ve not been sleeping properly at all. A small part of the problem is the change in routine as my daughter switched from primary school to secondary school (it’s a much earlier start to the day for us all) but the major part is the worry/stress of coming up with those new ideas that pay the bills. Like just about everybody out there making money online I have an approach that involves me churning out fresh idea after fresh idea in the hope that 1 or 2 hit (for every site I have that makes 10 dollars a day I have 10 that make less than a dollar). As certain things that have worked in the past come to the end of their natural cycle I need to replace them with new ideas and in the current environment very few new things are actually making any real money. So stress leads to a tiredness which leads to a lack of good ideas which leads to stress?! It’s a bit of a vicious circle really and one that I’d like to break as soon as possible.

So cue Wednesday where I finally get to relax with my mates and drink beer (A cracking night out it was too). Of course one side affect of this is a good nights sleep, a first in months. Now my body has realised on what its been missing all it wants to do is sleep, so from Wednesday to today (Sunday evening) I’ve done next to nothing other than sleep. My eyes will only stay open for a few hours at a time, I’m either tired or have no energy all of the time. I’m not going to the gym or doing any exercise and my body is in a state of melt down at the moment (Yes I was half tempted to start the “I’m Falling To Bits Trying To Make Money Online Blog”). The good thing about all this is that eventually I will hit rock bottom, will feel refreshed, will get back in the gym and will start working (both mentally and physically). My plan for now is to try and relax, enjoy the Christmas break with my family just keeping what I have already ticking along ready for a resurgence of energy in the new year. Until that point updates may be sporadic, I’m not going to push myself to post daily but as and when something stand out happens I’ll sure let you all know about it (now might be a good time to think about subscribing to the RSS feed, at least that way you’re not wasting your time coming here if I’ve not updated).

Take it easy,

Why I Stink Of Cat Shit

Cat Shit Garden

Thanks to the non existent summer we’ve had over in the UK this year my garden looked a mess this morning.

 

With the constant rain the grass hasn’t had time to dry and so has got completely out of control. Seeing as how we’ve now managed 4 days of almost warm sunshine on the Isle of Man I thought today would be the day. Unfortunately I was out last night and so was feeling a little dodgy, enough to say it was best not to stray too far from a toilet! So that was my Sunday afternoon, 3 hours of wading through piles of cat shit with a lawn mower whilst trying not to throw up from the smell. Dirty bastard cats, what are they for? Other than killing nice little animals they serve no purpose, it’s almost like they live just to shit in my garden. One of the little gits even had the cheek to try and sneak in whilst I was mowing/shit spreading.

If anybody has any tips on how to keep cats out of your garden I’d love to hear them, I’ve tried a sonic scarer, bottles full of water, lemon sprays, my next deterrent is going to be a gun?
