Finally, things are starting to settle down around here.
Last week I caught a nasty bug and didn't feel much like doing anything for most of the week. I managed to take Mom to her doctor's appointments and keep both of us fed, but that's about all I managed until Saturday, when I started feeling better.
Mom had the same bug and we were a sorry crowd most of the week.
She finished her radiation therapy last week and the skin cancer on her nose looks much better. The doctors are convinced that the radiation therapy was a success and it doesn't look like any surgery will be necessary.
For the first time in weeks, we don't have to make a trip to a doctor or hospital every day, and only have one appointment for her this whole week. This means that I can start trying to whip my schedule back into shape and get back to doing what I need to be doing to grow my businesses.
Saturday morning, I downloaded over 2,000 email messages and over 1,500 of them were spam. This is getting to be horrible.
Because I'm involved in marketing and have wide ranging interests, creating filters for the spam hasn't been easy. What many people would prefer to block, I want to read. So, I filter my email into over 100 separate in-boxes and deal with each in-box based on its priority. I managed to get through all the most important messages by Saturday afternoon and caught up will all of them early this morning.
If you've been trying to reach me over the last few days, I should have responded by now. If I didn't, please email me and put something significant in the subject line.
Recently, I've stopped reading messages where the subject is blank or only says Hi or Hello. Many spam messages use these subjects. If you want to email me and get my attention, put something in the subject line that will stand out and which gives a good representation of what your message is about.
I should be back on schedule with my communications by tomorrow. Sorry about the delays last week.
I'm going to be opening several new websites in the next couple of weeks and I'll announce them here.
This evening, I'll be making the rounds of the discussion groups that I've been neglecting over the last few weeks and get caught up there.
It's going to be good having more time to get things done.
All the best,
JD
