So Much to Try and Remember

Waaaaaah! All of my Flash skills are gone, as well. I opened it up last night and can't remember how to do a danged thing. This so totally sucks monkey ass! *sigh* So much for making a quick flash header for my design website. If I can find some spare time in the next week, I'll cram from one of my books. If not, I'll have to take that off of my resume as a skill. Argh!

I'm learning Filemaker Pro at work. The owner of the company bought server and 10 licenses for work and I volunteered to implement it. I really just wanted to learn to use it on company time and then get it for my own business later.

I've spent the day throwing stuff out. A LOT of stuff. I had things stuffed in my bedroom closet that I haven't seen since we moved into this house. Actually, I found that old Camp Fire Girl Indian gown I was wearing in that photo I posted last week. I don't know why I've been hanging onto it. It holds no meaning except for a huge waste of my time, so out it went. Clothes I've been holding onto hoping that someday I might fit into them--out they went (when would I have an occasion to wear an early '80s pantsuit anyway?). Mom's old wrapping paper box where all of the ribbon is stained with niccotine and the paper still smells like cigarette smoke--out it went. Huge box of VHS tapes--out it went. I also threw out a plywood reindeer woodworking project that I started over 5 years ago. When I have a house with a garage to work on it and a basement to store the finished project, I'll try again. In the meantime, they're in my way and they give me splinters everytime I try to move them.

I'm changing my craft room into an office (where I can close the door to get some freelance work done), moving a bunch of my craft stuff to the bunny room, and hopefully finding room to store some of the storage stuff in the closets here. If we could save some money by having a smaller off-site storage unit, it would help a little.

OK, that's enough of a break. Back to it.
