Blessing in disguise. / myLot

I hear them. I hear murmurs and you too I am sure. If all is not well just send a message to the powers that be and consider yourself blessed that you now have time to do the much neglected chores in your real life. Blessing in disguise is what I call it! I just finished submitting my property tax. It is a cumbersome form running into pages. I made a big list of all pending jobs and noticed that there is one that has a deadline fast approaching. How about you? Do you also not think that this is a blessing in disguise - not for long, hopefully

Hurry and finish whatever is there in your real life that you have kept pending all because of your addiction to myLot

myLot will be back on its feet sooner than you think

Sometimes when we do not know how to behave that which is our addiction misbehaves too!

forcing us to get back on track!

I was one of the few who was did not experience the problem because I was busy with my offline work. So sometimes, it is a good thing if myLot will do some updating on their system. Have a nice day!

There have been users here who were not prepared for this and were at sea, so to say. Not only here but we should always have alternatives lined up to spend our time usefully if for whatever reason what we have planned cannot be undertaken.

Definitely! It's just so happen that I was really hyperactive last weekend that there was nothing left for me to do yesterday. And so I missed you! I was wondering why you never posted anything yesterday.

Just like you and many others I got on to completing some pending work. I scrapped my blog in toto and I have now started on a new one. Writing a blog needs a lot of thought. I am determined to make it a blog covering several topics mainly to do with my life.

I knew it. My guess was right!

That is the only way we get back to what we need to do as this site can grab all our time exclusively for itself!

MyLot was down? I wasn't home for 2 days and was offline so I must have missed that. I was busy anyway though so I guess in a way it was good because I wasnt missing out on too much

It is slowly limping back. It did put us all in a situation trying to guess what could have gone wrong.

Hello there ! Like you also i have done some stuff that i have planned for so long and remained undone because need to reach payout . At last i was able to arrange old books and segregated the reusable and the obsolete one. Sometimes because of high addiction here , some plans are set aside.

I knew there would be skeletons!

All of us are guilty of neglecting our real life chores and when myLot plays up that is the time for us to rush back to our real life and attend to those chores which are a bore compared to what is in stores for us here at myLot!

I do not get disgruntled about glitches on my sites. I have at least three that keep going through growing pains of some sort. It does break my concentration, but there are always other things to do. As you say, it can be a blessing in disguise to unplug and shut down for a while.

Since we will not stay away from here on our own come what may these glitches are the only way we are forced to get away. Atleast that is what happens to me. Rain or shine I will be glued here using all my spare time.In fact I make time for this addiction neglecting my chores elsewhere. When there are glitches I go there and finish some of those chores, though boring!

Sadly, what I missed most, was my morning coffee klatch, with my friends, here at the Lot, and I did NOT accomplish things that had been put on hold, I set a whole new pile of goals to accomplish, initiating new projects! Living in the Western Hemisphere, dawn is now about 7 a.m. and dusk still about 5:30 p.m.and my high energy is prevalent in daylight! Just the way I am programmed I guess! The dark does not generate physical activity with me, so it is the time to do quiet tasks and before Christmas this year, I went on a rampage and tied up all the loose ends! The tasks that I now have at end, require huge investments of money and time, and my contingency fund has just been usurped by the health of my little doggie. Been to the Vet, twice in the last 6 days, to the tune of $1000.00 plus, and to date, no source of his constant pain. My life is quite turned upside down, sleep is almost non-existant (it's 2:50 a.m. here)and I am on my first cuppa! I even asked the Vet yesterday, for a perscription for sleeping pills, that would put down a horse...LOL! I must re-program my sleeping when this is over, so I am back to functioning and accomplishing! I am feeling quite useless with lack of sleep!

My biggest problem: I am NOISE sensitive, possibly from living solo...and so rurally! My little guy is in horrendous pain...howling pain, and it is so bad, that when these surges of pain hits him, he sits on his bum, and does circles...howling, and in the process...has also worn all the hair of his back legs, male appendage areas and anal area! So it is all carpet burned! The origination, onset seemed to be "Anal Gland Impaction!" So last Tuesday, I took a Ferry to the Island where my Vet lives and the glands were expunged! On the Ferry home, the symptoms,remained! But my Vet had left her Island that nite for a 3 day symposium ..so I could not get "Brui" back to her 'til yesterday. She is a wonderful Vet, (and much less expensive than most) and she is totally perplexed...so EVERY test she could think of has been administered---the results have to go OFF her Island to be analyzed, and I should have some results by Thursday. In the meantime, I (approved) had been giving "Brui" two 81mg. Aspirin! BUT now I cannot give him the Metacam, which is the animal painkiller, for at least 48 hours (until the salicylic acid has been flushed from his system. NOR can I give him aspirin...so we are dealing with the pain, without assistance...and NOW when he cries, I am so tired..I CRY! These periods of pain, go on upwards of 10 minutes at a time, he sleeps for about 15 minutes out of exhaustion..I sleep for that 15 minutes..NOW, I am holding him so that we can try and heal all of his back-end abrasions. I am running out of gas! (Should have said holding him during his pain sessions)...And, of course, I am hating the hours that I have to leave him alone whilst I work! I think I am DOG - TIRED!

Oh no! I am upset to hear about your dog. What is the diagnosis perga. I have had many pets but now I have just one and she is a full time. It is now 4.30 p.m. as I am typing this. You are up so early probably because you are awake having had no sleep. Have you tried meditation and some breathing exercises. That could help you get sleep without having to resort to pills that would put down a horse

I took care of many things while myLot was on a drinking binge as Lamb puts it!

I scrapped my half written blog. I have now started it all over again with a totally new concept and hope to publish it bit by bit.

You should not let him suffer perga. You know what I mean. I have done that to two of our pets. They are better off that way. Don't get me wrong. If your Vet is not able to diagnose yet and she is not available then there is no other alternative.
