I’m giving up on the 30 day challenge… the questions are daft…

Anyhoo, this week has been a mare…  I can’t decide if I’m coming or going… but I know for a fact that I’m WAY WAY behind on editing shoots (

• Spent 2 nights trying to sort out my admin which was LONG overdue… so that my tax guy could do my tax returns… and I actually caught up all the way until my current shoots!! And I’m proud to say that for the last 2 days I’ve been keeping it up to date daily.  Lets hope it continues, cos I don’t want that nightmare again!
• Anyhoo, my tax guy told me I should think about consulting now… and going into photography full time… LOL!! I wish… he’s not the one with 2 kids in Private School next year!
• My parent’s old lab, Robbie or Robbiebobs, died yesterday morning.  Everyone is very sad, and I had to explain the whole story to Bradley last night.  It wasn’t easy explaining to him about them taking Robbie to the vet to be put down because he couldn’t walk anymore etc, but Bradley was finding too many holes in the story that he died at their home.  In the end he cried himself to sleep last night   As for Connor, he was a naughty little shit last night… and when he got to bed, he also asked me many questions about Robbie… and that explained the naughtiness (  RIP Robbsie my boy (
• My photo blog stopped working last night.  I couldn’t post any images. After a short panic, I chatted to Henti via Facebook (he managed to fix my blog a few weeks ago too after Dreamhost sent me such a technical answer that made no sense to me at all)  and he went hunting for the problem.  In the process he discovered that my blog was being hit by someone in Asia… directly in the uploads folder where all the photos reside.  They’re not accessing via WordPress so they’re bypassing all the image security I had available to me.  He’s managed to lock it down completely now, hopefully, but I’m not sure what to do about this whole thing yet.  This follows on an email a few weeks ago from a web company telling me that 2 random companies have requested registration of my domain name for about 11 Asian sites… all very weird and worrying now.
• Anyhoo, I owe him BIG time because after he helped me until 1:30am I finally read the Dreamhost blog only to discover that it’s a problem on all their hosted sites… and it wasn’t me after all!! What a waste of time!! And I had so much to do last night!!
• And this is all on top of everything happening at work… which is hectic at the moment…. and all the shoots I’m getting booked for.

Ooh, and I had a follow up visit with the endo this morning about my hairloss from a few months ago.  My treatment has been adjusted, cos my hair has grown back… and now the hormones are causing the acne etc.  Apparently I’m a “special” case and he can’t treat me just per the blood results as my body seems to always to the opposite to what he expects… and I’m extremely sensitive to 2 hormones in particular (DHEA and andi-something-or-other).  I also now have quite a drastic lack of Vitamin D, and still short in Iron… oh and wait for it… my cortisole levels are now too low (which means I’m digging into my stress reserves now… been under stress for too long now) and my insulin levels are dropping.  In short I’m a mess.  I now have to follow a low GI diet in addition to the stuff he’s given me.

Anyhoo, onwards and upwards, I have 6 shoots to edit, and a wedding and a newborn shoot this weekend!! But first,  I need to sleep…
