What an Incredibly Busy Week

This past week, on top of dog-sitting the three dogs for my girlfriend, we have been doing a favor for another friend who owns a dry cleaners in town.  Bill used to work there two years ago and the woman who took over when he re-retired (TeeHee) wanted to go on vacation and there was no one to cover for her, so they called Bill to see if he would work there for the week.  So we bartered and agreed to work the week in exchange for the cleaning and pressing of our 68 pieces of dry cleaning that needed to be done.

The hours all week were 7:30am to 6:00pm and we alternated which dogs we took with us each day (Nano went with us every day). {Photos to follow once I get organized again.}  But it was totally exhausting and my back is killing me. I was unable to get on the computer during the day as there was no Internet connection available, then by the time I got home at night, I was just so tired and in so much pain, I ended up sitting down (after Bill either took me out to get something to eat or brought something home so I wouldn't have to cook - gotta love that man!!) and watching about an hour of TV and then falling to sleep.

I am SO behind at visiting peoples blogs and responding to emails {I have about 1500 to go through}, but I hope to catch up this weekend and by the beginning of next week.  I hope you all had a fabulous week with your families and if any of your children started school, I hope it went fabulously, if you didn't yet, enjoy your last few days/weeks of summer. Thanks for always being there for me and for your encouraging words on Twitter.  Talk to you all soon as I catch up on my emails.  HUGS!!

My Emails Have Disappeared... AGH!!!

I have NO idea what happened and I have no idea how to fix it, but I had fallen asleep around 5:30pm today {courtesy of some Yorkies waking me up at 2:15, 4:38 and 6:37 this morning} and woke up around 7:00 and started to make dinner.  Bill asked me what happened to all my emails, I must have been working really hard this afternoon.  When I asked him how many I had, he said 22, which I knew was totally impossible because when I fell asleep, I had over 400 ~ yes, you read that right, FOUR HUNDRED!!!

So after dinner, I tried looking for them everywhere on AOL and I couldn't find them anywhere... not in the recently deleted file, not in the old file, nowhere.... I searched the AOL Help database (what a waste THAT was) and I cannot find them anywhere. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problems I had last week with the person who hacked my emails and did some spoofing, but I don't think so because I have changed my password and don't see anymore evidence of spoofing, but who knows anymore.

Of course, while I was sleeping, one of my "minions" could have done something that I don't know how to undo:

So, if you sent me an email and I do not reply, PLEASE resend it to me so I can respond to you. I am not ignoring you, I love to talk to people and hear how everyone is and I try to respond to everyone who comments on my blog. I'm sorry if I don't get to you and please don't take it personal. Thanks for your patience.

Until next time..... Lorie
