For the first time in many months all of my email has been answered and attended to and I have nothing - absolutely nothing - in my inbox. Today has been extraordinarily hectic to say the least. I had a bushel of emails to answer, 140 lbs of fabric being delivered, a seamstress with a broken sewing machine who needed to use my not so great sewing machine, a seamstress dropping off bags, a seamstress attempting to sew bags after showing up really really late when I had an appointment to go to, a hair appointment, a purchase of a new sewing machine, website work, and other things I cannot even remember.
The sewing machine that I bought is a Brother with an onboard computer. It does a number of fancy stitches that might come in handy for something. More importantly it is all computerized and handles a myriad of details so that I do not have to think about them.
My seamstress got absolutely nothing done today. She sat in my office and yapped and I got almost nothing done except for a few emails. She also brought her son who was loud and obnoxious. I seriously don’t need that in my office.
At least tomorrow I can watch two uninterrupted hours of Sherlock Holmes (The Hound of the Baskervilles) - that will be a welcome relief.
But tonight, we will do our regular workout of pain after this exhausting day.

I have been incredibly busy for a number of reasons. I am launching my handbag line literally *right now* and have been extremely busy hiring people and working with fabric and designing bags. Also, I visited my family in Georgia and attended to a few business related things while there. Brian and I have also been doing more outdoor activities. He’s been doing water activities with me lately and we are having a lot of fun. I body boarded some treacherous shore break two weeks ago and that was fun. Brian and I went snorkeling at Kahalu’u Beach Park in Kona and we both had a blast. I prefer the reef when the water is deeper but I think it was better for him - he prefers it when it is more shallow. Everything fun on this island is pretty much free or dirt cheap - it’s great.
I have been reading Sherlock Holmes lately so Brian and I also started watching the Sherlock Holmes series from the 1980’s - what a fabulous series. I highly recommend it (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes). Sherlock Holmes is supposed to be a textbook INTJ - it is interesting. Brian thinks Holmes is great and he would be friends with him. This makes sense since Brian is attracted to INTJs. I, however, dislike every INTJ I’ve come in contact with and prefer to read things written by them or see/read things that star an INTJ. While I like watching Holmes and reading about him I know that I would dislike him profusely if I knew him in person. INTJs do seem to dislike one another as a rule…

Work is going really well today - my new business cards are ordered, my new logo is ready to go, my new accounting system is online and I’ve figured out a Linux workaround for it, my help wanted ad is in the paper and on Craigslist and it is not even noon yet! I need a laptop asap…
The stock market and our stocks in paticular seem to be heading up! Yay!
While I was on the phone some Jehovah’s Witnesses came to the door AGAIN (I just told these people recently not to come back) and gave me some flyer for a “very important” meeting at the Kingdom Hall in our village.
I have decided to find my birthfamily so I can secure some health related information. I have enlisted the help of a private investigation company that searches for birthparents in Florida. This should be interesting…

We are extremely busy this week and I have been looking to file various patents, trademarks and a new corporate name as well as a new domain name and a ton of other things. More on this later…

A myriad of things are going on right now and all of them are fun and exciting! Some interesting things are occuring business-wise and I could not be more excited.
We spent Valentine’s Day watching two really bad and gruesome X-Files episodes while eating Chinese takeout - it was interesting. The episodes were these two: the weird man with mother issues who kills people and takes hair and nails from them and the other episode was some satanic cult that sacrifices the kids living in the town. We could not even finish watching the second episode, it was just too stupid and absurd.
Today, I am going to find a dresser and a new sewing table. I also have a doctor’s appointment to find out what is going on with my body…
