Having to move my account in the middle of summer, two years in a

Dear Angelique,
I'll say! :( I just noticed we are now 498 members! So two more to go
until I guess people get bounced??
If there is anything I can do, let me know. My arm can work short spurts,
but that's better than nothing!
Great about the new computer! Of course that always means tons more work
moving files!
Again sorry about the spam list on the poll files. They didn't seem to add
to my personal spam burden, but careless in any case.

Very funny/awful. Sounds like you are ready to explode as well! :( I
think this dreadful Fire Dog year has added to everyone's being unable to keep
up. I've always been careful to keep ahead of things, but not this year!
Hope you had a great pagan convention!!
Sending love,
Hillary
I had not even gotten everything repaired from
the last move,... like the search engines for the Klist and tea room
archives. It all feels quite hopeless at the moment because I am
overwhelmed. When I have too many things that need doing, pulling at me I
get stressed and cannot do anything... I'm about at that point now. Maybe
writing it out will be a release...
I have been trying to stop loathing the web migration procedure so that
it will be smooth. Last month I had a funny thought of moving anyway,
perhaps if I move voluntarily every year things won't get so catastrophic.
Richard presented me with a new computer when he was here... a fast one
that can do video editing! I have been going through the old one, moving
stuff, archiving and deleting. Going through about 90 g of files going back
to 1996... what a mess.
I've also been doing some other maintenance type stuff, trying to
organize my many mailboxes so the spam and spam bounces get deleted
automatically without any genuine mail going missing. .. and that means
tracking down every address I use and making a forwarder for it so the
catchalls become spam bins. I deleted thousands of spams from my webmail
the other day.
I also discovered some spam leaks... email addresses not properly spam
proofed on web pages. Some list member addresses too... I felt terrible
for having overlooked that.
The worst problem with mail going missing was recently getting emails
like this:

>with you. I am trying a different email service. Any day is fine Late

ouch. Very bad. Horrifying. So I have been busy with damage control.
In other news.. my main housekeeper has been off for the past month, and
I am being buried in my own clutter. I have not even completely unpacked my
suitcase from Europe yet. druid is way busy, his three weeks sailing
vacation got cut down to one and he is having to work overtime. I have been
giving him extra TLC... he gets seasonal affective disorder, the man really
needs his "green time" and I have been letting him go fishing instead of
asking him to help with house things.
We came home from sailing to discover the kitchen had become a fruit fly
farm... and they were living in the garbage disposal, and even pouring
bleach and hot water down it has not helped.
druid and I have both been too busy to properly put everything away
after sailing... which enhanced the fruit fly farm well beyond my
tolerance. Today while attacking the situation by setting out a glass of
sherry for them then sucking them up with a vacuum cleaner, I accidentally
knocked a plastic jug of pace picante sauce off the counter and it
exploded. The lid popped off .. I think it must have been fermenting, that
is the only way it could have erupted with such velocity. There was/is
tomato sauce and onion bits spattered 360 degrees in my white kitchen from
floor to ceiling. Fruit flies love salsa.
Camel broke, I could not deal. I walked away from the mess, took off my
salsa spattered clothes in the laundry room and had a time-out.
druid dealt with the worst of it, after we got back from the chiro but
I am still going to be spending my evening wiping salsa stains.
On the list of things for august is a number of large house projects,
like rebuilding a set of stone and cement steps going down into my backyard
that had been neglected for 5 years before we moved in. I weeded them and
pressure washed them two summers ago... and they collapsed. The weeds and
dirt had been holding them together. I have to dig out the old steps, and
all the dirt and weeds to make a steep vertical trench to fill with the
several tons of gravel waiting in a pile out front, then sculpt new steps
out of stone and cement.
Heavy work, great for building muscle and bone density but hazardous
too. Lose my balance on the slope while carrying 50lbs of stone... ? Slow
and steady.
I always come home from sailing with an interesting collection of
bruises and injuries gained by losing balance inside a sailboat on rough
seas. Tonight druid commented on a black and yellow smudge at my temple. I
hit my head on things on three separate occasions, but that one was from
when he accidentally clocked me in the head with an electric boat engine.
ow.

I've temporarily deleted the fscnew folder, after backing it up on my
hard drive. Seems part of the reason for cpanel migration not working well
in the past (and deleting or messing my lists) may have been that it
chokes on accounts that are more than 2g so I have been deleting
non-essentials that can be restored later in hopes that it will ease the
transition.
I have not examined the samples you sent. I hate watching myself, and I
am afraid of putting my hyper self-critical energy into the Shakti matrix
of the work, which could happen if I try to force myself.
I will examine them when it feels right, when I am inspired, in a frame
of mind to enhance the message with love. I trust your judgment, and for
the time being, I really would much rather other helpers review the stuff
and give me feedback.
I'm sorry the lag is causing such a problem. I have not noticed it in
the tape when recording and I don't know where it came from.
I probably won't get back to editing the FST lessons until Sept. I have
done the first 40, and the word docs were uploaded to fscnew before I left
for Europe. I know some of those 40 are still missing bits and pieces,
homework assignments etc.
I don't know how far Sachiko got with putting them into the forms. I
think we got sidetracked with fonts and then I left for Europe. I'll try to
respond to May's emails in a week or two but you might not hear much from
me until Sept. Most of the projects helpers are working on are not
dependent on my editing timeline so no worries. Keep at it please.
I'm off to a pagan convention this weekend, Friday to Monday. I'll be
doing a third eye & discernment workshop, volunteer. The new hosting
account is set up. I'm going to put in the request to move servers when I
get back.
I hope to have a relaxing time because I am feeling kind of worn out
and beat up. Still have to pack... this particular convention is fun but
many times I have been ill afterwards. The past few years it is just
projectile puking on the way home. Today I have found myself wondering why
I am going... but I have made commitments and it is too late to back out now.
One thing that astonished me about the pix of my tour of Europe was how
much younger I look in the photos where you were showing me castles and
Stockholm. I think it was the beneficial effect of both of you snacking on
me. Thanks so much! A photo of me today would probably look like something
the cat dragged in... if you could help I'd surely appreciate it!
Gotta go... thanks everybody for sticking with me.
