Discouraged
It’s so discouraging when you start your morning knowing you will not have enough hours in the day to do everything you need to get done. 😔 I woke up with a sinus headache this morning also. The pollen here is crazy right now. Our front porch is almost solid yellow.
Once I finish morning coffee, eat breakfast, and feed the cats again (since they never show up at the same time to eat these days), I have to go to the DMV/tag renewal this morning. My scatterbrained self forgot to renew my car tags online before the end of March. With it being past the month of renewal, you have to go in to do it. Grrrr I also have quite a few errands, but first I need to figure out what I’m going to cook tonight and get my grocery list together. It needs to be something quick because I also have stuff I need to get done inside and a couple things outside before tomorrow. My mom is coming tomorrow to visit. We are going to Birmingham, so I won’t be here most of tomorrow either.
I’ll be skipping my allergy shot again this week (missed last week too) since I won’t have the time to do it today or tomorrow, and they aren’t open on Fridays. I also need to get some outstanding custom videos done; I’m hoping to get those all caught up by this weekend. And the grass (or I guess I should say the weeds) need to be cut soon as well before it turns into a jungle – but I’m having to work around Shish and Vivian filming outside for the next 2 weeks.
On top of always being so busy I can’t seem to get everything done, I need to figure out what I’m going to do about Fanta’s website. I just found out at the end of last week that the software I’ve been using to serve the download links for the video orders is increasing their monthly price. From $19 to $159 a month. SERIOUSLY?! Fuck that shit! That is the most ludicrous price jump I’ve ever seen! A $140/month increase?! With the amount of sales I have through Fanta (since I’ve not posted much yet), I can’t afford that. So I will have to take the video store offline and either leave it offline, or edit the 150 videos I’ve posted so far, re-adding download links to each one once I start using new software to send the download links. And hope they don’t decide to jack the price up 736% at some point.
This is why I haven’t posted any more videos on Fanta’s website since the initial 3 from last week. I am trying to figure out what I want to do. So flipping frustrating! Part of me wants to forget about it and just keep it on Clips4Sale, but I have a lot of videos I can’t post on C4S because of the new rules regarding content (like out and about public videos). Also, C4S keeps adding new shit that just pisses me off. I will post about what will be done on Fanta’s website, once I figure it out myself.
I remember when things used to be so much easier to do. Am I the only one struggling to get anything done these days?? Is this what a midlife crisis looks like? 😂 Why is life so complicated now?! I guess it’s time to get off the computer and start getting some of this shit done today.
