Dropbox, Framing and Alkagizers

DH spent quite a bit of time at home yesterday dragging old inventory files from his personal business out of Dropbox and printing them so that he had lists to send to companies who might be interested in purchasing the parts. Apparently he's missing three large categories, however, so he's starting the day out very grumpy and says it will be a month of work to get that stuff together. Since we only have three months until STC is out of business, we really don't have the month to spare. 

I use Dropbox a lot, as does Chickie and DH. It's 
super convenient. I have found, sometimes files 
get buried and are a bit harder to find, but generally 
I can locate them fairly quickly. 

When/if he calms down and is "reasonable" (always questionable with DH) again, I might suggest that the AFS stuff be stored in one of those rental places for a few months while he gets his act together to get the items sold or junked. However ... mentioning that to him at 6:20 am when he's crabby because he couldn't find three major files ... I'm wiser than that. I grabbed my cup of tea and came down to write my daily blog instead. 

I adore those two small Connie Seabourn watercolor 
pieces, and had great fun framing them. I should be 
able to finish the framing this week and have them 
ready for purchase. 

A dear online friend sent me $50 to help Chickie purchase one of the Connie Seabourn paintings for her Mom's holiday gift. I'll also toss in $50, so all she'll need to come up with is $50 on her end. That's very do-able for her, and she extends serious "Thank You's" to my friend (and myself as well). As soon as I receive a shipment I'm expecting from United Mfg, I'll be able to finish the frame assembly for the two pieces and call them complete. That shipment should arrive today or tomorrow, ideally. 

I usually have four Alkagizers in my average week, mostly 
for lunch at the shop. I'm never thrilled with them (although 
some batches turn out tastier than others), but I can absolutely 
tell when I'm not drinking them. My body is much happier 
with my alkagizers than without. 

So today I'm going to make my weekly batch of "Ogre Juice" (alkagizers), and then I'm going to work on matting several art pieces I've got here. If I can get those done early, I might take them over to International and see what frames I'd like to pair them with. Framed art usually sells much better than mounted and shrink-wrapped art. Framed art is harder to store, however. The frames need to be protected from impacts and scratches, and the artwork is much thicker. Framed artwork sells better, though. It's a double-edged sword. Still, it's fun to be framing once again. 

On that note, with my cup of tea going cold and breakfast calling me, I'm wrapping this up. I hope all of you have a wonderful Friday and I'll be back tomorrow to wrap up the week. Slava Ukraini.
