Day thrown askew

This morning’s attempt to clear out my inbox threw off the whole rest of the day. This was because one of the messages in my box was a notification about domain name renewal. There is a whole saga about our renewal of the schlockmercenary domain name. We’ve been wrestling with it for weeks now, but supposedly it was all fixed. Supposedly. I decided to double check. Not fixed. It is Saturday and customer support does not answer the phone.

The good news is that thanks to our marvelous web server guy, we’ve covered the gaps. Whether or not I can pummel sense into the domain company on Monday, Schlock fans will not have to go without their comic. I’ll be trumpeting information about this fix just as soon as it is all in place and has been tested. I really can not say enough nice things about our server guy. Every time we’ve called for any reason, he drops everything to help us. He even does this in situations like this one where part of the problem is that we didn’t take care of it sooner. (Although I’d have thought three weeks in advance was plenty of time to handle a domain renewal. Apparently not.)

So solution found. But it loomed all day. Because of the looming, I was unable to throw myself full bore into house cleaning the way that I had intended to do. The house is cleaner than it was, but not as clean as I’d intended. Sigh. Can I have Howard home now?
