I've been trying to get a few things done before the Viking Invasion that's about to ensue. We have some visitors from Sweden visiting for the next two weeks so I think I may not have so much time for my internet pursuits.
My husband's former partner Olle from the early 70's in a mining camp and trapping cabin on the Yukon river will be visiting with his mate Margaret.

These boys are building a cabin in the early 70's on Hannah Creek on the Charley river which runs into the Mighty Yukon in Alaska
Olle Backlof is in the middle and my husband is on the right
( many years before I knew him)
Dale Ruckle was another partner of their's.
I expect there will be some good stories and reminiscing going on.
But back to the gist of this post. I've been trying to familiarize myself with my new website
It's not going so well yet and yesterday I seemed to have given myself a wicked headache over it perhaps due to drinking my husband's full caf coffee and semi- fasting and cleansing with a super greens concoction. I had a fabulous massage midday which made me forget to eat, very relaxing after a morning of puzzling how to make my posts show up on the site even though they were recorded as published.
Later on we went off on a shopping trip at Home Depot when suddenly an ocular migraine occurred which isn't painful (the headache had left during the massage) but they are awfully disconcerting. What happens is I experience a hole in my vision with raggedy flashing prisms on the periphery of the hole. They last about 30 to 40 minutes and make you feel simply not right at all.
I just want to sit still and calm myself when I get these.
We stopped at a chain restaurant which we hardly ever do called "My Big Fat Greek Restaurant"since I wanted to give it a try. My visuals were abating somewhat as I was looking at the menu.
It seemed a bit noisy in there and suddenly the lights dimmed and the Greek music started to blast and the atmosphere was akin to a flash mob scene as the servers clapped and shouted in unison. I tell you it was just crazy and then they lined up, linked arm in arm and wove their way through the whole restaurant, about 10 of them! Added to that they were punctuating the performance with fire-breathing, I'm talking 3 and four foot flames. One of the menus on the table next to us even caught fire and was quickly extinguished.
I'm not sure if this is typical for this chain, it certainly was a surprise to us!
It kind of activated the visuals with my ocular migraine what with my elevated heart rate and flames all about the place!
The food arrived and things calmed down enough to enjoy some nice stuffed peppers that we ordered.
Fortunately although rather fatigued I was able to enjoy the movie "The King's Speech"
Which brings me back to the work part again ( I didn't realize that I was going to insert that story but I thought it worthy for entertainment)
Today I went on an Etsy blitz and posted some new items in both of my long neglected shops.
I had been trying to activate my own shop on Facebook through the Payvment site but it seems some folks are uncomfortable having their profiles accessed on Facebook so I went back to the more familiar Etsy format.
I had been hoping to add the Payvment page to my blog and website as well. I think that's where the headache first originated.
Anyway you can now find some of my ephemera and such on my vintage Etsy site
and some beads on my other site
