In Over My Head

AHHHHHHHH!!!!... I'm ok. LOL
AHHHHHHHH!!!!... I'm ok. LOL

So update time guys: I guess I will just come out and say it and elaborate later but to sum things up I have a bit of a feeling I am over my head. This project is so much more dynamic than I ever thought, it's so much to learn and take in and for the first time in about 5 months I am at a point I am drowning in photos, some developed others not, that's no big deal. I My orginazation system is at its capacity and I need to learn a more efficient way to proceed, the real overwhelm comes from the website development of www.ashliveslife.com. I have 800 photos un tagged, un categorized, unindexed, these are all terms that up to a week ago I was blissfully unaware of, at least in the world of web design. I'm opening up a shop... Keep in mind this just started and is nowhere near up and running, however because of having it as a feature some items such as the shopping cart can not be hidden. Please be patient. I am out of photos from the trip and am down to miscilanious pictures and pictures taken pre moving from pennsylvania which I was really hoping to safe until we were settled, but I realize we are here now, we are settled, it is time. I am going to try to finish up all the california renderings tomorrow but at this point I've got so much a head of me I'm not putting deadlines on anything at this time as to not let down myself and others because I set deadlines not understanding the magnitude of the projects. Six months ago this was a tiny channel with barely an ember aglow, scant a chance that anything could ignite the fire that burned within and then it did. This became real. I made some risky investments, none of which I regret. I'm in way deeper than I ever expected and I love it, but the last couple days has really compounded several things, RV Life is awesome, but moving days aren't easy and they are absolutely miserable when my fiance is incapacitated by a dental infection, my back decided to give out half way through tearing down in the 115 degree heat. Today we finished setting up, Jeff got meds at the hospital, and my back went back in, but we are sore, tired, and cranky, and it dawned on me in the shower how much I really have left to do before I can say Ashliveslife is officially its own brand. I know there's no chance of me finishing the photos, I apologize for the interruption in uploading but I need to take a day, write down every new goal on paper as I did when I started this and reassess where to go from here. I am in this for the long haul. Nothing's going to stop me, i think things may have to slow down for the next couple weeks until I get the next steps figured out. Bear with me, there is so much more to come, I have about 500 images to be released and capturing more and more every day as I open my eyes more and more to new possibilities. After the last few exhausting days I am taking a day off, knowing unfortunately no post is going out, I may still interact with notifications but that too is a whopping 342. I need a second person but this is a one gal show so we got this. Time for a good night sleep, here's to a good restful day tomorrow, and at the end of the day I can say thank you all for all the support lately. It is officially mind boggling. Thanks again!
