Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Did we ever turn the tables around last night. My head barely
hit the pillow last night and I was fast asleep. Kathy however started thinking
of all kinds on unimportant things and couldn’t stop her mind from working for
over two hours. I woke up feeling refreshed before 7:00 had completed my
morning reading and had begun working on my photo editing before starting to
make breakfast. Like magic the sound of the kettle turning off woke Kathy as it
always does from her delayed sleep. She basically dragged her way through the
beginning of the day.
While Kathy did her morning bookkeeping and blog reading I continued
my chore of working on my Photo Editing our Blogger Contact Cards. As mentioned in the last couple of posts I wrote
how I use Microsoft Excel to do a number of things such as creating business or
contact cards. Our Contact Card is quite elaborate and consists of nearly two
dozen components. In order to be able to make a sheet of ten contact cards at
once you first have to make a Master where you place all the components on the
card where you want them. Next you have to print the finished Master then scan
it back to the computer as a picture. Unfortunately this will cause a pixel discoloring
and distortion. This is where I use the Photo Editing to clean away this added
discoloring and distortion one pixel at a time. This process took approximately
twenty hours of eye straining work to create the final template. At this point
it can then be loaded to the multi-card sheet without any loss of information.
We were finally able to run a few errands after lunch. We picked
up our winter supply of medications from Shoppers Drug Mart. They had it loaded in a box. Our next
stop was to Green Shield to drop off Kathy’s claim form from Healthy
Heals. Our third stop
was the Credit Union to cash a cheque for $3.50
sent to me as a refund for one of the clothes dryers that didn’t work for me a
while back. We were making such good time we chose to walk around the Dollar Store to get some exercise. It was getting
close to supper time so our last stop was the Zehr’s grocery store to get a few things to
tide us over for a while.
After having supper I started counting all our meds that I’d
just picked up. The reason for that was last year I didn’t count them and Kathy
almost ran out of her diabetes medication so now I count them each time we get
refills. In the process of counting them I repackaged them in less than half
the containers they had bottled them in. Like I’ve said before companies like
to over package.
The weather guessers this evening are all in agreement that
things are now going to get cold around here. We’ll just keep our fingers
crossed it doesn’t get too cold. Thanks for following along and
feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Humm... why not just save the master you have created on the xcel sheet? Just click save and then save as... put a new name in that box and then DROP DOWN the bottom box to jpeg or jpg and then you have it all good!
ReplyDeleteSeems like a long process ours only takes a few minutes done in office.
ReplyDeleteHmm no address, email or phone number on your cards?
