This week my Word of the Week is: Rough!! #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is:

Rough

Ugh! This week has been a rough one with unexpected news, me not feeling so great and having to deal with a lot of real life things going on and blog issues yesterday. Things might not have been all rainbows and sunshine over the past week but things are looking up, it's the weekend and we have a lot to look forward to.

It's been one of those weeks that can just go and get in the bin. I will be glad when it's over and we can forget about it but at the moment issues from the week are still dragging on and probably will be until I receive a response to complaints that I have made about various things.

It's like everything comes all at once! If the unexpected news (I can't talk about it publicly) came last week I would have handled it just fine but I have been feeling rough this week. I have had a small dose of tonsillitis, plus hay fever and period pains! I've been tired, ached, been feeling hot and cold and just meh! I think feeling run down has not helped keep my emotions in check. Thankfully I am feeling much better now in myself, I just have a little bit of a sore throat and now a cough.

It was just too much! I had three days of feeling sorry for myself and then pulled myself together. I wrote strongly worded emails, I was going to phone the people I needed to but with having a sore throat meant I could hardly talk and didn't really want to raise my voice and it worked out well. I got everything that I wanted to say in the emails and more and probably things that I would have forgotten to say on the phone.

And to top it all yesterday I had blog issues! I don't know how or why but my domain provider decided to add a landing/launching soon page on my blog. I am not creating a new blog or website, this one is here to stay!

Blog launch page

I only went on their website to check over my account and see when I was paid up until, I didn't even click anything. I panicked, turned to Google which was no help and the chat thing on the website wasn't great either so I rang up. Me who hates speaking on the phone but I was that upset that my blog had gone. Turns out it hadn't gone, it was safe. I could get into the back end of it where I write my posts and stuff the strange page was just there in everyone's face. Anyway the woman on the phone was so helpful and got rid of the page but then had to reset the settings at their end. Last time I did anything in those settings was when I changed from Northumberland Mam to Life As Kim. The woman did mess one little thing up so for a few hours it wasn't working, even though it said it would take an hour to work again. Between myself and the amazing Jayne reminding me to do the final step we got it back up! Phew! I still never got to the bottom of why that page appeared.

How has your week been? I hope you have had a good one! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Raisie Bay for her Word of the Week linky!
