It’s just your run-of-the-mill weeks when a handful of things. that if they came individually, wouldn’t be so bad. But instead they all happen at once. As you know, life is rarely that easy.
Ever since my doctor doubled my dose of Effexor I have been in a much better mood. I have gone from one anxiety attack per day to one per week. The side effect is than lessened depression has caused a return of my insomnia. Instead of fighting it, I am changing my routine to work with it. I have switched from working in the morning to doing most of my online affairs after the girls go to bed. It’s not as if I have to worry about hurting *anyone’s* feelings by having my nose in the screen.
The girls go to bed between 7-7:30. That gives me about 5 hours of work time. I have Fluffy’s wake up routine set up so she can do most of it while I doze with my bedroom door open. I prod her along the way with groggy shouts of “have your greased your hair?”
I knocked my first two weeks of CSS course work out in a flash. It’s all online and we have our own web root to build a directory in. It’s so much fun. This week we begin DreamWeaver. I am bubbling over with joy. You think I have made changes to my blog design thus far? Just you wait.
Redesigning my blog is akin to how your toddler bosses around the dog. It’s one aspect of my life where I have total control. I can assert my will into the stylesheet, widgets and plug-ins as much as I want and no one gets hurt. I have been having a blast messing with effects in PhotoShop. I have loaded 5 new header images installed. They are set to random. I was feeling a little punchy last night. Each one has a different tag line.
We are rocking it a Type-A Mom. My darling Kelby decided to move up the site updates by two weeks. Good thing she had to do all the hard stuff. I was little miss admin girl. Running from component to component cleaning things up. The layout Kelby choose is phenomenal. But she could have waited another week until we got all of our editors hired and settled in. Ahem.
And while this is happening the air quality around here tanks. IT is so stagnant, it feels like my kid is sitting on my chest. I have been using my inhaler every four hours plus extra Zyrtec and Benedryl. I’ve caught myself zoning into the screen more times than I can count this weekend.
I have my first custom Twitter profile order! I am working on it tonight. I am going to have a “sale” when Mike comes home (ergo I have more time to work unhindered) something like anything you want for $20. Like all the add ons you want for free. Get it? I have found so many awesome designs. Now I am digging dozens of fonts. Time to go unzip and install them.
