Hoping against Hope

I’m feeling better, but my silence over here has been more for being too busy to think than anything else. I’m waiting to hear back from a 3-month gig, I’m working on my smaller projects from guru.com, and I’m getting an application in the mail from a local college to teach some web and graphic design classes at night. While I’m extremely low on money at the moment, I’m thinking that by the time that

Marbles in my Throat

I’m sick. Tonsils-are-swollen, Can’t-really-speak-without-pain, Could-not-sleep-without-sitting-up, Miserable-drainage, sick. I’m taking Elizabeth to daycare and then going back to bed. Bleh.

Thank Gawd for the Meds

My mother picked up my Trileptal on her way up to Atlanta this weekend, and it was a god-send. I could finally take my regular dose of meds, which has improved everything around here. I seem to be able to concentrate on something for more than a few seconds, and other than the dizziness of going back to a regular dose, I’ve been ok. Today was Elizabeth’s first day back at daycare, so both of

Day Late, Dollar(s) Short

The birthdays/a> were good, if mellow… Other than the fact that yesterday I completely blanked about my weekly posting to blogher like I wanted to do. I made up for it this morning, though, so, hey, I’m only a day late. I’m working on not only the paperwork to start my own design business, but also coming up with an identity for it, and trying to get some side work while I’m at it. While

Humpity-Humpity-Hump Day

Today is the day of forgetfulness. I’ve forgotten so many things this morning, and it’s not even 9am. Let’s see, shall we? I forgot to do some of Elizabeth’s laundry last night, so she had to wear short socks this morning. Why is this a problem? Because if she wears short socks, she can’t wear her boots Thorunn bought for her that she adores. Fight ensues this morning because of this. I walked out of

I Got Nothing

Woot! My site’s not blocked at work! But, I’ve got nothing. The commute to Marietta was nothing… Elizabeth had a decent morning getting to school… Nothing. What’s up in y’all’s world today?

Looking Up

It looks as though this contract will be a week or two longer than they’d originally expected, as their site isn’t in all that great of shape. Whoever they’d got to do the site originally had no idea how to do much of anything. So more work for me, which is cool, though fixing bad code is some of the more mind-numbing work I’ve done. At least I have a real office with a nice

Road Trip

Well, I’m off to South Georgia to pick up some more stuff that we’ve left down there, and to go to a follow-up appointment with my dentist. Y’all have fun, and I’ll try to post something while I’m down there.

Happy Dance!

I’ve got a job!!! Well, at least for a few weeks, I’ve got a job… but it’s a start. At least this one is so short-term I won’t get too invested in it like I did with the other thing, just to have them completely screw me over. Now maybe I can pull myself out of this horrible funk and get back to your regularly scheduled insanity around here. I still owe y’all pictures of

Upswing

It’s amazing what a phone call can do… I’ve got an interview for a 2-3 week contract tomorrow morning. It’s small, but good money, and at least it’s some money coming in. Wish me luck!
