Unexpected turn of events for the day

same_skyI'm rewarding myself with a productive break.. writing in my journal. The excitement is unbearable.
I had today planned for catching up on everything. Tuesday night, we ordered a pizza, dismantled two large desks and carried them out to the shop (with some well-timed help from Cousin Brad) and put together both of the new desks. I even got my computer arranged.. I actually had a fifty-foot long telephone cable back there that I didn't need in the slightest. Amazing.
I worked yesterday, which was not at all fun, as I felt generally tired and run-down, plus feeling the effects of my chiro visit. I had an achy back all day, and then to make it worse, I had a headache in the afternoon. I was quite proud of myself for not taking a painkiller, actually. Working at the produce store often requires lifting and pulling on heavy boxes. I was afraid that if I made the pain go away, I would do entirely too much of said work and make it worse for today. I had a vegetable dinner planned, but by the time I left, I was no longer willing to stand on my feet any longer than necessary. My hubby took me to Pasquale's, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was unusually hungry and thirsty all day yesterday.. my mother suggested that my sugar was out of whack. There's a strong history of diabetes in my family, and while I've never displayed any signs of it, I'm built like the ones who get it. I do check it every so often, though, and I try not to eat quite as much sugar as I would otherwise. We watched Good Eats at 9, and then I willfully fell asleep on the couch. This was the dumbest thing I've done all year.. I woke up with a headache from hell. I was very nearly in tears from it. My lovely, wonderful husband massaged it almost completely away.. which I suppose confirms the notion that my headaches are mostly about my weird neck. All gone this morning, too, which I'm profoundly grateful for.
Anyway, so today the plan was to get started on all the stacks of things we removed from the other desks and find new places for it all. I have made some small progress with this. We're going to need to buy cool desk organizer stuff, though. I was wasting a bit of time this morning, thinking I had plenty of time to work on it and do some other housework. Seems that's not gonna happen, though. Dad called me at 10:30. Carolyn wrecked her car, flipping it over and stuff on the way to work this morning. She's out at the hospital and they're doing tests to see how she is.. she's at least somewhat injured, but is able to talk to them and stuff. No one knew anything else when I talked to Dad. Anyway, he was wondering if I'd come in to work for a few hours this afternoon. I told him to give me a call this afternoon or I'd call him.. I'd really like to get some of this stuff done first. Mom is leaving town, taking my aunt to a doctor's appointment in Lexington, so he'll be by himself all day, and my dad is notorious for doing a lot of errands and popping in and out. :) I have a sneaky feeling I'll be working tomorrow, too. I'm not sure how I feel about that. The money is nice, at least. I'm just trying to get some more work done here before I go down there.. hopefully I won't need to go for another hour or two, but I suspect he'll call me before I've made even close to enough progress in here!

Date: 2003-05-15 01:32 pm (UTC)As for forums or guestbooks.. I assume you want to move away from your free guestbook? It kinda depends on what your hosting company has available in terms of php/cgi etc. For guestbooks.. I've had very good luck with Nbook (php-based). I've also used the Perl CGI script at Matt's Script Archive, but it's trickier to set up. The only forum I personally have any direct experience with is PhpBB (easy to use, easy to set up, lots of plugins), but I've heard good things about Postnuke and PHPNuke.. both of those require PHP, as well. Can't really be any more specific than that without knowing what your hosting company will allow..
*hugs*
