(no subject)
Took yesterday off when I woke up groggy as hell (after going to bed early and getting 9 hours of sleep instead of my usual 6) and still congested up to my eyeballs. Called in, gave the boss my keys (we're carpooling and this week is use my car because his truck is getting fixed), took cold meds and went back to evict Xena kitty from my pillow so I could go back to sleep. Slept another 4-5 hours like a dead thing and woke up feeling more reasonably human by noon.
And then, because I'm me, I sat down to do one thing to our little publishing press website (there was a new book to put up) and ended up spending from 1pm to 1am installing google fonts onto wordpress, downloading 4 new wordpress plugins, redesigning the page template, beating my head against javascript and php and why they don't work well together, and then touching Every Single Book Page on the entire site. Thankfully, our back catalog is only 27 books, but yeah. I redid the whole site from the ground up. As my dragon pointed out, I probably worked more and harder than I would have if I'd just gone to work. =P Oh hai, the self employed freelancer life! XD
(But hey, it's pretty now, so I'm pleased.)
I'm also pleased that I could more-or-less read the javascript and php scripts I was messing with. Not enough to write them myself, but enough that I could sit down and pick them apart line by line and confidently know what to change and what I didn't need for the purpose I was using them for. I'd really LIKE to be at the point where I could write them myself, but I'll take what I can get when I haven't had a chance to really concentrate on any of my at-your-own-speed programming classes lately.
