Wow...
Today was pretty damn good. I spent all morning and part of the afternoon on the phone with friends and family. My nephew came over after school, and we spent four hours catching up. This is his first year of high school; me, being the old hen that I am, was amazed to see him sporting a freaking mustache. I remember changing his damn diapers, for goodness sake. He's quite the "little Tig" (though he is several inches taller than I am) -- metal all the way. >:> I am so proud.... >:'> He plays a mean guitar. I'd swear he is like my kid. Yeah, heaven help him, I know. ;)
I needed all this goodness after Sunday. I was sicker than a damn dog, fighting edema and dehydration all at the same time. I just knew today was going to suck when I got up this morning. I like being surprised like this once in a while. It keeps me sane.
Sis will take me to Pain Doc's appointment on Thursday, which means I'll have to cough up money for gas and lunch. I'm hoping that loan will be mine by then. ;) It should be here by tomorrow, but I do know never to count money until it reaches my desperate fingers.
I've made the decision that after December I will either be back in school or I'm getting a part-time job, unless other doctors make a final positive diagnosis on my condition that states that I am definitely disabled. I do want a job flexible enough where I can leave town for a few days if need be. I wish I could work 4-10's like I used to do. I don't think, though, that I could possibly work that long. Hell, sitting for four hours behind the OC makes my legs swell. I'm too worried about my dad to take on a full-time job even if I could. I want nothing impeding Ren Fest or the holidays. I can be poor for a few more months. Hell, it's not like I am not used to it by now. :}
I am thinking about selling my white and burgundy velvet (and velvet lined) white robe. It's not the color combination I really wanted, even though I think the robe itself is very pretty. I spent a lot of time on it, but I could use a little extra cash. I have a few birthdays coming up, not to mention holidays and such. The only thing is, only a person about my height (five foot tall) could wear it. The size of the robe itself is a little large on me, so I think it's about a size eight. Hey, remember -- I'm five feet tall. A size eight of any thing makes me disappear (or in some cases, it'll leave me standing there, nekked!) I dunno: I really, really love the damn thing. :\
Speaking of costumes, I accessed my really, really old web sites last night. We're talking sites circa 1998-1999; and for the most part, they were pretty damn snazzy. Shit; I've forgotten so many programming languages and design rules... I felt like I was looking at someone else's work. And the sites were fun to read. I keep thinking that the "authoritative" web sites were all I ever wrote. Hell, I used to do book reviews, site reviews, recipe columns, and humor columns, too. At one time, they were all just as much about *me* as they were about *magick and demonolatry*. They reached a diverse crowd back in those days. It made me feel better about the sites I am working on now.
I must say, the Tigrah site is looking pretty sweet. :) I have my navigation figured out and the entire theme of the site all in order. The rest of the work is just finishing up graphics I have, and uploading and finishing the more recent graphics that I took over the weekend of my current projects. I won't say when I'll have it up, since it seems to bite me on the ass every time I promise a date. I'm just working on it; I know some pages will definitely go up this week, at least enough so I can show my LJ friends just what Tig's done over the past few months. :>
