What the hell?

Couldn’t sleep again last night. I know the reason for it, at least - - (guys, disregard) - - I’m having the absolute WORST cramps in my entire post-menstrual lifetime! I’ve never experienced them this bad — around 2am, they literally about had me in tears…and I’m not much of a tear type person. Around 3:30, after tiring of trying to sleep and find a comfortable position - I got up and rummaged around the bathroom cabinet and found some stray Vicodin that I had from a dental procedure done about a year ago - - popped two of them, and I’m finally feeling better - - but have had zero sleep. This should be a fun day at work.

So, I stayed up and redesigned the blog. What the hell? I got rid of some frivilous stuff that I really didn’t need/use/want, anymore. I got rid of the site skinning feature and a few buttons and stuff. Just tried to tone it down a bit and go with a more minimalist approach to the thing.

Will I keep it?

Do I ever?

    I like the new look - but I think we sometimes get bogged down & overwhelmed with too much on the ole template.

    Since the last
    …time I posted I’ve restyled my site including a picture I took a few years ago. Throwing that pic up was somewhat of an afterthought. But it does capture the irony of the site name…or the calm before the storm…maybe what lies beneath? Ha.
