The past week has been a little more stressful than normal:
- This time of year the work load is a little heavier and more people jumping ship
- Jonathon’s blood level was hitting both extremes w/his medication (too high/too low)
- Ants invaded my castle
- Feeling all kinda lonely
That pretty much was it. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but it really shorted me out. I took what energy I had and placed it carefully in all areas.
I lacked the motivation to write as I was focusing on doing a site redesign for Arsgeek. In order to that I had to refamiliarize myself with the style sheets of WP. Sounds simple enough? Not at all. I tried to recreate my site exactly through the style sheets (6 different pages making up one page that you see) and there was always something tiny that threw me off. I figured by recreating my site via all the pages, I’d have a better understanding of what communicates to what and where… and the best placement for optimization for forms and drop down menus,
Everything looked great on my machine and I was stoked! I could finally go ahead with my ideas!! I get to work and felt the sting of disappointment when I opened the test page up here and it was all out of sorts.
Back to the drawing board.
As for Jonathon, it was a constant trip to the lab to get his medication adjusted. The poor boy kept requesting for me to have my blood taken so they can give it to him as he was in fear of running out- no matter how much I explained it to him. “But Ashley saved blood for me when I had surgery!!” (he had a few blood transfusions and felt relief watching the bag of blood enter his veins- he thought it was his and they were giving it back per Ash’s demand)
I received a call earlier this week from the doctor stating he’s balanced! WOO HOO!!! He had been at dangerous levels of both extremes in a short period of time. It wasn’t making sense.
With the ant invasion… these aren’t the little piss/sugar ants in which you know WHY they are invading your home (a drop of juice on the counter or what not), these are big brown ants that are in all rooms… for whatever reason.
Yesterday I finally got a hold of some spray and killed those suckers. Last night was the first night in a week I didn’t see ANY. It was starting to get scary- after I put Jonathon to bed I’d hear him scream. He’s unable to move, so he had to lay and watch them crawl up on his bed and onto his body- helpless. Ugh, a total nightmare come true.
I sprayed the hell out of his room and on the legs of the bed.
I don’t know WHY they invaded- but hopefully they’re gone now.
As for work… ugh. BIG long jobs, dead lines, errors… having to call the offshore help desk that takes forever- while they were scratching their heads even after I suggested a resolution to the issue… I went ahead and did it anyway as it made logical sense to me. They were still scratching their heads… and in the meanwhile my manual fix worked, saved the day and 24 hours later they ping me to let me know they were still trying to figure it out.
IT GUY: I had asked the tech team to look into the issue but they have not come back to me on this
Me: Right- and I could not wait for an entire team of people to look into something that was obvious and had a quick fix, so I wound up doing it on my own hoping it’d work… and it did.
I did the needful.
Sooo… here I am back on track with it all. I’m HOPING I can churn out some decent articles for AG tonight as I won’t look into site redesign until the weekend (I don’t want to frustrate myself during the week).
Ants are gone, life is back on track and now I can see about letting some creativity out.
Good luck to ME!
