Up and Down

June 19th, 2009

Today was looking like a great day for most of it. I didn’t hurt myself in yoga class (any worse than I already am). I was making progress on the website I am building. (I seriously don’t know how to start from a blank page, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do and I ain’t afraid of adventure.)

In fact, I was so wrapped up in it that today flew by. I kept telling myself I’ll take a break…after I fix that alignment…after I figure out how to get that element to show up in the correct spot…after I fix all the text colors, the link colors, etc. ad infinitum.

If lunch hadn’t already been in a bowl in the fridge, I think I’d've missed that today, too.

I’d still be nose-deep in html if it weren’t for the file mysteriously disappearing. Yeah. Like, as I was using it, POOF! File not found.

WTF?

I’m learning so much, and I was finally feeling like I was getting somewhere. I’ve pulled out half of my hair and there’s a keyboard-shaped dent in my forehead, but I was really getting somewhere. I can’t say that I’d actually figured anything out because that would imply that I kinda learned exactly what it was that I was doing rather than a whole lot of trial and error that was more and more based on educated guesses.

I found a backed-up file that’s very basic, but might be better than nothing. I haven’t even opened it yet. I’m too terrified. I don’t think I really wanna end my Friday on this note. I was almost ending it with 85% of a website done. Almost…

Better luck next time? Good golly I hope so! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone…or at least less stressful than mine’s gonna be!
