Yesterday was a fucking disaster. I tend to have full days where only bad things happen. I’m good at that, I guess.

I went to the store to get a scale and some exercise pants and I ended up getting Michael a new bike. It was just so cool, I had to get it for him. Not to mention, the price was $35. Well, the price was actually $80. I decided $80 would be my max price before he said it, so I went ahead and got it. I spent about 20 minutes trying to fit it into my back seat. When I got home it took about 2 minutes to get out. I slammed my car door shut and it bounced back open. WTH? So I tried closing it again, it wouldn’t close. The intense fear set in..

I called over my neighbor, who really acted like I was bothering him, and he looked at it. Apparently the child locks were down (I probably hit it with the bike) and it couldn’t shut. He moved that little thing and the door shut. I don’t know if I’ve ever thanked anyone as much as I thanked him in that 30 seconds. 

So then I was leaving to get Corey from spanish class and I stopped to use the bathroom on my way out the door. When I got outside and shut the door (locked) I realized I left my keys on the bathroom sink. I broke out my license and started trying to pop the door open,  no luck. I called Jay and asked him how to do it, but he was no help. Eventually I talked him into leaving work and picking up Corey. I called the school and told them we’d be late, the lady gave me such an attitude and kept cutting me off mid sentence. After this I got a little hysterical and stuck my license in the door and started pulling and pushing on the door knob. It popped open! I got my keys, ran to the car, and went to get Corey because I was closer than Jay was.

I felt really bad because I told Corey I’d be at the front (I tried to leave 30 mins early) and I wasn’t. So I decided to park and walk up and pick him up. He was happy. Jay was mad though, apparently they were pissed when he had to leave work early. Oh well, it’s not like he’ll be working with those people any more after Friday.

Tomorrow night I have to take Jay to pick up his patrol car. He’s so excited.

I’m beginning to think that there’s no standard. I ordered a script from Stock Scripts (they don’t deserve a link) and it wasn’t working. I put in a ticket and they were no help, other than telling me that the 500 error I was getting was on every page. That told me it was caused by the .htaccess file, which I deleted. The script now works, but I can’t access any of the admin pages. I’m thinking it probably needed whaever was in that .htaccess file? Anyway, so they’re trying to help me and finally someone comes up and tells me it’s $20 for support. For a $1.95 script.. Now I know where they make their money. He tells me I was being rude to the support (I was fucking pissed this thing wasn’t working and I was wasting all this time trying to make it work) and they went out of their way to help. Well.. I considered that so I read it and really.. I don’t think anything I said was rude. As a matter of fact, here’s the entire ticket..

(more…)

I did Yoga yesterday morning before I took Corey to school. I planned to do it every morning, until this morning. This morning I woke up in so much pain. I’ll definitely need to get used to it before I can do it daily. Wow. And I couldn’t run up and down the stairs like I planned today (I have a whole routine I’m working on) because they were wet. 

I’ve been working on getting my house in good shape. Keeping a house clean is really hard when you have so many forces working against you. Carmen decided the carpet was her potty, so I had someone come clean the carpets today. It was expensive, but well worth it. My husband’s aunt is bringing some dog shampoo because I ran out and she smells. I can’t go get it myself because I’m waiting for the plumbers to return.

I talked to the lady we rent from yesterday and told her about all my problems. She sent out a plumber today to help me with the toilets. All 3 stopped working. They’re coming back shortly to replace all three. Yay! I get to sit on pretty new toilets.

The house is almost 100% clean. Like a cleaning service would do. I’ve been working so hard.

WordPress just released a new version. It’s a security update. I can’t wait until it’s in Fantastico so I can update it and see if they fixed the problem with the authors. When I had a subscriber and I’d make an entry it would say the entry was owned by the subscriber and not even let me choose my own name. Once that bug is fixed I can start using my private entries.

Jay’s mom asked me to make a website for her husband. He started his own local business and he wanted a website to put on the business cards. I’m supposed to be starting the design today because he has an ad in the paper that starts next week. Shouldn’t be too hard, it’s just 2 pages. The only difficulty I’m going to have is getting a video from the DVD onto the website. Not sure how I plan to do that, yet.

Hey, vote for me in The Rumbles, please?
