what I feared has come to pass

[cornerofmadness]

This morning I cut my toe nails and painted them and got a bit on the skin. I went to get the polish remover and saw blood on the cotton ball. Something (probably Soul reaching out to grab me like he does) cut my big toe, the one I can't feel, and sure enough the toe was sliced open. I had to remove a flap of skin. It's not deep but the point is, I couldn't feel the wound. It's all cleaned, antibiotic ointment covered and bandaged, still not my point. I'm a little depressed about it all.(and oh, NOW it's throbbing nicely thank you)

To top it off, my novella is missing from my royalty summary for the quarter (yes, they're looking into it but gah)

And then I found out the meat I put away, I used half prior then froze it to keep, was bad. so much for dinner. I guess the freezer was out of power in that storm longer than I knew.

And my secretary's mom and sister are selling their houses, both ones I would like in areas I find livable but I can't afford either of them. Why are they moving? Sis has multiple medical problems and is moving closer to Cincinatti and better health care but also she is having trouble living alone because she lost both legs to diabetes.

BUT it's not all doom and gloom. I met the new computer science prof. We have a big new CS degree that I've mentioned. She's a quirky little thing and it looks like she's going to be a lot of fun. Yes occasionally we fight but on the whole, the faculty at this school is great. we're more like friends.

So since state of mind is proven to influence healing, tell me something good or funny.

Also has anyone tried the blog associated with wordpress. It's probably the easiest thing for me to deal with when starting up my non-erotica webpage.


ETA - I also think I accidentally shredded everything i wrote in the last three days. WAH (unless it's on my desk at work, I think it was attached to something i gave to the secretary to shred. I didn't realize it wasn't in the folder i thought it was)

I moved my entire LJ and comments over to Wordpress in order to start a writer's blog for my upcoming website. I didn't feel comfortable linking the website to my personal LJ.

I chose it over Blogger because it allowed transfers from Livejournal, Blogger didn't seem to, at least not easily. Of course, I then had to go through and delete all the personal entries I didn't want part of the writer's blog, but I'm just way OCD.

Now I cross post manually from LJ to Wordpress when I do an entry I think would be interesting for a writer's blog.

Only part of Wordpress I don't like so far is the built-in visitor's stats don't tell you much. Otherwise, jeez, you could build an entire author platform website out of that place if you worked at it.

thank you. that's good to know. I know a lot of the author's I've talked to in blog hops have blogger and i DO find it's hard to comment. the LJ comment function doesn't work (or at least not all the time) and if they don't have it totally open you can't comment.

I would definitely have this blog separate from my personal one 100%. I don't plan on transferring any posts so that's not an issue.. It'll be more like Jana's something I play with from time to time. It's the ability to craft some kind of webpage frmo word press that I'm most interested in since I need something very basic that I can do myself. I've had very bad luck relying on others to put up content in the past
