Ok, I know, homeschool parents don't exactly get time off for sick days, but I'm trying my best! I have taken up an almost permanent position in the recliner with my laptop. I have my pillows, blankets, pets and assorted cold remedies surrounding me.
What's a girl to do when she's afraid to sleep and leave her children to their own devices, but can't get vertical without her sinus contents sloshing around in her head and making her feel like the Earth is seriously listing to the left...then to the right...then to the left?
Well, if you're me, you do something on the computer, of course! My webpage has been in need of a revamp for some time now so I decided this was a good time to tackle it. My complete lack of good judgment when I'm ill is obvious here. I'm in zombie mode and I decide to take on a project that requires me to think?!?
Fortunately, after much much much trial and error, I did manage to get it done. It probably only took me 8 times as long as it would have if I'd have waited until I was healthy. It's not completely different, but should work better for some future plans I have for the site. I converted it from HTML only to CSS-driven - which was a huge pain since a program I used before added extraneous html tags to EVERYTHING. So I've spent the last 2-3 days trying to clean all of that up and change the design for my needs by hand-coding it.
At least I know my brain is still functioning on some level. I may not be able to remember what I did 5 minutes ago, but I can code webpages. Yay me.
If anybody would like to check out the new look - or maybe see the site for the first time, if you haven't already - it can be found here: Homegrown Hearts.
If anybody has suggestions of what else I can do from the recliner to remain sane, please let me know! It's scary to consider what I might come up with on my own in my present state.
