The Good and the Bad

The good is starting, appropriately enough, as of January 1, I can honestly say I feel 100% healed. Tuesday, the staples and drain comes out and I can't imagine the doctor not allowing me to return to work on Wednesday. I've been ready since Sunday, have my black bag packed, thinking about packing lunches - and I'm very excited to return to work. Mostly, it will be nice financially and socially!

The ugly is that my blog has been unavailable since Sunday. If you are reading this, you know it's been fixed. I decided to keep posting entries anyway. It appears as a page of html to Firefox users and a blue screen to IE users. Saturday afternoon I changed one thing in my Journals I Read section of the sidebar - no problem. I went back to change another thing and that section of my template was missing, yet it looked okay published on the screen. (Unless it was reading the screen from my cache and not the live screen. Am I using the right words?) I read all the help screens I could find, then emailed their support desk. I did everything suggested on their auto response with no change, so I emailed them back for individual help. As of this writing, I'm still waiting for a response, but being a holiday and all, I probably won't hear for a couple of days yet. I'm trying to keep things in perspective. This is only a silly blog, forcryingoutloud! However I miss it and it's stressing me out!!

Like I said, if you are reading this, however, you know it's been fixed and all is right in my world again.

I have joined two new (to me) Yahoo Groups recently:

Fold It. This group was created to discuss Karen Thomas' work in her new DVD and from her appearances on the Carol Duvall show. I posted a picture of the photo pocket in yesterday's entry. I love her work.

Die Cuts All. I just joined this one today, membership being approved as we speak - but it's all about die cuts, of course.


I finished Mom's blue and green paper quilt. Again, I'm trying to use up some frames I had on hand. I think in both this one and purple & teal one I posted yesterday that I made for Gretchen, the colors of the quilt co-ordinate better with the frame in real life than they do in these photos. I can't wait to make more!
