Another hiccup in my hosting.

Switching to a new host. The one I was with before sucked, but I stuck with them as they had been giving me free hosting for 2 or 3 years. Not for lack of me trying to pay, mind you. Not my fault if they stop responding to all forms of contact. Anyway, I hope to have it all sorted out soon.

Finished!

Well, mostly. There's a minor tweak or two, but they're negligable and I may never get around to them. Chances are no one will ever notice. Now, if I can just manage regular updates... I don't hold out much hope, but stranger things have been known to happen. At least I'm happy with the way it looks, as it turned out just the way I wanted it to. That's rare enough.

In other news, my son is off visiting his father for three weeks. Today marked the end of week 1. I miss my little guy a lot. A whooooooooooole lot. I've been busying myself with friends, but I just want my son home with me again. He's a pretty rad little guy.

Oops.

I was innocently fussing with some settings, and a slip of the finger published them. I was going to change things a bit anyway, as I'd never quite had things here the way I liked - it just means things will be unsightly for a while. As usual. In other news, I have rediscovered Tang.

Starting over - Sorta.

I am liking these flowers. I think I will stick with this for a while - mainly because I am sure my motivation to change things around will fade rapidly. I'll tweak stuff here and there, I'm sure, but I am generally liking this a lot, so get used to it.

So, for those of you who may not have heard... I recently separated from my husband of 9 years. It was an incredibly difficult thing to do. 9 years is a hell of a long time. 12, if you count dating. Pretty much my entire adult life, when I think about it. Walking away from all that history was huge for me. As a person who has made her way through life avoiding confrontation whenever possible, I am still stunned that I opened my mouth and said the words. It's been hard. I have struggled, and I have been lonely and afraid and certain that everything was going to crumble around me, but so far I am still standing. I'm happy. I know that I made the right choice for me. All of the fear and uncertainty is worth it if I can wake up in the morning with a smile on my face, isn't it? I think so.

The blog will probably take a turn in this direction, me detailing the ups and downs of working and cooking and parenting and living alone for the first time in my life. It's all new ground, but I am sure I can manage. If I can get this far, I think I can handle anything.

Volia!

I think this is going to be the final product. It suits my tastes just fine. I'll get around to updating this sucker with a real post in the next day or two - right now I have to head down the hall and burn some calories.

Renovations

Alright, things will probably be messy around here for a while... it's high time I changed the look of things around here. Please pardon the dust.
