the_rckJust got an e-mail from my mother saying that she and my sister will be arriving Sunday evening to work on our bathroom renovations. This is both good and bad. It's good because the work really needs to be done; I'd begun to fear that the visit and assistance were purely mythical. It's bad because it means more people in the house putting my on my best behavior. They'll both claim that there's no need for it, but... It doesn't much matter who's visiting when I consider the need to put on clothes before leaving the bedroom to get myself breakfast (and my recent realization that my bathrobe simply doesn't fit anymore doesn't help).
I'm also only just starting to get myself back into writing again, and this visit will mean the loss of my writing space for a while. Pity. I was hoping to get the draft of part 9 completed soon. I'd rather not do more rewriting yet since I can't seem to do both writing and rewriting on the same day. I want to space out the postings to my website so that people don't get an exaggerated notion of how fast I write, and I have trouble convincing myself not to post once a section's done.
We have resolved the problem of everybody else not being able to see our websites. We still don't know exactly what caused it, but Scott's theory is that it was some portion of our security setup since we could still see the sites from machines on our network but nobody else could access anything. Scott rebooted everything, and people can now see the sites. I'm just a bit frustrated by this since it's a problem we can't spot if it happens again. We can only wait for someone else to try to find the site, fail and then tell us that it happened.
At the current moment, I'm waiting rather impatiently for a call from my mother-in-law. We're going fabric shopping again. She wants to make me some maternity clothes, and we need to find some cloth that will work. We're going out to lunch, probably at Bob Evans because the location works and we can both tolerate the food, and then to JoAnn's.
I'm at the difficult point of wanting to eat lunch now but knowing that I should wait till she comes. I've been trying to come up with something small enough not to leave me full an hour from now but enough to satisfy the current need. Sadly, nothing really comes to mind except the fact that we need to go grocery shopping.
That's going to end up being a little difficult this weekend. The heightened security alert with its recommended purchases has cranked up demand for bottled water. Scott's factory will be doing full production all weekend, so he'll be working both Saturday and Sunday, no time off this week at all. This also means that I'll be alone dealing with the cleanup required for welcoming guests. Sigh... At least most of the guest space should still be clean from the last visitors.

Date: 2003-02-15 10:32 am (UTC)And I will try to get on with the writing. I just need to get a decent night's sleep so that I can manage it. I wouldn't still be up right now except that nobody's let me know that they've gotten my messages...
