The last few days have not been great. Tonight I weighed in at 130 pounds even, but I've been dealing with an annoying lethargy and a tremor in my left ear for the last few days. It has been coming and going but lately its been coming more often.

I'm gearing up to kick some house-cleaning ass tomorrow. I'm hoping that I have the stamina and the concentration necessary to do it. While I can't focus on the yard until I get my lawn mower blade back, I can work on the rest of the rooms in the house.

I'm going to do what I can with sheer brute force tomorrow on cleaning and removing the clutter from common spaces. At the end of that I will take stock of what I've done and what systems (if any) I need to call on to do it right.

Between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning a system upgrade put a version of PHP5 in place with very aggressive error reporting turned on. Basically every line that the new stricter settings didn't consider up to par spewed out an error notice about how crappy my code was.

Thursday morning thanks to quick notice from Teresa, I fixed most of the public-facing issues as quickly as I could before work. After that I haven't had the time (or desire) to repair the page that I use to post. Not only are the errors silly, but the code itself is more than a little embarrassing.

I finally got around to it this evening but I'm not likely to backfill the last two days.

Summary: The last two days were fun, and involved good times, good company, good conversation, and good food. I did a lot of travel and a lot of sleeping. A little unexpected social drama took me by surprise, but only because I'm clueless and out of practice. The kitten continued to be adorable. Life is still a little confusing, but in a new and interesting sort of way.
