I missed pixellaneous while it was down… I’m sooo glad the server is alive again. I guess I just need to rant sometimes, and this happens to be a pretty handy venue.

Um, so, I’m having a baby in plus-or-minus five weeks. OH MY GOD. It occurs to me that I am quite unprepared, and I’m feeling a little panicky. It is all such a huge unknown, and the biggest thing that I’ve ever undertaken. I get the feeling that there is no preparing for the changes that are about to cause a giant shift in my perception of life, the universe, and everything. I know that everything will be fine in the end, and truthfully, I think I’ll feel a LOT better once past the whole birthing-of-the-child thing. I’m a little anxious about that.

This baby is very wiggly. I think he’s starting to get cramped, and is trying to make more room in there… or at least that’s what it feels like. He also gets hiccups 2 or 3 times every day, which is kind of funny! My energy level has been steadily decreasing, and I’m short of breath a lot… it seems like the most mundane of activities will make my heart start beating much too hard, and I’m having to rest a lot more. Sleeping isn’t quite as blissful as it used to be– it’s just so hard to get comfortable. Hopefully we’ll go buy a recliner soon, and I can try sleeping in that.

I think we’re going to go with Kaelon Max Davis for the baby’s name. Too many people couldn’t figure out how to prounounce `Caelon,` and we didn’t want to curse the child with that burden. Maybe Kalen looks better than Kaelon. Or maybe Kaelen. Hmm. Help! It’s a big job to name a person, especially when you don’t even know them yet. We’ll still call him Max, most likely, although I’ve thought of him as Kaelon a few times recently. I guess we’ll find out when he gets here! Who knows…we could end up with a Zoe instead.

I’m avoiding work. I’m especially tired today– getting ready for work exhausted me, and I haven’t recovered yet. My mind is just not here today. It’s on a field trip. I forged my parents’ signatures on the permission slip. >:)

Last week was a really bad week. Our digital camera got stolen, the hard drive in the server died, my portable cd player died, work was too busy, etc. This week is already off to a better start, though– I discovered that a few months ago I forgot to add an entire paycheck into my checkbook register, so I have a LOT more money than I thought I did. I was beginning to wonder if I was sleep-shopping. RIGHT– I’d at least have several new pairs of shoes to show for that!

Applesaucy has a new layout… looks nice. I like the new flash intro… esp that ‘skip intro’ button… after you’ve seen it 50 times, you just wanna get past it to the meaty innards. I’m going to start working on Mr. Monkey’s loopysoft layout again… I had a new and improved idea that is perhaps more `cryptic,` per his request. After that, webgravy is my next victim. It’s a much bigger job, as it needs content as well as a new design. I will have to see if the webgravy vision has changed, or if it is still to be the bubbling vat of insanity that it started out to be. I would love to revamp realjosh– and even have a partial layout done– but Josh is pretty territorial, and I don’t think he’ll let me play with his baby. Speaking of, I’d like to get my hands on omnitech, too… ah, well. I need to purchase a new domain of my own for… well… all of the other stuff that I don’t want to put here. Yeah. Ok, I really don’t have a good reason. Does ‘just because I can’ count?

This is a monster post. I need to quit typing and get back to work. I guess maybe this is just last week’s buildup since I didn’t get to post anything at all. Or maybe I just don’t want to work today.
