Ok, my Greymatter template is finished, and the page is up - not quite perfect yet - but at least I know what I'm doing. This is going to be my last entry here, and sometime next month, it will disappear permanently. I'll download all the files and put them up at mareisse.com.

So, go to and check out the new log - same name - new server!

:-) I got Greymatter working last night - now I'm about to embark on the world of learning how their templates work! :-) I am going to have to close Invisibilities before I move - for the basic reason that this space isn't going to be up once my DSL service goes away. I know I could probably move it over to mareisse.com - and maybe I will - I am in love with this layout afterall! But I'm doing something else for my greymatter stuff - if I find I don't like it - I'm betting I can use this layout there later...I'll let readers know what the new address is when I get it all working - wait! What am I saying - it's eventually going to be at http://www.mareisse.com or at http://www.mareisse.com/weblog.htm - I just haven't figured out which yet...I need to get more template-profiecient!

I didn't update my template this weekend. I didn't do much of anything this weekend, besides being a big lump! I just have no motivation - not even for packing. That's gone as well - it's like - I have SO much stuff, and I have no idea if it's all going to fit in my apartment. Maybe I'll just move what I have packed now, and then see how much room is left - because I have yet to pack up the bedrooms and bathrooms, never mind the kitchen stuff that's in use.

If only I wasn't so tired! I can't believe how exhausted I am, it's just nuts! I wonder if in this case if it's TOO much rest, and I'm in this cycle where I get too much sleep, then just want to sleep more and more...I guess eventually I'll just sleep all the time...but you know...right at this moment, that sounds really nice!

I'm thinking I should close Invisibilities...it's not like anyone reads it anyway! Maybe what I'll do is yank everything down from mareisse.com and start over. Not to mention abadesigns. And then just have a weblog at the front page of mareisse.com - it's the only thing I do on a regular basis anymore...pretty pathetic, huh? I wonder if it's depression, or something else that has me in such a funk right now.

Sorry this is so depressing, but I am writing it from a slightly altered state, whatever you could call this exhaustion. I'm so tempted to blow off the rest of the day. What would I do? Maybe go for a long walk. Get the blood flowing again. One good thing about the apartment - I won't be living in the bedroom, where the most comfortable place to me is the bed, which makes it so easy to be seditary.

Reminder to self...look for and find car adapter for laptop - we are going to need that when we go down to Maryland this weekend!

Well...I found out what happened to my template - it's a blogger thing! I NEED to learn Greymatter...but probably not until after the move...in the meantime? I'll just have to update the template the old fashioned way - making my changes in Dreamweaver and copying the whole thing over...

In other news, I've finished the Mists of Avalon. Yes...I really did read the whole blinking thing in 2 days. I did nothing at work, and stayed up late, and didn't even turn on the computer last night - because of that book! It was SO good, and I'm even debating it in my mind - who was the baddy, and who was the victim of circumstance, and scheming...very very very very good, I recommend it to anyone who likes a good book, is interested in Arthur, or even the Druids and the Old Religions...

Boy, you know, I don't know what happened yesterday - I update my template and don't touch any of the javascript, and now my jump menu doesn't work. GRRRRRR Not to mention yesterday's post didn't show up, but the change to the book I'm reading did. I have no clue what's going on - what a complete pain! Grrr now I know what I'll be spending part of my precious weekend on!

No moving talk today. Right now, I'm just exhausted, and I'm not even sure why. I've been reading all afternoon, and am tearing through a book that has taken other a year to read! I'm a bit dismayed, I was hoping it would take longer to read. What book is it? The Mists of Avalon, which I'm finding incredible. I read it years ago, but left it at my brother's and never got it back. I read the prequel as well - and I'm going to have to find the third book - I should start on that right now....

I also need to learn Power Point, and do it in the next month - I'm going to have to look for a quick reference book at a bookstore, though that will probably cost more than I should spend right now. Sigh...

Not really saying much of anything today - I just can't believe how exhausted I am...
