Is there anyone besides me who isn’t Web-design/developer-inclined and gets frustrated every time WP decides to upgrade? Why can’t they just wait until one version is secure before upgrading? It doesn’t even give the theme designers or plugin developers a chance to update their own work to be compatible with the “latest and greatest” version. So unless the end user is Web-design/developer-inclined, or hasn’t started a blog yet, or is just switching over from a different platform, they — WE! — are screwed!

Because that plugin no longer exists/works, or whatever. I am using WP 2.1.3, I think. They upgrade so fast you can’t even keep track anymore. Does anyone else agree that they should make sure one version is completely bug-free before they work on a newer version? Or am I in the minority here? It isn’t that I don’t like change; I like change if I know it works!
Anyway, there’s been a ton of hockey going on lately. Aside from the summer league, I got some Tigers together to play in the Puck Cancer Cup. We played four games in that tournament, and I’m still trying to decide if I should post four separate posts or just one long one. I mean, there are other things going on in my life, such as the fact that my Internet is down!
For the past few days they kept saying it was a power outage. Now they’re sending a tech over tomorrow between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Brian’s been the one dealing with this entire fiasco, so he’ll stay home ’til the — I’m assuming — guy shows up and fixes the damn thing. We’ve actually been discussing getting a land line, and lately Comcast has been airing these “enlightenment” commercials about their digital land lines that help the Lovie & (insert his wife’s name here) Smith Foundation for who knows what? Well, I’m not exactly enlightened with their Internet service.
So there it is.

First of all, thanks to everyone’s concern for Basil. I picked him up from the vet last evening. He’s had tummy trouble before, but it’s been years, and he was much younger then, so obviously there was more concern this time around. The vet said the X-rays showed that his small intestines look a little thick, which could indicate lymphoma but he doesn’t show any of those symptoms, thankfully. She sent us home with an anti-nausea medication called Metoclopramide, Pepcid AC, and Hill’s Prescription i/d, all of which he only has to consume for a few days.
He was pretty listless when I brought him to the vet in the morning, but by the afternoon he was sitting in the front of his cage eating baby food and drinking water. His appetite seems to be back to normal, though he still seems a little weary. Needless to say, his dental for today has been canceled!
The cable guys arrived at 1:15, which was impressive, considering we were told they’d be here between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. I have Internet at home again — yay!!!!!!
Pink Floyd, my Pink team, made it to the playoffs. We’re still in third place and will be up against the Sweet Potatas, who are currently in second. I’ve only played against them once (Week 4: The Sweet Potatas vs. the Turtles), and they have some really strong players. Also, no subs are allowed in the playoffs and finals. So, game on tonight!
I am worried sick about Basil. He began having diarrhea and started vomiting yesterday. His appetite seemed OK, but this morning he vomited quite a bit — and it wasn’t scarf and barf — and I couldn’t find him anywhere. When I did, he seemed pretty listless.
He’s supposed to have a dental tomorrow, but Angelo will have it instead. They both just had their check-ups this past Saturday and both need dentals, but with Basil being in this condition, we’ll just have to wait even though he has the more severe dental problems. Obviously, they don’t want to put him under anesthesia while he’s sick. He even lost some weight since Saturday!
It doesn’t help that my therapist just canceled on me today because she isn’t feeling well, but that’s life. Brian’s working on a huge proposal at work and probably won’t be home ’til midnight. AND I have no Internet at home. We haven’t for a few days, actually, and Comcast can’t come over ’til tomorrow afternoon. I wanted to post about last week’s game, but I left the stupid stats at home, and I’m at a coffee shop.
Plus I just had ECT on Monday and although it took me most of the day yesterday to recover from the anesthesia, I feel better today — just anxious and worried.
We have our creative writing class tonight and I totally forgot that I’m supposed to distribute my piece. I don’t even have one to distribute! Brian can’t go, so I don’t know if I will or not. It all depends on when I can pick up Basil, or if he’ll have to stay overnight.
I’m exhausted, possibly from dehydration. Saw the PCP and it isn’t the anemia. He doesn’t think I’m getting enough carbs, considering my activity level, so for a week I get to eat one Pop-Tart a day and white rice and pasta! Yay! He also said that stress and tension can add to my exhaustion. He put me on a new Pill called Yasmin that supposedly has fewer PMS side effects, so hopefully that’ll take care of my fibroid worries.
I passed my butt tests with flying colors (heehee). The problem is a loose involuntary sphincter muscle that neither surgery nor physical therapy can cure. One option, which I’m going in for on Tuesday, is to inject (and it better be with a syringe, not a needle) some medication up my butt that’ll create some scar tissue to make the muscle tighter. Don’t ask me how. I just want the fucking thing fixed already.
I’m also playing hockey once or twice a week now, and Brian and I have started a weekly Creative Writing/Beginning Fiction class. Who knew writing would take up so much of my time? 
The downside is that all of these things are on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, all in a pretty little exhausting row.
Regardless, I’ve just felt very withdrawn lately and once again, may have to take a short break from the blog world for a bit. Brian may keep you all updated on my progress. I’m one tired gal.

How fucking annoying. Not all of my uploads from my old host/server actually transferred to my new host/server. So now I have to re-upload shit and so there are missing images and stuff in some posts. Others have weird characters, like apostrophes turning into something other than apostrophes. Oh, and since the More Smilies 2.1 plugin is all fucked up, I have to go and change all of those cool smilies from that frickin’ Kopete set! And that one was so cool! Good thing I found them somewhere and saved the images. I have no idea how I’d implement them into my comments or post section, though. I am not a happy camper.
