Just a quickie status...heading out of the house today to spend a day with my sister. I think it will be nice to get out and not think about worries for once. She's supposed to be over any time now, so consider me "away" until this evening. I'll try to get on and get to some of the posts. Didn't really have time yesterday afterall (too many errands and things to get done). Still have a HORRIBLE backlog of email to get through as well, so please bear with me. Think I'd have more time not working, but there's so many things that need doing now that I'm available during business hours to do them...ugh....

Anyway, I'll be back later tonight.

First, yes the board has been painfully slow. Things however, should pick up:

QUOTE: After pulling our hair out for days (yes, we are all bald now here at ezboard), we finally found the problem related to the performance issues on pubs 1-30.
Basically, there were several things that were causing problems. Network configuration errors as well as hardware errors (some new pubs had bad memory and/or bad network cards) made effort extremely difficult to resolve, but we now are fairly confident we have resolved these issues.
Currently, we are restarting several pubs (1-30). They will be slow for a few hours, but then should resume normal speeds.
Thanks for hanging in there while we resolved this problem.
BTW - Geocities images are not working b/c Geocities has disallowed their use outside of Geocities web sites. It is not because of ezboard. They may show up occasionally due to your browser cache...

That out of the way, perhaps sometime tonight I can get the board to load (ever!) and answer some of the posts. All day, however, it's been pretty much dead in the water for me.

On the personal side of things, I went and got a dental cleaning today. Good news is, they said I had amazinly healthy gums-textbook in their perfection. Bad news is, I have a cavity. Ugh. Have to go get it filled Tuesday. It is only the second cavity I've ever had (the last being when I was 8 or 9) so that's not too bad. (It didn't hurt or anything-didn't even know I had it!) It was nice to hear that something was good from a medical professional instead of the normal confused/concerned/troubled reports I normally get. At least my damn teeth and gums are healthy! Of course, now I'm all nervous about the pain factor involed in getting the filling...I don't remember the last one, so I can't know how much it will hurt. I'm such a wuss for pain.

Migraines have been almost gone the last two days (finally) so thinking has been possible again. No update whatsoever on the job front-ugh-and I've not even heard back from my recruiter since last Friday. Time is starting to run out and I'm getting nervous. Supposed to spend the day with my sister tomorrow, so that will be a nice change of pace. She's just about the only family memeber I can actually talk to honestly without fear she'll freak out. We have a good sisterly bond even though she's 11 years older then me and we have a lot of different opinions. It's the differences that compliment the similarities I think. Having some problem with the car though-brakes are a factor, but it might be something else as well. Not so good since we have only the one car and it's damned hard to manuver dropping it off for service when you can't get home then. Was supposed to go in today to have it looked at, but then realized I couldn't do that because I'd be stuck. So I woke up at 7:30am with my Love for nothing. Try to get it in Saturday instead. Wish us luck that it's warrenty item and we can at least get an Escort or something with the $30/day allowance that gives us. (damned rental cars are EXPENSIVE)

Bruins are on ESPN2 tonight (against the Colorado Avalanche) at 10pm. Should make a good game. Aves have been red hot and bruins have been on a winning streak. Plus, Bourque was on the Bruins for 19 years before moving to the Aves, so he's facing his old team. Going to watch that tonight. :)

In a word: unmotivated...

My head continues to hurt far worse then ever-it seems I can find no comfort sitting, standing, laying-etc. Every breath rings pain through my skull and I'm starting to worry I may need to go to the hospital if it does not stop. It's been four days now without stop and I've run the list of things to try to help-ice packs, sleep, darkness, excedrin, some soda (for the caffine), etc...nothing is helping. I can't eat I'm in such pain. I can't do anything but lay there, miserable while things pile up...

I don't know what to do and I'm getting very scared...

Ugh....my Love's birthday today...everything fell through: his gift, his cake, any sembelance to a decent day...damn, this must have been his worst birthday ever and I fee like shit...

Add to that I don't know what to do about my head...these migraines are coming back again-HARD-and I can't take this...it hasn't stopped hurting in days. I constantly see after-images and auras around things from the brightness of light, tv screens, moniters, etc. My site is filled with hazzy orange and blue blobs. My neck throbs, my eyes feel like they are on fire and NOTHING is helping me. Not even my stand-by excedrin. It's not going away-no matter how much ice, darkness, and sleep I get, it's still there...I want to cry, but even that hurts too much...my eyes hurt so bad from the light-even typing this is painful and I'm trying to do it with my eyes closed honestly... (perk to knowing how to type)

At the same time, I feel so selfish. It's his birthday and I feel like I totally let him down. Everything was supposed to be great and now I'm in here, crying over my headache, ready to turn in for sleep at 10:30 at night. It's so unfair, but this headache is just hell...

Going away now...in search of yet more ice for my head...
