striving for functionality...

[kuangning]

Last night's work: overhauling my poor, long-neglected website. I accomplished almost everything I meant to do, and what's left may not be possible.

New Gallery, which is up-to-date, and will be easy to add to.
New Cards, which are likewise up-to-date, easy to add to, and match the gallery's design.
I tightened up the design on the main content pages, to better match the overhauled cards and gallery.
I linked in the site blog, which I really want to get back to using.
I spent the better part of an hour making sure the music on the cards works, and adding in the preview button so that you can play the music without previewing the whole card.

Still to do:

Find a decent way to cross-post automatically between the blog and this LJ.
Update the content. There is a distinct tendency for everything to make it here first -- and almost never find its way back.

In other news: I appear to be facing menstruation unmedicated this time around: I'm out of ibuprofen and out of my tea. You have no idea (I really hope you have no idea; I wouldn't wish this on anyone) how completely this screws up my week. I've not been able to be out of bed for more than ten minutes at a time at all today. WTS reproductive organs, cheap. I'll rent them back in a year or so when Paul and I are ready to start trying to conceive.

Do you have a heating pad around the house? That normally helps me some and drinking anything hot w/o caffene.

I do; it's the reason I'm still marginally functional. I'd be on all fours trying not to cry otherwise. It generally takes 800mg of ibuprofen every three or four hours plus heat to keep the pain to "inconvenient" instead of "intolerable." Heat alone ... I want my meds. :(

Hugs!

*grudgingly accepts hugs in lieu of drugs, notes that somewhere, the creators of that campaign are cringing.* ;)

Do you drink? Because alcohol is very helpful for cramps, in my experience (I take advil at about the same rate as you do, plus either flexiril or vodka during the worst of it), so if you have something in the house a tot might help.

That's a possibility. I don't have any alcohol myself, but I know my college-aged roommate does, and I also know she doesn't mind sharing, since every time I see her she offers me a glass of something. Thank you!
