Well online work at your own pace kind of thing. I have kind of an idea. I'm going to sign up for a class via coursea or eDx that's probably a little more indepth.

At least now I can look at the source of websites and kind of see what's going on.

One of my Second life friends encouraged me to try it. He does freelance development more backend stuff than design but he said I should give it a crack, he seemed to think I had the tempermenant and might have the knack for it. I tried one course on Java through Coursea (I think) but I couldn't stand the professors voice and he kept comparing things to math, which wasn't working for me.

The Codecademy thing is all text and once I started thinking about it more like a language or even like the rules for poetry it made more sense. But java isn't the same as HTML. I'll see hwat happens when I get to Java.

Bad day for anxiety and pain. PMS ratchets both those things way up. I've had ice cream for multiple meals in the last couple of days. Here's hoping I start bleeding and feeling better tomorrow. Oh, and I think our AC may have busted some time today. I notice it felt stuffy and looked at the thermostat: set at 74, up to 79. Now 80. I changed the filter to no avail. Now I'm out on the porch and can hear it making a kind of screechy whiny sound. Have to email landlord tomorrow.

askye and sj, feeling better vibes to you.

smonster, ugh on the bad AC. However, my gays are trying to convince me to come/go for Southern Decadence, so I may be down your way in future.

Hil, glad your interview went well, sending ~ma for that and the one on Wednesday.

And, now to bed. I was planning on a lazy day tomorrow, but just found out that a friend of mine is going to be on a float for his small town Memorial Day parade, so we are going to support at 8:30AM on a holiday. The fact that his dad, the former fire chief, is the grand marshal and I may meet hot firemen is in no way dispositive to my decision to go.

Woot! Hot firemen is never dispositive!

oh noes, AC woes! I feel your pain.

Been quietly cheering on askye during this tough couple of days. Otherwise, mostly sleeping and watching Arrow.

Sometimes it's the little things that can both be exciting and disappointing. White bean and kale soup showed up on the menu and there's Chicken with Pasta and Roasted Fennel. So I was going to try them for tomorrow.

Turns out they both have tomatoes which I can't eat. I forgot to ask what the seasonal fruit is going to be, but I did't want to ask someone to call down to the kitchen. Yesterday it was pineapple but today it was strawberries. I'm taking a shot it will be strawberries. If it's not maybe I can give it away/trade with someone.

I'm feeling better I just have to wait it out until I can talk to the actual doctor. It's raining so probably no outside time today. I was kind of social and I'm determined to go to every group today. If I go to all of htem it means I'm improving right?

Taking part in all the groups is wonderful, askye. Just being determined to do so is great.

Askye, that definitely sounds like an improvement. Good for you!

I've been fairly social this weekend. We have Victor and Thessaly over for TV and dinner Saturday, went out for Thessaly's birthday party on Sunday, and had G and his mom H over this afternoon which I was able to do because the house was already picked up from Saturday. We played Trivial Pursuit. I'm trying not to stress out about the fact that I haven't been able to book my iron infusions yet so I have no idea what my week looks like.

OK, so, someone from one of the private schools that the placement agency sent my resume to just called me (NOT a scheduled interview -- just, called me), and asked me a few questions, and apparently liked my answers, because she wants me to come to the school for an on-campus interview and sample lesson on Thursday. As in, three days from now. I said yes, and now I'm rearranging a few things and trying to plan a lesson.

That sounds great, Hil! Tons of ~ma.
