Today is not a very good day, mostly because of PMS. I feel kind of blarg-ish and sickly, I have no focus, and feel like my brain has been replaced with Jello-soaked cotton wool. Which, considering I've got things I need to be working on, is Not Helpful.
(An example: I was creating a basic html template page for the Stroppy One for a project ... and it wouldn't work. Every time I tried to view the page, it would just show me the source code. After a bit of a temper tantrum, I finally double-checked something. I thought I had told TextEdit to save everything as plain text, but apparently it didn't. Once I fixed that, everything worked just fine. It just took me FAR TOO LONG to figure that out.)
So anyway, I am going to consider today a Day Off. I am going to read, eat some more of the fabulous dark chocolate cake with toasted hazelnuts and brandied cherries that BlueJay brought me last night, and try not to fret about the writing I should be doing.
Oh, and I wanted to show off a picture! A while ago, I gave into vanity and commissioned a picture of the Lady of the Manners (well, yes, me) by an artist I admire. Here's the result:

It's eventually going to go up on the Gothic Charm School site. I am absolutely delighted with it. Thank you, Blayne Ward!
