My grandmother is having a quadruple-bypass surgery today. My thoughts and prayers are with her...

Any additional thoughts and prayers will surely be appreciated!

Even though my work's not done...

I guess I'll have to continue tomorrow...

I need to get ready to go out...

I might have plans...

It's been an interesting weekend!!! Maybe more details to follow!

Well, I got some of the new, cool things about MT4 to work on my website...

This is a little test post to make sure that the right things work... like accepting comments...

I still can't get the sidebar to work right, though... I hope to figure it out using the "Widget Manager", but when I do that, the whole page goes blank... I guess I could "hard code it" if I needed to...

Well, it should appear fairly obvious that I've upgraded my site to the newest version of Movable Type. But for some reason, I can't apply any of the new themes. For that matter, I can't apply my old theme either. So for now... the site will be just stuck in the black & white, unformatted version you're currently seeing. Blah!

Bad thing is that I've stayed up WWWAAAAYYY past my bedtime, and tomorrow will be a long day at work. Stupid me...

Really, I'm not.

In fact, I'm somewhere around the intersection of content, excited, happy, and optimistic (change can be a REALLY GOOD THING sometimes!). And yes, this is still Bri-man's Reflections you're reading.

I found a quote that I wanted to document, as I'm 110% sure I'll reference it sometime in the future. Again, I'm not upset, so please no emails asking me what's going on now.

...the more you love someone, the more able they are to piss you off. So be aware: Anger and intense emotion are normal when you truly love and care.

even more in the extended entry:

Just a quick post...

Don't ever move... don't ever use movers... don't ever plan ahead.... it won't go as you want it to go anyway...

I was supposed to be all moved in yesterday, and beginning the process of settling in... didn't go as planned...

when the movers re-scheduled, all should have happened today... earlier today.... much earlier today... moved in but not necessarily settled would be OK... didn't go as planned...

I'm still in the hotel, and the movers should be delivering my stuff early tomorrow morning. That should give me a good portion of the day to unpack and settle. Why don't I believe that things will go as planned?

Stressed? Frustrated? Grrrrrr....

This I *do* know.... I turned the icemaker on when I got my keys... once I unpack the martini glasses, the vodka, the vermouth, and the olives (guess I need to find the shaker and picks too, huh?)... awww forget it... I have a feeling I'll be taking a walk down to the Carlyle just for a drink...

grrrrr... hope I don't wake up as grumpy as I am now...
