What a beautiful day! Going to go start the bike.

...you get up and work on some obscure .asp code? I did that last night. glad i did actually. although i didn't fix the problem with the program i was working on, i went to bed and had weird dreams about SQL connection strings. when i woke up, i knew exactly what the problem was, even though i don't have any clue why i knew that from the weird dreams i had, which i could remember without any problem. so i opened the app in another authoring tool, created new connection strings for all the SQL objects that were supposed to be connected, re-saved the whole kit and caboodle, and voila, it worked. two minutes of work to fix something that had bugged me for months. sometimes dreams may not make sense and sometimes you dont know where inspiration comes from, but always follow the gut instinct right when you get it. just like writing music... if you feel it you have to get it on tape RIGHT then or it;s lost forever.

Yeah I know, two blog posts in as many days... who is this and what has she done with Jane? The cats have relaxed a little. Thank goodness. Midnight woke me up probably a dozen times last night and it's showing on me today. Trying to stay out of sight because the bags under my eyes make it look like i got punched in the face. Twice.

I feel so sorry for FluffHeart and Midnight. They both had surgery Monday, both were "fixed". Midnight is taking it much harder, being older and a male accustomed to roaming about freely. The pain medication they take is nearly gone now so i hope they are both going to be OK when it's all gone. Haven't been playing EQ much in the past few months and i think i actually let my subscription lapse. How weird! I played that game for nearly 13 years, you would think i would miss it, but I don't. I only miss the people. And i miss them enough that I'm sure I'll revive my account sooner or later. Probably when the expansion goes live this month.....

I spent most of the spring and summer being deceived, and in each case it was by people I trusted. When someone lies to you, it takes a little bite out of your faith in humanity. So it's wrong to lie for a few reasons. You dont just cause bad feelings between you and the person to whom you have lied, but you cause that other person to actually literally change their view of the world. Let's try really hard to not forget this.
