Livejournal, Twitter, and (I think) Facebook have been experiencing issues today. From what I hear, they are under DDOS attacks.
Twitter being down doesn’t bother me. I mostly just use it to let people know I made a post on my blog, so the only problem it’s caused me today is the error message my web site pukes out when I make a post. I’m not on Facebook, so I wouldn’t be bothered by it not working at all. Livejournal not working, on the other hand, is totally annoying me. Not only does it cause the occasional error puking when I post to my web site (due to the crossposting plugin), but I can’t seem to make filtered or private posts at LJ, and I do that at least once a day. You know, stuff no one else would be interested in reading about (boring crap like what I ate during the day or tracking migraines) and the kind of stuff I only share with people I know pretty well (like gossip and griping about family members). So I hope LJ gets things sorted out soon. I’ll burst if I don’t get to gripe about family members to my friends much longer. I have intense and personal bitching to do, dammit!
Nothing much going on around here today. I’ve been a slug. I’m still not feeling so great, and earlier today a migraine was threatening to kick my butt –on top of the allergies which are already kicking my butt. I definitely look forward to feeling better soon. I’ve been down and out most of the week, and that means I not only haven’t been getting things done I need to get done, I haven’t been getting to do anything I want to do or have fun either. Yup, mostly just walking around in a drug-addled daze, sitting and staring at the TV, or taking naps. I’m sure some people would think that doesn’t sound like such a horrible way to spend one’s time, but as lazy as I am, I do like sticking to my schedule and getting things done. I also like enjoying myself from time to time. I’ve been feeling so blah I can’t even knit, which means I must be feeling pretty poorly. I always feel like playing with yarn!
And I have been sleeping like crap. Can’t stay asleep for more than three hours at a time, and that really does wear me down. Tonight after dinner, I’m going to take an allergy pill and announce to Lin that no matter what is going on or where I am when I fall asleep, leave me where I drop. If I have to miss our usual TV shows and sleep on the couch all night in order to get at least 8 hours of sleep, so be it. This worked a few nights ago. I’m hoping it works again. I am feeling completely worn down.
I am going to try to finish the silly hat I have been working on tonight or tomorrow morning. I am so close to being done with it. It’s annoying to be so close to finished and not getting the thing done. I certainly can’t wear it yet, what with the high temperature today being something like 105ºF, but I want to take some silly photos of me in the silly hat … so we can all laugh at how silly I am.
Well, I’m going to go to the kitchen and be boring with nothing to say while stirring the chili I’m making for dinner. Yes, I am making chili on a beastly hot day. I’ve been craving chili all week, and by gosh, I am having chili tonight!
