« Movie Review: Children of Men | Main | 3 day weekend - with creativity? »

an expiration date on pouting

I am just livid that my weblog is not fixed and perfect in every way. It seems so cruel that I would work so hard and still not be at the finish line. Here is what I know is broken:

- The comment filter does not work. Lets in junk. A nightmare. Yes, it's set to 10.

- The main webpage does not show posts. Or, at least, it does not show posts when I expect it to.

- The RSS feed does not work in google reader. My feed is not the only one with this problem. However this is cold comfort.

All that aside - the real reason I'm writing is I had a day off last week. It will go down in history as the day off. I don't usually get days off. That's probably a good thing because I have been doing the tired-mom thing all weekend. Who knew that was coming? The good news is I am eating my vegetables. We had a gorgeous radish salad with the king crab tonight and the wine. The kids love the king crab (from grocery outlet, so cheap!). However that's all I'm up to. I mostly sleep and read HP.

The real thing that is happening is I am at a crossroads. It is called the "soul's leap" in the solutions work I am doing. I am working on facing the essential pain of the human condition. The unfair limits of it. Facing this will help give me security, that the human condition will continue to be a bother to me and I can work through it anyway. Sulking will no longer be an option. It has come to my notice that 99% of what I voluntarily do is sulk because I cannot face this pain. I want this to change. A few more days off and I may be there.

Comments still open.

Ms. Grigg -

Rediscovered your blog by way of Scoble's mention of the Mug Rack so many moons back and the story I posted of a similar tale over at mine. Anywho...

1) Terribly sorry for your current state. Hope all gets better for you.

2) You might consider swapping blogging platforms. Lots of good zero maintenance solutions out there that do all you need them to do. Wordpress.com has a wonderful and free hosted platform. I've successfully stopped 1,100+ spam comments with it in the past several months. RSS works with Google Reader and the main page obviously show the posts as they're submitted. (Plus, Scoble uses it so it's got to be industrial strength, right!?)

Stay well, eat those veggies and chat later via the blogging world.

Gerald
