The Internet is Making My Eyes Hurt

Thanks for bearing with me for yesterday's pity party. I didn't wake up in a very good mood, and I blogged right away. Note to self: allow at least a half hour before undertaking any kind of activity post-waking up.

I haven't applied to any jobs today! I did make a job-related phone call, but I don't know if that counts. Yesterday, I spent too much time at the computer (and into last night as well, part of the reason why I think I barely slept last night). I started work on the Web site - learning Dreamweaver, learning how to upload my files. I'm trying to put a placeholder image on the landing page, but I'm having difficulties figuring it out. Any Web gurus out there, let me know what I'm doing wrong! Also, shameless plea for any graphic design advice. I can't pay you anything but my love, but I'd appreciate if anyone wanted to volunteer to look at stuff I've Photoshopped/layed out. I haven't come up with an overall design theme yet for my page - the choices overwhelm me. I have yet to open my Adobe Illustrator, but I think that will be loads of fun once I get around to it.

Anyway, today I took a moratorium on the Internet for a bit by going out for pancakes with my mom. I love pancakes, and I love my mom, so it was win-win. Also, I found a coupon in the paper for $5 off, so of course we had to go. I had room in my belly for pancakes because I've found somewhere to swim for cheap. I am paying month-to-month (at $20 a month, it's a steal) at the University at Buffalo to use their HUGE pool and fitness facilities. By huge, I mean Olympic-length (50 meters). The good ol' pool at the Hill Center is only 25 yards, so this pool by comparison feels like an ocean. I think I'm a decent swimmer, at least I never feel like I'm in danger of drowning, but sometimes when I'm in the middle of a lap I realize that either side is a good bit away. I also have to adjust to having 3 other people in the lane with me, so I've had to circle swim, which I hate. And I've been having a difficult time getting into the groove with my flip turns. Still, though, it's great. I love that I'm able to keep swimming! 

Ok, I really have to limit myself on the Internet, even though it is my only connection to the outside world. I have other things I want to do!
