You wouldn’t know it by just looking at this site, but we’ve upgraded to PHP 5.2, which is a big deal in the computing world because the prior 5.1 versions were clearly inferior. Clearly. Making the switch called for an intimate knowledge of the dark arts, with a bubbling cauldron, beak of crow, secrets of the Orient, and– And, in all honesty, all it took was a few clicks. I’m not entirely sure what changed, frankly. I’m plain folk, just like you, and as long as the words continue to show up on the teevee screen, I’m content.

I’ve been off-kilter lately. Irritable. Drained. Clumsy, too, when I knocked at least three items into the sink this morning while brushing my teeth. I’d like to be able to trace all this back to a single point of origin and explain it all away, citing this or that reason for why things are the way they are, and then assiduously try to avoid any future encounters with said reason. But something tells me there are no easy answers here. I’ve simply got to wait it out.

While I’m waiting it out, though, there are a few things I may as well try, like getting more sleep. I’ve heard it’s important or something? On a nostalgic whim, I walked into a McDonald’s on Monday, which didn’t help matters at all. (It was terrible, by the way.) You might suggest some fresh air for good measure, but with a weekend full of scattered thunderstorms and temperatures in the low 90s, conditions may not be optimal. Then again, the weather might be perfect for my mood.
