I couldn't sleep in, usually I can't anyway, so I was up at 8 am and booting the computer to start working on the new splash page and started doing some other things as well. Today has been fairly well productive because the apartment is looking good at the moment.
I did all the dishes. I hadn't been able to get up the energy to do them during the week from being sick and in and out of bed. So the dishes are all done and with few exceptions put away. Along with the dishes I got the counter, stove and sinks cleaned.
Kitchen-wise the floor still needs swept and the other counter needs cleaned off but I'm content with the kitchen at the time being.
I picked up all the magic cards that Dusty scattered (he even got a few under the couch) and put them back in the front room. I picked up the living room and cleaned it out. I ran the sweeper and even sucked the crap out of the couch cushions and off of the cat tree. After running the vacuum I tore it apart and cleaned the various pieces of the filtration system so that it can clean better the next time around. I haven't done that in at least six months and it needed cleaned badly.
In the meantime of creating the new splash page, working on the layout for a new blog and the living room I started doing laundry as well. I think I am on load 4. It's all neatly folded on the couch right now as I really don't feel like putting it all away at the moment. I'll do that in a bit. I also stripped the sheets and pillowcases from the bed so I'll have to find some to throw back on it because I think I am going to stop doing laundry, too.
I also checked into the online classroom and replied to a few posts and to doublecheck the assignments that are due Tuesday (to make sure I had done everything I needed to up to this point) and I'll work on those tomorrow as I want to spend time doing personal stuff today.
For a couple of hours now I've been digging through 1001freefonts.com for more fonts. Since I am going to be using Honey's laptop a lot longer than we figured I am making it more usable for me. This means downloading a shitload of fonts so that I can be creative in both school and personal projects.
I will be tearin apart (possibly today, I am not sure) Movable Type's templates on here because I am fed up with it. I don't feel I can be creative with such huge constraints so I am going to make an attempt at creating my own. I mean, sheesh, that's the point of doing web design on my personal site anyway, right? I don't think MT meant for us to be constrained to using their layouts and their styles and the rigid forms they introduced anyway. I think MT basically did things the way they did so that more designers could create for more blogs. Besides, in order to show the blog anyway, all I have to include are the MT tags. I don't have to have any other stuff from them but that.
Wish me luck, I may need some serious counselling afterwards. Laters.
