I think I've finally made it back into the swings of things around here. I didn't get much sleep last night, and woke up to the wimpering of two dogs, nearly in unison, at my door. Jackey had left a bit of a present all over the floor. Apparently, she's been having problems holding down food.
Good morning? Hardly.
So I'm off to give blood tomorrow. No, not to the Red Cross or anything, but to a research group. It's no secret to say I am in no way looking forward to this.
It's not that I'm afraid of needles as much as it is I don't like them. If I feel like crap, and a shot in ass will fix it, I'm all for it. But voluntarily? I've only given blood once, and casually walk by the table every time the Lifeline group is on campus. If you were to look into my closet a year ago, you'd swear I'd given hundreds of times for all the T-shirts I had. My mom earned all of those.
All of this started when my dad had a horrible reaction to some blood pressure medication he was perscribed. It's apparently very rare. So, he was signed up (and his family) for a Vanderbilt study. I don't know what exactly this whole thing entails, I think the lady (Kristine, or something) said that she took two samples from my dad, one for DNA and another for some other purpose.
Still no word on an optometrist or dentist appointment. They may have to wait a while longer.
I'm frustrated as hell that I don't have any of my Web apps here, and can't get SSH to connect to my site. I know, it's not supposed to be used as a regular FTP client, but you'd think that'd be a standard feature. The FireFTP extension for Firefox isn't all that grand, and I'd much rather work with something that has drag-drop functionality.
I suppose I ask too much. If I thought it'd work, I'd hang a system off the router and just have the subdomain point to it. Then, at least, if it screws up, I can fix it.
