This Side Up

Before I get to pointing out some of the new features around the blog, I'd like to take a moment and offer my thanks to all of you kind enough to leave me a comment today. I needed a pick me up, and thanks to all of you, I'll sleep a little bit more soundly tonight and hopefully better than last night.

Between KC not feeling well and Dr. Mom induced insomnia, sleep wasn't exactly my best friend last night. In fact when my alarm went off at 5 a.m. I made the (un)conscious decision to call work and let them know I wouldn't be in. Unfortunately Octavia (the kitten from hell) is worse than any alarm clock known to man and did her usual licking of the face and clawing of the shoulder until I finally roused myself from the bed, and stumbled my way down the stairs with both cats underfoot and running for their food dish.

KC however slept like a baby, after hours and hours of tossing, turning, coughing and sniffling through the night. My poor babe.

So we stayed home all day, watched SpongeBob SquarePants on the tele, ate Pastina for lunch, and placed wagers on which one of us was feeling worse than the other. I let her win, of course.

But other than almost suffering from a near nervous breakdown, I did manage to do some constructive blog related things today. The first being the wonderful how I'm feeling icon on the sidebar I've seen so many sporting on their own pages, followed by the "Read Me Disclaimer" that I found thanks to another blogger's page. (If I remembered where I saw this, I would give them credit for pointing me in the right direction. However I hope my thanks will suffice.) Along with that, I disabled anonymous content to the blog. Originally this is something I didn't want to do, but I've determined that it's the safest course of action to prevent being someone's blog hostage in future postings.

But the absolute best thing I managed to do today was track down a certain individuals ISP address which allowed me to permanently block her from this page. Now I can only hope that I've banned the right person. (Although I'm 99.9% positive that I did.)

As for now, I can only keep my fingers crossed and wish you all the sweetest of dreams as I sign off for the night in preference of my pillow.
