Today was a very productive day at work. I was doing some ActionScript coding and managed to get some of the stuff done that I really needed to get done. And I pretty much got it done, too! Nearly 2000 lines of code when all was said and done, but hey, it works! (My math was off - Yes, Michelle, 1+4=5, not 4: oops!!! - but the functionality in and of itself is working beautifully!!!) I really do know how to add and do math, I swear! I think I was so focused on the actual code that the math was just sort of ignored. LOL
I'm really stoked about this because, really, I'm not a code junkie. I can do some coding but it's not really my strong suit. Though, I must say, I find coding in AS3 sooooooooo much easier than coding in AS2 or AS1. Something about the structure and how organized it has to be to work just clicks in my head, ya know? AS1/AS2 are not very structured and you don't have to be precise when you write it... I think that's what confuses me.
On a different note, to day was wet and cold and snowy. It snowed all. day. long. Blech!!! Our backyard has about 3 inches and it's still snowing - I'm guessing we'll collect another inch or so before the morning. It was sticking a bit to the roads and sidewalks this morning but by mid-day all the snow on sidewalks and roads had melted. It's still on the grass, trees, and bushes, though! And the fenceline, the roofs of the houses, mailboxes, etc. I know it's coming up on the end of October and snow this time of year is normal, but really, I could do without the snow and cold!
I really do live in the wrong state for the conditions that I have. Allergic to the sun and extremely sensitive to the cold - and here I am in the state with 300 days of sun per year and generally a lot of snow. I can't help it, though - I love it here! And Dan was born and raised here so I don't see him moving any time soon. Plus, we just bought this house and we love it... so, yeah. I guess I'll just have to continue to suck it up and deal, right? ;-)
Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dr. T up in Fort Collins. I'll be taking a half-day from work in order to go up and see him. It will be my last appointment with him - I kind of want to cry about that!! He's been one of the best doctors I've ever had. He trusts me and I trust him implicitly. He remembers the little things - not just the medical-related stuff, but the little stuff about life - even when I don't see him for months on end. He really makes me feel like he cares, not just about the disease but about me as a person. I'm really, really going to miss him, but it's just not feasible for me to drive all the way up there to see him, especially if I'm in a flare. I end up having to take half-days from work just to make a doctor's appointment and with the way work is, well, you can see why that's really not an option any more. I've gotten the names of a couple of other rheumatologists down here and I hope I can get to the same level of trust with whoever it is I choose to go with. Whoever that person is has some big old shoes to fill!
Well, tomorrow morning I need to delve back into my code and clean up my math issues and hopefully that will make it work. Once I can get that final piece of the puzzle put in, then I can go back to focusing on writing the training module I'm supposed to be working on. I really should have been working on that today but I was really in a code mood, so coding is what I focused on. (You know it's bad when you dream about the best way to make something work using code - yes, I'm that lame!)
Ok, time to end this post. I've got some other things I need to take care of and then I need to hit the sack. I'm actually thinking I may take my shower tonight so I don't have to deal with it in the morning... my hair will kinda suck, but such is life, right? ;-)
G'night peeps. Catch ya on the flip side!
