I’m feeling pretty good today. All books that were on the had to read because of obligations are finished. I’ve got the hardest part of my final website done–the layout and design. Now I just have to write content.

I worked my tushy off over the weekend to write all the code and because I designed the site using a cascading style sheet instead of the horrible and tedious tables that the professor made us use on our first site, adding pages is a piece of cake. We can use a web editor for our final site but instead of learning how to use Dreamweaver and fighting with it to get it to do what I want, thereby wasting lots of time, I decided to hand code everything and I am so glad because my classmates have been posting cries of help in figuring out how to use the software. And besides, I am geeky enough that I like knowing how to write xhtml. My website is due June 10th. When I am done I will be sure to post a link so you can all check it out.

So now I am beginning to feel as though I have a little time again, things aren’t so pressed and stressed. I took Ugresic’s Nobody’s Home with me to work today. I haven’t had the chance to pick it up since March. I discovered I don’t have much left to read. So that made me happy. There are still plenty of books in progress piled up next to the bed though, but I am not anxious about them. I am looking forward to being able to give them attention.

I have also been trying to spend at least twenty minutes in the evening before bed reading The Morville Hours. It’s such a peaceful book. My only problem with it though is that is makes me want to spend all day in my garden. My garden isn’t of a size that I could spend all day working in it, unless I somehow came into some cash and could go crazy at the nursery buying enough plants and paving stones and mulch and what not so I could get rid of all the grass in my yard front and back once and for all. But, alas, that is not going to happen. Thank goodness for my imagination which allows me to spend time in Swift’s Morville garden. Since she lives in a National Trust house it is entirely possible I believe to visit her garden. Anyone in the UK live in Shropshire and can make a visit with a camera to see if it is as lovely as it sounds?
