Did I mention that I’ve had an annoying, itchy rash on my face and arms since this whole thing began? Got some antihistamines from the doc yesterday. Well, this morning I woke up with the left side of my face, where the worst rash is located, swollen. My eye is about half shut. Very attractive.

I slept in the bathtub again last night. Not comfortable but at least I didn’t wake up with a migraine. After yesterday’s neurologist appointment, I’m steamed, and that’s a good thing. I’m ready to write again. I finally have something to say again.

So I went to the neurologist today to see if he might authorize a brain scan to look for evidence of toxic damage.
I told him I’ve been hospitalized for CO poisoning, that I’ve had numerous pesticide exposures and that a natural gas leak in my house was the final blow. I told him about [...]

Finally got a working CSS-only prototype of the fire dept. site. No actual content yet, it’s just the bare bones, but I really like it. Let me know if you spot any problems.
Thanks to Owen Briggs for the solution.

I feel better now, after my visit to the ER last night. It’s been a very stressful and miserable week, so I’m relieved not to be in pain/nausea. My little apartment is contaminated, though. I’m wearing a mask and have my air purifier going full blast.

I went to the ER last night after a weekend of puking and migraine, and they gave me intravenous fluids and oxygen, and after several hours I felt better. Not completely, but enough to go home.

I’ve been throwing up since around 3 am, not even chunks, just bile. My brain feels like it’s in spasms afterward, the worst headache I’ve ever had. I can’t keep down more than a sip of water. Two sips, it’s all over.
I’m between hurling episodes right now, feeling a bit better but I’m worried that [...]

A great new use of the Google API and SOAP
This sounds perfect for a separate Toxic Times blog, if I can just get my ass in gear and actually write a regular column. Then after every column or post, there would be a list of ten related links, courtesy of MT and Google.
Sweet.

i wish i could take a design class– not just how to code a site but how to make it look fabulous. i have a terrible time figuring out what colors will look good together. even bought some software for that, Color Schemer, and it’s good but… well, i need a class. wonder if there’s [...]

Look look look: I did it!
Got a problem with the links not being visible in N7 until I hover or click on them. Let me know if you have the same trouble.
Now, on to the fire dept. site, with two cd’s full of photos of the Ground Zero rescue effort. The Slooze photo album [...]

EPN World Reporter: Baywatch Barbie Turns To Journalism:
“Pamela Anderson has hidden talents: The former Baywatch star will be writing a column for the US magazine Jane starting September.
“Anderson is expected to cover serious issues in her articles, including motherhood, women’s health and domestic violence.”
Good. Now she can tell us all about the side effects of [...]

Woohoo! I think I found the solution to my wedding album dilemma. : Take a look. Click the links to see the thumbnails for each topic, then click the thumbnails. I don’t know how the search function works yet — I think I need to add descriptions of each photo so there’s something to search. [...]

I can’t stand it. I have spent all day trying to make various photoblog configurations work for my friend’s wedding site, but it ain’t happenin’. And I can’t stay awake any longer.
I need help.

Downloaded it too. Wish I knew what to do now.

It takes a long time for me to lose my temper but eventually, I blow. I’m just about ready.
I’ve been sick for the past week, plus generally not well for years, but do you think my 6′2″, 14-year-old son will lift a finger to help? No. He sits in his room and plays games. Period. [...]
