Our humble site, Muted Lunacy has been featured in the Options Theme Showcase. Wow. This blows me away, as does the theme itself. It’s really amazing, all the options that are open to you are all a mouse click away. There really isn’t any code editing that needs to be done, Justin Tadlock has made personalization and customization as easy as possible.

So thank you Justin. This is an honor.

And just a note: I am currently in the process of upgrading both the Options theme AND WordPress to the newest versions. I’m going to apparently lose some functionality in a couple things, mainly WP plugins and will get it all straightened out eventually. Patience is required.

**LONG INCOHERENT RAMBLING AHEAD**

So I spent my Easter redoing my sister’s computer. Totally wiping 3 years worth of crap out and putting it all back again. Of course there were glitches and bumps in the road as they do insist on still using Windows, but I got it done. One of the glitches was that there was no drivers disc and I had to go searching the internet for them all. Now what gets me is if you ask me to do this for you then have some fucking faith that I know what I’m doing. When the internet didn’t immediately work my brother-in-law went into a panic because he couldn’t get his email and my sister was freaking about something with the firefox and their internet provider (still not sure what). EITHER YOU HAVE THE FAITH IN ME OR DON’T FUCKING ASK ME TO DO THIS!!!!!

To further the fun on this my sister apparently mentioned her issue to my mother who, mentioned it to me. I explained as best I could considering I didn’t even know what the problem was and mom, in wanting to help, called my sister back to tell her what I said. A fight of sorts ensued and we’re back in the shit. I can’t stand this anymore. My sister said to me that she doesn’t understand why mom always has to be in the middle of everything. Well that’s the way it’s always been and always will be. And since mom is MY responsibility she and I are a package deal. Now I really don’t like this but since it seems to be up to me to do everything for and concerning mom or taking her where she needs to go, then that’s how it is. For example because I couldn’t (because of financial and my job issues) take mom back east for the funerals of her 2 sisters and her brother, she didn’t get to go. Now if mom was a shared thing between my sister and I (as it SHOULD be), then my sister could have taken her back for at least 1 funeral. But since my sister didn’t think she had to and didn’t want to then she also believes mom is my sole responsibility as if she were my child instead of my mother.

If you read this, thank you.

So I had to work more overtime again yesterday (Saturday). At least I get a week of wearing jeans out of it this time, I guess that’s something. Then I got to come home and help mom clean the house. Apparently it was decided that we are have the Easter holiday family farce at my house this year. Now that in itself is fine, I don’t have to use what little time off I get driving up to my sister’s and spend several hours feeling extremely uncomfortable. At least I’ll be able to sneak off to my computer if I need to get away, and not feel bad about smoking a cigarette. My sister quit smoking a few months ago, and that’s a good thing for her, but there is no way I can be around my whole family and NOT smoke. The tension is just that bad. But I feel funny smoking at her house now. Ah well just another moral dilemma, right?

But another good thing about her and my brother-in-law coming here is that they know when to go home, so it shouldn’t last more than a couple hours.
