Someone shoot me...

I've got a miserable headache - I've been fighting it since yesterday morning, and it totally killed my evening and all my yesterday goals. It's definitely a migraine, and I've taken so much medication for it at this point that my stomach is complaining. (I hate medication - it's my last defense.) Worse, I got up this morning and went to finish filling orders (which only partly happened...) and discovered that I'd done something to my back yesterday. I tried bending over to stretch and almost couldn't get back up. Took the drugs because not doing the work wasn't an option. Made the additional mistake of having a second cup of coffee at work because I had to come in early and am one miserable, over-caffeinated, unhappy Ellen now.

Lots and lots of half-finished orders stacking up at home, and four large, critical path orders went out this morning anyway.

Took a bye week for the LJ Idol thingy this week. No interest in the topic, and no time. Keep meaning to... ya know... reply to comments and get involved in the community, but that's really not why I joined, and I refuse to feel guilty* about not doing so.

In more cheerful news - I'm very happy with what's coming down the pipes for the future of EMG-Zine. :) You'll love some of the goodies we've got coming for 2008!

Also, I will be closing Dec 20 - Jan 20. I realized going through old webpage news that I did this last year and didn't even have the day job to blame for sucking away all my time and energy. I totally deserve this time off.

Onsies are still available!

Back to the O&M manual now...



*(Which, translated out of Elleneze, means I feel horrendously guilty and am trying not to.)

BANG.

Happy to be of service, ma'am.

(Your resurrection service will be by in an hour)

Is there any chance of doing a special deal with you for a onsie?

My friend has just found out she's pregnant, and I'd love to do an exclusive design for her baby - I was going to do a painting for the wall in the nursery, but a onsie would be much cooler I think

she's only just found out, so it wouldn't necessarily need to happen right away - I would be fine waiting until you get them in stock later

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

That would be fantastic! Yes, no problem at all. :)

[curvature.livejournal.com]

yay!

I'll start working on a design and get back to you when it's ready

can you please remind me what the optimum settings are (pixels per inch and dimensions etc) to get the best quality image on there?

300 dpi, 8 x 10 maximum - though the onsies are little enough that you probably want to do something more like 8 x 5 or so (2400 x 1500 pixels).

I know what you mean about meaning to get involved in LJ Idol. I keep wanting to, but I've been So busy, and have had such little time to do it. I'm thinking of using a bye this week, as well, as I can't find any interesting current events! :)

I hope you get some downtime soon. You deserve a break! :)

I hope you feel better. God knows, I know what migraines can do to you. Caffeine pills work wonders for mine lately, but each person is different. Yours is probably from stress and overworking yourself. :)

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

Who ME? Stress and overworking? Bah! :P

I had a migraine today too! Those things are utterly miserable!

Do you have a list of the 2008 themes for EMG-Zine yet? I'm trying to be better with my time management this next year. lol

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

I hope yours is better soon, too!

I keep forgetting to move them over to the submissions page! Too much to do!

Hope you feel better today.
