When life serves you lemons make lemonade goes the saying and these days life does taste like home made lemonade. Some times overly sour, sometimes overly sweet. On occasion sour but with the grains of sugar crunchy between your teeth. Some things are going extremely well, others very badly and in some cases I have no clue what is going on. Days merge into nights, weeks change and suddenly it’s the end of February and I’m wondering where two months of my life have gone and what have I done with them.
Existential questions aside, everything since the 6th of Jan when I went back to work seems like a blur. Very stressful, too much work, too many variables. Normally I thrive under pressure. Currently all I think I’m doing is getting my blood pressure up and very few results to show for it.
Things I considered de facto in my life are not so any more, routines and habits are gone, maybe forever. Struggling for time, struggling in my head, trying to get back into some sort of routine, cause I am after all a creature of habit.
But now that life is serving me lemons I’ll make lemonade. I’ll chug it down, enjoy the sweet bits, get another swig of it down when it’s sour, hoping the next bit will be sweet. It’s all about fighting through it and what the hell, if life keeps giving me lemons well f*ck it! It might be time for bullfrogs .
twitter is having some oauth changes, twits will appear again here shortly
Follow me on twitterI have a dream that all my websites will one day exist in a Web where they will not be judged by how they look and behave in each browser, because all browsers will follow the same standards and display them the same.
This is my hope. With this faith in Web Standards and Accessibility for all people and devices we will be able to make a better Web. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of the browsers to a beautiful symphony of design, functionality and content. With this faith we will be able to work better, to play better, to struggle less, knowing that all devices will treat our work equally & with respect.

Excellent approach, my gurl.
If only everyone who’s been given lemons stood up and confronted the lemons as courageously as you.
Great post.
