I seem to have fallen into depression of late.

I'm avoiding things I feel like I should be doing, like grocery shopping, making meals, and working on my WordPress theme. This really only adds to my feelings of depression, but I can't seem to muster the will to do any of those things. Maybe today I'll finally get some groceries so I can cook for my husband again.

Instead, yesterday I started a new project, and that is to add all my pictures from my Japan trip in 2001 to smugmug. Now, if any of you have spent any time over there you'll know that I already had many of them up (through Takayama). But I'd been selective about which to upload, and I'd resized them all to 800x600/600x800. Since smugmug gives me unlimited storage, this seems silly, in retrospect. So yesterday I started going back and replacing the smaller files with the full-sized ones (including some pictures that I hadn't uploaded before), copying the captions over, adding to the captions, and adding "tags" to each photo. This is a big project, but I'm already through Yamagata. Only two galleries to go until I get to uncharted territory: Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, Hiroshima, and Yatsushiro. Then I'll have to figure out how to organize the homestay pictures.

After that's done, of course, I'll want to upload the pictures from our honeymoon to Japan in 2003. And I'll also want to go back and add tags to all my galleries...

You can see how this is a project that could wait until after I was done with my blog move, but for some reason I am really interested in finishing it all right now. I even thought that I would like to copy my notes from the Japan 2001 trip into my blog, because the pencil I wrote them with is starting to smear away. (Why would I write in pencil? Gah.)

Maybe I would rather do these things because they're easier than building a theme for WordPress. :P I'm tempted to just use a pre-made theme, but to be honest I don't like any of the ones that are available. Not that much, anyway. I want my own unique style.

So I'll just suffer through with Blogger for awhile. (I think all the server problems are irritating me more and more lately because I know I can do something about it, and because I am the only cause of delay.) I just hope when I'm ready to export my posts, Blogger is able to republish my journal in the proper format without freezing :P

I had the majority of my calories yesterday at dinner. Over 1000 calories for a meatball sub and some baked Lay's. I felt like I was starving all day, so I guess that was my "reward". Fortunately, the three pound artificial weight gain from yesterday has gone down 1.5 pounds today. (Does that mean I actually gained 1.5 pounds? :P) For some reason, I'm finding my diet harder and harder each day. Maybe because I don't have any groceries...
