Life Viewed Through an Amber Focus

Are other people still having trouble editing on LJ posts?  Particularly those of you using Rich text format.  I'm having trouble changes things once I preview them.  Well, I change them, then I hit preview, then it shows it's still there even though it's not on the posting screen.  I published it anyway the other day and even though I'd taken out the whole comm title completely and just shortened it to TTU, what I'd originally written with the extra little head between the u and the s of then_theres_us (my original typo was still there).  I hesitate to post fic when I'm ready, because invariably, even with three people looking at it we all miss a tihng or two that gets into the published version.  If I can't go back and fix it it is going to drive me nuts.  Are these problems happening in html?  Because I may very well have to finish teaching myself html if that is not because I'm sick of it.

Day 2 of the diet went okay.  I have a headache from carb withdrawal and I took a nap in the middle of the morning from 10 to 12 because I was all foggy headed.  Much better at this end of the day.  Still have a bit of the headache but it has reduced by half.

Someone sent me one of those glowing letters I sometimes get through Teaspoon's mailing system to praise some stories I had written forever ago.  Make me happy to see they still hold up in someone's eyes.  Feedback like that is always such a wonderful surprise and it really lights me up.  It also leads to so many things.  That's how I met Amy who eventually became my first beta.  And how I met Victoria as well.

Speaking of Victoria, I saw her precious little girls today.  I cannot believe how big they have gotten.  Or how gorgeous they are.  Considering how drop dead gorgeous V is and that Peter's up there pretty far himself, I guess I shouldn't be stunned by the beauty of their babies.
