Whatever plans I had for writing today have gone by the bye. I spent most of today struggling with the server. I'm not 100% sure what's been happening, but I think it's a combination of a small but malicious attack and a sudden boom in the site's popularity with web spiders--little programs that crawl the web indexing websites.
It makes me think about pacing. When there's an emergency like this, I can barely make myself stop to use the bathroom. I've been like that for almost the last month, trying to help John keep our finances afloat. If I keep this up, I'm going to get sick, and I'm struggling hard to get myself under control.
How do you all pace yourselves in crisis situations?
Update: Everything is fixed, thanks to my friend Aaron, who is always kind enough to help this little old lady across the Information Superhighway. You will notice that the site is faster than ever--approaching greased lightning. 
Here's hoping we don't go down again for a long time!
