I’m getting tired of typing “Eileithyia” out. It’s not intuitive, for some reason, and it brings my train of thought to a screeching halt as I work.
I had the winter tires put on this morning, and while it was being done I sat in a cafe for two hours with my books and notebooks and worked. Not only did I get some goddess research done, I plotted out the end of The Moments of Being Pandora. It’s taken almost exactly two years, but I finally figured out how it ends properly. And about time, too. It was annoying me.
My hands are cold, and it’s making typing difficult. The rest of the house isn’t cold, but my hands are. Go figure. Maybe I should dig out an extra pair of cheap magic gloves and cut off the fingers, like I did years ago when I worked in the local F/SF bookstore (RIP) which wasn’t heated in the winter.
Try typing EL (or something else that you’d consistently remember) and then afterwords doing a search-and-reaplce in word to Eileithyia. And what/who excaltly is Eileithyia?
Sorry for the typos on that last one. For some reason, I can’t see what I type when I post a reply to your blog. And I’m a dyslexic typer at the best of times.

I have the same problem. The menu sidebar covers the right side of the comments text-entry box.
Ditto to Jan. It is a bit frustrating. You use Firefox, so maybe you do not see this problem. I am using IE and it is annoying. But then, you folks with Firefox get a rotten view of my blog.
Whenever I use IE to view it, it’s fine, so I think it has more to do with the resolution someone’s screen is set at. Mine’s set at at 1280 x 1024 and nothing’s squished.
EDIT: Nope, it’s not that either, because I’ve just dropped my screen settings to 800 x 600 and it still views just fine in both Firefox and IE. I have no idea why it doesn’t display correctly on some computers.
Silly Imp — I do the search and replace thing frequently when I work, but by the time I realised I should have done it for this very annoying name, I only had a couple more times to type it. I think it appears a grand total of seven times in the MS.
Eileithyia is the Greek goddess of labor and childbirth. Or rather, *a* Greek goddess thereof, because there are more than one.
