I’m feeling miserable. Asa was first in line. A few days before his birthday he sounded kind of stuffy, and worse each day, and is now doing better. I, on the other hand, began feeling weird a few days after his birthday, and have been drowning in it badly since Saturday. Initially I only had a bit of a scratchy throat and maybe it was an allergy, it felt. But then I was feeling that itchy thing in my chest, just lightly tickly, bad news. After that is when my sinuses went under, and though I’m breathing, you could fool me into thinking I was breathing under water, like in a swimming pool, nearly.
So I’m tired and dragging and super under-par, but not goodly so enough to go to bed. Bed is the worse place of all, sleep is hard to come by with draining tickly sputtery coughy suddenly overwhelmingly visitingness — when it feels like it popping in. I finally fell asleep last night, well this morning, sometime after 3 or 4am, and awoke just before 9am. So I did get some heavy sleep to sleep that late, just not much of it beforehand, so it wasn’t “extra sleep” that sleeping late brings other folks. That’s the way it usually is with me anyway, getting to sleep between 10pm and 2am regularly, so sleeping until 7 or 8:30 is not sleeping late to me.
So in spite of feeling horrid, I updated something on this blog. I installed a plugin that “guesses” one’s country, for those that leave comments. It uses the IP to guess. So I have it displaying a Flag of that country, with the name of the country reflected in the title that mouse-over pops up. Glad it didn’t take rocket science to figure out. I did have to mess with some php coding to get it to show up how I wanted it too.
Secondly then, the other day I attempted to install another plugin, but it’s incompatible with the preview feature I have installed for comments already. It’s a threaded/nested plugin, that’s really nice, I just couldn’t figure out making it work right with preview installed. I can say that another day I’ll tackle it again and succeed, I just wasn’t doing well enough, with this cold, to piece the right codes together, hacking the plugin and HACK together, in essence.
Well I hope to be feeling better soon as I have much more online work to tackle as well. I need to re-do my church’s site, re-vamp and create new stuff too. It’ll take top mindform for me to do though, and in that task I’ll include getting rid of every last vestige of Movable Type on every one of my sites. Yippee! Good ridance!

Sorry to hear you are “under the weather.” (I know…bad joke after your storms of late. 😉 ) Hope you are feeling better soon! 🙂
Bad joke, yes, but no, good joke too 😉 Thanks for it.
I’m feeling a tad better today, I think the last two days were the worst of the illness. I’m now coughing stuff up, sneezing less, and well, that’s good! I sure felt uselessly miserable yesterday and the day before, it was pure torture. I know it’s always the worst for about 3-days before it gets better, and everytime I’m in that period I KNOW it’ll improve, but it doesn’t FEEL like it ever will … ugh! Glad to be back today with a partial mind that is working! Yay!
Key note to know things were better this morning, Frank read a few things from the newspaper that were sort of funny, and I was able to think they were and laugh and it suprised him at HOW funny I thought them, I mean, I reacted very openly 😉 Back to having humor feelings is a good thing. It’s needed to get better faster, I think, and being really sick means that medicine (humor) just won’t work sometimes, just have to wait until the body is ready to improve. Signs are great!
Oh good! Glad you are on the mend. 🙂
