Since switching over to WordPress 2.01, my previous LJ crossposter (Live+Press) has fallen on its face. The original author was hard pressed to fix existing bugs, let along try and rework it for the new version.

So, I’m forced to switch to a new cross-poster. Not sure how it’s going to work, so I’m submitting this post as both a notice and a test.

Things I liked about the old version, were the ability to post only an excerpt and a linkback to my primary blog, as well as the ability to choose the LJ mood. I’m interested to see what happens here.

I’m working on converting over to a new version of Wordpress. Everything is broken for now, so I’m reverting to the default theme while I work out my plugin issues.

 I hate being sick. We had a last minute trip to Florida this past weekend for my uncle’s 40th birthday. He was very generous and offered to fly my family down for the weekend. The kids did remarkably well sitting on our laps. Sunday night I started having a sore throat. By Monday (the day we returned) it was getting pretty bad. Made the trip home very uncomfortable for me.

My guess is that I caught something on the way down. I’ve heard stories before about the recycled air in airplanes and how it’s pretty nasty stuff if other people are sick. Not only on that flight, but on previous ones. In any case, as the week went on it got worse. I finally had to stay home from work yesterday, and miss fencing practice last night, because I was so overwhlemed with sneezing and coughing. Wednesday night I went to bed at 9p and slept until 9a. I only woke up to go to the bathroom and to call out.

My doctor called in an antibiotic and cough syrup for me. It’s helping break things up a little bit. I finally get to go see him today. He probably won’t change how he’s treating this incident, but I haven’t seen him in almost two years, so it’s worth the visit.

Current Mood:  sick
