Out Sick . . .

It looks like there must be some kind of bug going around. First Bruce got sick with a bad cold, and since he's never sick for years at a time, it really hit him like a ton of bricks. THEN, it's my turn catch the cold. Needless to say, we've been spending the week mostly trying to rest up, eating chicken noodle soup and trying to do the best one can at work. Since he started his new job, he doesn't really have any sick leave.

I went into work when I would have been better off just staying at home since I have plenty of sick leave and it was Friday anyway. It's the machoism in me, I guess. So today we just slept in, went over to Bob Evans to get breakfast since we really weren't in the mood to cook, and then went back into bed. Hopefully we'll feel a lot better tomorrow. I just can't wait for winter to be over.

Meanwhile, now that I have a new home for my domain, I've been searching out plugins for Movabletype. I recently came across this interesting plugin - MT Blogroll. This is just what I needed. All the while, I've been cutting and pasting into the template to create the list to the left of this post. It's time-consuming, though, because it requires several steps. This way you just go into blog admin view and paste in the title and URL, or open up a bookmarklet that is supplied in this plugin when you see a blog you want to save and the bookmarklet will copy the needed info - you just click Save and then Rebuild. So now I'm going through the blogs and saving it into my Blogroll table. Not that bad, really, I just went into the template, copied the code for the blogs, did a search/replace to add target=_blank; I've got Safari set to open links with “_blank” in a new tab.

Needless to say, this hasn't been a good month for knitting - I do miss it. But I will back at it before too long, I'm sure. I just can't wait for spring to come - it will be wonderful to see all those flowers peeking out in my garden.
