Kupatrix

That is what first tipped me off. The tickling in the back of my throat. Slowly it built and got worse. All the while I denied it, put it out of my mind, tried to ignore it. Eventually it taught me I was nothing before its might. This time the onset of getting a soar throat and recovery happened relatively quickly. I went to bed in the evening, only to barely get any sleep and wake up the next day with a horrid sore throat. It was so bad that drinking water burned, which seems awfully strange to me.

The last time I had a really bad sore throat it lasted for almost a week and a half, and it was so bad that I couldn’t swallow without extreme pain. Couple that with the fact that I couldn’t stop salivating it was a pretty horrible week and a half. What’s worse is that during this time I actually begged to go to the doctor… After all was said and done they gave me these horse pills and was told to “swallow” them. Seems to me it just added to the pain.

This time, at least, wasn’t so bad. I woke up Tuesday with a bad sore throat, go over the soreness by around Wednesday evening or early Thursday (didn’t really sleep much considering). Afterwards I developed the amazing ability to produce large amounts of snot. And today (Saturday) I’m just sitting here, finally over a light head, and only having to deal with the occasional snot build up.

So if you were wondering what the heck was going on with me, there you have it.

Onto other news! I took some pictures at a family gathering last weekend (right before I got sick as it so happened) and you can see most of them in the Gallery under “Family Pets” there were, of course, pictures of the Family, but I’m not quite as a cavalier as others are about posting their family for all to see.

At any rate you can at least look at the awesome animals that our family has. It’s simply the beginning though because most of the family has a dog, or a cat, or multiples of either (or both) and I intend to get pictures of them all!

I’ve also decided I’ll be releasing the current theme Kupatrix is using, soon (free, under CC). I want to finish tweaking it, especially for quotes, and round out the comment section (it’s pretty bare bones at the moment). When I do I intend to release the theme along with some varied color versions (Red, Green, Purple, Blue - The Default, Brown, etc…) though I’ve no wish to overdo it, so we’ll see.

I’m planning for this to be the first release of many, so “stay tuned”! Most, if not all, of the themes will be released for free under creative commons. Oh, and I’d also like to encourage anyone and everyone to comment and criticize the current design. I want to know what people like, what people don’t like, so as I finish tweaking it I can’t get all the kinks worked out. Thanks!
