Some things.

Hello all!

I am slowly going through and attempting to recover/replace links that I had been using photobucket for. Some images I'm hosting through Google, and some may be hosted through Instagram. I haven't worked out if there is a way to share directly from there to here yet, but I'm looking into it.

I am recovered mostly from the upper respiratory ick, and am on my way to feeling more normal (for me at least). I had a follow up with my primary physician on Monday and was healthy enough at that point to receive a flu shot, so yay! I prefer to try and get mine around September but I've been too consistently ill.

I'm actually using my laptop today, because accessing images is fiddly on my phone, and I do have all my photos backed up on my external harddrive, so it's just a matter of finding them in my organizational nightmare, and uploading, replacing links.

Photobucket is holding my account(s) hostage as everyone else, but I've been able to sign in and look at what the links are so I will be screengrabbing all of that so I have a better idea of how to fix at least the last year's worth of broken images.

If I'm feeling ambitious I may go all the way back and re-upload, but that's like over a decade of MUCH MORE active posts and not everything was hosted through photobucket so, we'll play that by ear.

My Thanksgiving was blessedly drama-free (or at least, lower than expected levels) so that was awesome. I hope that everyone else also had a great holiday!

I'm not entirely dead.

My mobile settings have gone off-kilter, specifically with my web browser. There was an update and a bunch of customizable settings were removed or replaced, and I'm trying to figure out which.

In updating things, I've been sick off and on since at least July. A couple of kidney stones, the diverticulosis diagnosis, 2 modified diets for a month each, a skin infection, innumerable migraines, and currently an upper respiratory infection that has me concerned.

I saw my doctor yesterday and we determined it had the potential to become pneumonia, so I'm on heavy duty antibiotics, prednisone for duration, and a follow up appointment on Nov 27th.

We discussed potentially re-upping my pneumonia vaccine, as well as a now overdue flu shot if I am healthy enough when I see him next.

I have mostly been completely offline. I have Instagram but I've been so utterly and completely dead from illness and fatigue that I have not been online at any time longer than a couple of minutes.

I hope you're all doing well.
