tags and fever



I've been sticking close to home today. My 15 year-old is extremely feverish and we're on H1N1 watch. So between checking temperatures and making chicken noodle soup, I thought I'd do something really useful. Like tidy up the tags on the blog. Let's face it. They had become unwieldy and inconsistent. While I was in tag-cleaning mode, I decided to pretty them up as well. Maybe a nice cloud formation rather than that boring list. Perhaps a few pictures. Not a big project. Shouldn't take too long.

Well. It was bigger than it looked. Who knew there were so many tags? Obviously not me. Perhaps if I'd had a clear idea of the changes I wanted to make before I started . . . But why break a long-established tradition?

But I think I'm done. For now. Let's just say I've finished Stage One of the tag improvement project. The rest will have to wait. It's hard to devote your undivided attention to important work when you have a sick teenager upstairs complaining and whining for toast and soup and water and medication. Okay, okay . . . I'll be right up.

Wishing wellness for your 15 year old! Three of us had the piggy flu. It wasn't fun my 3 year old was the worst. The dr. said no tamiflu because the fevers weren't high enough. Soup and fluids are good.

He seems to be improving so we're hoping it's just a bad cold. Fingers crossed. :)

Hope your child is on the mend and it's nothing but a cold or little bug.

Tidying is never easy - in the real world or blog-land!

Love your sidebar and tags.

I was sick just after Thanksgiving; spent a whole 24 hrs sleeping and a week off work. Still not 100%.

It's nice to have a mom to take care of you. :-)
