Post-Dating

Hi, gang. As you can tell from the previous post's date, I started that story about 1,000 years (or at least several weeks) ago. But, what with one thing and another, I haven't had time to finish it 'til today. What is wrong with me? I have no idea, but I have the feeling that we're going to need to make a list.

One way or the other, when you start a draft and then publish it later, Blogger attatches to the post the date the draft was started, rather than the date you got off your lazy hiney and actually got around to posting it, already, sheesh! I am some kind of posting deadbeat. I clearly need a beating. Or maybe a doughnut. I can't tell which. Those are almost the same, right? Beating, doughnut. What difference?

(Strangely, this reasoning does not help me when the techs want doughnuts. If you offer to substitute a nice beating, they glare at you. What gives?)

At any rate, I have discovered that it is best just to give the techs doughnuts and skip the beating, but the jury is still out on me. I'll try to stay caught up better. This plan may meet with varying degrees of success, some of which may fall under "good" and some of which may fall under "You suck, AKDD!" And, there may be levels in between. Just sayin'.

Meanwhile, I have nearly ceased to cough (just an occasional bout for old times' sake) and have for the most part subsided to a more reasonable temperature. Oh, and I also no longer have to sleep propped up in a sitting position. I would claim to be back to normal, but there are way too many people who know that isn't where I started, so we'll just have to go with "better". :)
