And then I logged back into Typepad to start over, and Typepad was all, "Oh sweetie, you seem to have exited without saving your last post, but don't worry hun, we archived it for you, would you like to keep working on it now?"
And I wept tears of sweet gratitude and reopened the post and added another paragraph to it...
AND THEN MY WHOLE FUCKING INTERNET EXPLORER SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.
$%*#&^!
So I logged into Typepad AGAIN, resigned to starting the post anew, and Typepad was like, "Oh silly! You did it again! Don't worry, we totally saved your ass."
And I reopened the goddamn post with a sigh of relief and hit the shift button to start a new sentence...
AND ONCE AGAIN TYPEPAD DISAPPEARED, ALONG WITH MY MOTHER. FUCKING. POST.
And so I logged back into Typepad AGAIN, and smiled kind of sheepishly, and gave Typepad a rather expectant look, and Typepad just looked at me scornfully and said, "Woman, you are beyond help, and honestly that post wasn't so great anyway, so how 'bout you just MOVE ON, mmkay? That shit is toast."
And in my head I threw my computer across the room and it shattered into a million satisfying little pieces, except in real life I'm poor I love my computer and I know it's not my lovely computer's fault, and besides in real life I only throw packages of cookies in anger (true story).
So to sum up The Lost Word of Kimmers:
- I've been really, really miserably sick for almost two weeks and although by today I'm about 80% better? I'm still coughing incessantly, by the end of a day on the phone for work my voice is shot, and HOLY CRAP I'm completely and utterly exhausted by simple tasks like walking down a flight of stairs or taking a shower.
- Nick is a living saint for not only putting up with my snotty tissues and my irrational sickness anger (see: cookies) but also coming home from work not one but TWO days with a chocolate shake in hand for my poor ravaged throat.
- I'm pretty sure I've developed an allergy to one of the few antibiotics I was previously NOT allergic to. I spent 6 solid days constantly on the verge of throwing up and writing it off as part of my illness... and then the first day I didn't pop a pill, instantly my stomach was back to normal. Shit.
I suppose if I had to lose a post, snotty tissues is probably one you guys can live without.
Sarah, I swear to god Disney pics are coming soon. I have no excuse except ohhhh all of a sudden it seems like SO MUCH WORK to plug in my camera and hit "upload", and also I'm a little afraid of Typepad right now. But for sure, tomorrow. And if not tomorrow, Thursday.
