Since I’m completely neglecting the care of my home these days—letting dust bunnies for colonies and mold grow in my bathtub (ew!)—I figured I may as well take care of a little business here on the blog.
1. We are OK. There was a large earthquake in the south of Taiwan today. Here in Taipei we felt some tremors, but nothing major.
2. I haven’t been blogging because I’ve had the flu. The Real Flu. Not H1N1, but it was definitely The Real Flu. Here I am two weeks later and still not all the way better. I can’t remember the last time I was this sick. And I don’t think I’ve ever had The Real Flu before. Not like this.
3. Sometime very soon Jason is going to switch our blog from Moveable Type to WordPress (right after he finishes the vacuuming…). This means things are going to look a little different. He doesn’t have time to make it look all fancy like it does now (what with his seminary studies, church internship, other website work, and housekeeping duties), but I’m hoping during summer break he’ll get around to making it pretty again.
The good news is this will fix some things that are broken around here, like the messed up comment form and some archiving issues. Just bear with us while we work out the kinks and be prepared for a whole new look to Far East Street.
4. In other news, I have decided that the Asian practice of showering at night before bed is far superior to the American habit of a morning shower. Don’t you want to get off all the funk from the day before getting into bed? Or to put it another way…do you really want to sleep in yesterday’s funk (and the day before that and the day before that….) tonight? Think about it. Let me know what you think.
5. I entered this giveaway. Need an awesome (really awesome) new diaper bag? I do. Go check it out.
OK, so Jason says I WASN’T supposed to announce that we are switching to WordPress until after it was already done. It seems I have broken some kind of blogging code of conduct. *sigh* So, “Sorry” to those of you who’s blogging sensibilities have been offended. And I suppose this means the switch might not necessarily be “very soon”. I guess you’ll know when you know, huh?
So sorry you’ve been sick, Kristie. Hope you feel better soon! And don’t worry about cleaning. As soon as you get the place clean it starts getting dirty again.
Possibly a shower at night to wash off the funk and one in the morning just to get moving in the morning.
The switch is complete. Far east street is now running on WordPress.
I am so sorry that you were sick!! Someone has been sick ever since you left in September! Don’t worry about the cleaning – you will just get it all cleaned and then you will have to start all over. What is that little poem – it goes something like “cleaning and dusting can wait until tomorrow – I am rocking my baby – and babies don’t keep.” You are doing the right thing – taking care of yourself and those little ones. I will continue to pray for good health. Love, Mom
I’m with Grammy on that… we shower in the evening and the morning… No longer can I sleep well if I haven’t at least washed my feet… Rest well! Glad your mom is there to help take care of you!!!
