Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

And all I got for Christmas was this stupid head cold.....



I've been dodging bullets for weeks now. All of my coworkers have been sick, as has most of my family, while I have been surprisingly healthy. Not a sniffle, sneeze, or flu-like symptom in sight. I credit this early good fortune to my tea drinking addiction - tea is loaded with antioxidants in case you didn't know.



However, I couldn't dodge the bullet of a crowded movie theater over the holiday weekend. Yep - I got sick. I'm about ready to drive an ice pick through my nose just to relieve the sinus pressure.



Because I'm a sadist, I've been trying to work with this affliction. I have 30 minutes left in my shift this evening and I'm trying to resist the temptation of crawling under my desk.



Not that I had any hot plans for New's Years Eve - but this cold makes me want to crawl into a corner and whine incessantly. Have I mentioned that I'm an awful sick person?



However, there is hope on the horizon - I have both Thursday and Friday off.
