This blogsite still smells as good as a newborn baby and I'm already flaking on it? I apologize for not having posted for a week. I've been so busy with personal affairs quite recently and perhaps pushed myself too much that I'm now down with a very painful case of tonsillitis. I tell you, I need to muster all the courage and guts just to bring myself to chug a small amount of water from the bottle. One small gulp is a milestone, and is a love offering to the heavens for undergoing such kind of pain. Really.

I just got off the phone with my health-care provider after a very helpful yet helpless conversation on how to relieve myself of the pain, and after my long drawn out mutterings about my symptoms amidst the pool of drool that can't find it's way down the drain, a very red and tender uvula (I made sure I spelled that right!) that has the potential to swell into the size of Statue of Liberty given a couple more days, and underneath a blanket that reeks of illness.

So I have another phone appointment in an hour with my doctor, who unfortunately, no matter how miserable I feel, cannot do a throat culture for Strep over the phone. That means, I might have to drag my freaking tonsils to the lab. That, or I live with the risk of rheumatic fever from today onwards. I know all that because when I was a kid, they had to put me on prophylactic antibiotics because I was at a high risk some sort and I never fully understood why. And we can't take chances with the heart -- the most important muscle of all.

Anyway, if you've been here before, you might have noticed the musical chairs of links on the right side. I have not accomplished anything that is related to building and boosting this blogsite. I haven't enlisted in blog directories just yet. Haven't blog-hopped, haven't exchanged links, haven't anything!

I'm still trying and testing the final look that I want although I know that a blogsite is a dynamic work in progress forever.

If there is anything good that has come out of my efforts, it is the Live Traffic Feed. I adore Feedjit! Now, I know who stalks me. No, it's not you my dear friends in the blogosphere. It's this guy with a stamp of Glenview, IL. I know who you are. You can snoop here and in my other sites as much as you want. But I must tell you that I know you've been here. I smell it from the grave. I'M SORRY for stuff that happened, but I hope you understand that someone like me can't patronize losers, even for charitable purposes. I've proven that over and over especially on the last blow with you posting incriminating ads of me online which is totally IMMATURE of you and totally FALSE about me. So please respect it if you felt that you got chosen over, which wasn't even the case. Who knows, if I had chosen you and I to be together, either you or me would have been miserable by now. I knew in my heart and from the start that it wouldn't work and the parade of seemingly beautiful, awesome and too-good-to-be-true things wouldn't get us too far. I gave it a chance, it simply didn't pan out the way we had thought. Things happen for a reason. And some things and people really just aren't meant to be.

And I don't even know why I'm wasting my time trying to explain.

*whew*

I think that's the most personal thing I've ever lashed out in my history of blogging. Normally, I hold back on these things. But acute and painful tonsillitis can bring out so much hatred and pain from ghosts of the past. Try to have sore throat like mine! And tell me what kind of hideous monster it transforms you into.

Trigger happy and aimless.

That sums up what I've done for this website so far today. Hey, at least I did something!

I still have't gotten a fra-la-la-shmalooting (I made up that word) tagboard like I said I would because Chatterbox is blocked by the fra-la-la-shmalooting firewall (now, you know what I meant by that new word).

Oh, I was going to discuss achievements.

Number one. I was able to include the free live traffic feed by Feedjit. I just realized I can get a customizable one based on my blog host in the same site. I'll deal with that later. Right now, I'm happy to see footprints on my site even if most of them are mine!

I've also managed to adorn the right side of my page with different gadgets like the Word of the Day, feeds from the blogs I RELIGIOUSLY follow (only five at the moment -- and two of them are popular people), a Blogroll of my blogosphere friends and real earth friends alike. Not that much, huh? Forgive me for my amnesia (progressing "senior moments" is more like it). Please leave me a comment if I forgot all about you and I'll be happy to add you! I also added other thingamabobs but this is only the beginning.

Don't worry, I won't end up with too much clutter around here. I tend to function better in cleaner environments anyway.

The next project is still a tagboard. You'll never hear the end of it until I am able to install one! Then making this blog known by enlisting in the top essential blog directories because gaining exposure for a blog is critical to building a following, readership, and revenue. And oh, revenue. The next step is sponsor-hunting, affiliate-hunting, and ad-serving. But they work better with sites that have been up and running for a while. I have to let this site age a little to better up my chances.

Oh Susanna, this is going to be a long and arduous process but since I was able to make it work with my Coffee, Anyone site, hopefully I'll accomplish the same here too. Hopefully even more, since this domain's mine!
