Okay, enough with the excuses, but MAN my family has been through it! All four of us got it and for all the blase attitude I had about it in the beginning, this thing really kicked my ass. I still sound horrid, coughing and wheezing, but I no longer feel like I've been hit by a truck. My poor baby girl Georgie had a 105.7 (!!!) fever...THAT was scary.
We are all on the mend, slowly but surely. I've missed a whole week of work and I feel really disconnected from the world. But tomorrow morning I have a presentation at the AFP-MD Philanthropy Day in Baltimore and I am keeping fingers crossed that I can get through it without a coughing fit. Yikes.
Once I get back in the saddle, more senseless ramblings about social media. But for now, just a thought...what the HELL is facebook thinking with their little guilt-trippy suggestions of people I should "Reconnect with"? (over in the section that used to be reserved for "People you might know"). It feels really icky, even though I know it is just some algorithm telling the Facebot to show me people I have friended but never actually interacted with. Oh, come on...you know what I mean. You get a friend request from someone you can't diss, but you really aren't crazy about so you accept the request - and if you are me, you place them on a restricted list so they can only see certain types of information about you. I shouldn't get a little pang of guilt from facebook of all places. It's like in elementary school and your mother insists on inviting the whole class to your birthday party so no one feels left out.
