Health and Conventions, not looking good.

It began a few years ago, but it seems to be getting worse. Whenever I go to a series of conventions, I wind up sick. I have no idea what is causing this, but it is true. I assume there is a reason. I have a multitude of hypotheses, with no proof.

So, I am recovering from pneumonia. The body has decided that I will sit and do next to nothing. When I move, the nose runs. When I talk, the throat itches and I cough rather than talk. When I sit here and focus on writing, the chest tightens and I start to wheeze. The result is I am doing a lot of nothing. Fortunately I am very good at nothing.

What I have been successful at doing is to clear the old mind of a lot of preconceived "truths" that are just opinions and habits. It is helping me to recover my open mind. The problem with an open mind is there are a lot of people waiting to fill it with their garbage.

So far it looks like this blog posting software is going to work.

I also need to find out how it works with photos. I will give that a test by adding a DragonVale screenshot as a picture.

I have been playing DragonVale on the iPad. It is not a type of game I would have played in the past, but I am enjoying this one. I spend just a few minutes a day now on it as I diligently research dragon breeding. I am not very lucky at it, but what the heck.

Yes, I can put text in after a picture. It was certainly unclear how to do this, but it does seem to work. Now, let's post this.

Sickness and conventions:
one phrase, recycled air. With all those people and therefore multiple vatients of the germs floating around the air handlers, you are very susceptable to getting at least one germ with your health history. Also the money... great way to pass germs from someone you have never met. Not sure what to do about the air but as far as the money goes, hand sanitizers and frequent hand washing is the best answer. Oh and if you quit smoking and let your lungs heal from that...
*steps off soap box now*
