http://amplify.com/u/al7boTo get photos up on Facebook has always been a royal pain. First I had to take my memory card out of my camera, connect my external drive (where I keep my files) to my netbook, move the pictures to the external HD, crop/edit/resize them using a graphics program (typically gThumb for quick editing), then go back to FB, to my photo area, and finally upload. How many steps and clicks is THAT?? So many times I didn't even bother.Then I found Lunapic.com . What a TIME saver! When I want to upload a photo, I just put my memory card into my netbook's slot, open the photo with lunapic, do all of my editing, and it saves the result to FB for me! It also saves to other apps, which I don't use...but how cool is this?? I just had to rave about it because it makes the whole process very quick and easy, and I can't believe the laborious process I've endured all this time when lunapic was probably there all along. http://amplify.com/u/bl7c8

Starting to Feel Like a Whiner

Shortness of breath just seems to be a little worse every day. Today made it through church but felt like a wet noodle, when I got home, I got back into my jammies and spent the day in bed. Doesn't take a thing to get short of breath, just walking to the bathroom and back. Good thing my heart checked out ok so I don't have to worry about this pressure and chest pain that seems worse by the day along with my breathing...

So tonight I'm all anxious because I'm not getting better, and decided to take half of a 0.25 mg Xanax, per the doctor's instructions. Don't like how it's making me feel, like I gave up control of my wakefulness, and I know it will send me to sleep within minutes. Still anxious about the whole breathing/pressure/pain thing though. I don't think I'll take it again.

Since nothing was found to explain it, does that mean it's not real?

Nodding off now...g'night...
