I am sick and tired...

...of being sick and tired. I can't seem to shake the last dredges of this cold from hell. I'm still a bit congested (particularly if I don't take decongestants), am fighting off a cough, and worst of all, I'm dead exhausted at the drop of a hat. It's making it very hard for me to get anything done or even give a darn (hence today's choice of icon). Maybe if I curl up for an extra nap and then dose myself with some of the weapons-grade OJ from the freezer, I'll finally manage to get over this.

OK, how *do* you get an animated icon?

A quick Web search on "how to create an animated GIF" will turn up a plethora of how-tos using various software packages. There's a number of different ways and programs that will let you do this.

However, if you're feeling lazy and/or already spotted the perfect animated GIF, you can always save it and add it as a userpic for your profile. (Of course this brings up ownership and usage questions, but that's another post.) It's polite to tip the electronic hat to whomever you got it from, but in many cases, it's almost impossible to determine the original creator.

Sorry you're still feeling crappy.

You've just reminded me that I have C-monsters in my fridge. I'll be drinking one today.
