Cross-posting

I sure would like to be able to link my Livejournal and Tumblr accounts. It's easy to link Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and some others I don't use (to tumblr) but LJ always seems a bit more difficult. I guess LJ is supposed to be used differently, but I'd like some of my tumblr content to come over here automagically.

Livejournal is a little harder to use than the others--it just hasn't kept up with the way people use the internet, I guess. I will still use LJ because it feels more permanent (and is way easier to search than the others) but less frequently I guess.

Anyway, due to my dad's health issues (vertigo--this is apparently a thing) I was in four states in 6 hours yesterday.

Also this morning I posted this on Tumblr:

I was showing the curators a dead dove (window strike), carrying it around, absent-mindedly resting my finger in its mouth, in its crop. Miraculously, it came back to life!

Note to self: don’t try this outside of dreamland.

really did that happen or was it a dream?

Does your dad sleep on his left side. Get him to try sleeping on his left side. Sounds too simple but then again, what could it hurt to try it?

But it can be done! http://mhalachai.tumblr.com/post/127886130442/finally-crossposting-from-tumblr-to-ljdw

In other news, I'm impressed with your bird revival skillz. And I'm super sorry to hear your dad isn't well. I'm sending love your way!!

Just a dream.
Well, I've observed him sleeping on both sides at different times. Doesn't everybody?

Thanks, I'm checking it out!

It doesn't look super hard OR super simple, but it seems like you'd only have to do it once.

Well no apparently not. I just know that my mother's ataxia was affected by which side she slept on. She was blind on her right side so she slept on that side until a physiotherapist suggested she move her bed and tv around so she would be more inclined to sleep on her left (she did tell her not to watch tv in bed) and she said it helped.

I have a tendency to sleep on my right side and I experience a bit of dizziness when I do exclusively. Left side sleeping is supposed to be better for digestion and lymphatic systems but that might just be internet hooey.

I gave it the old college try but couldn't figure it out. I need to find a young person to explain it to me.
