Tired And Sick Little Girl
She is battling the little baby version of the same cold that Beth and I currently have. I have to say that she deals with it pretty well — all things considered. She’s fussy, but not screaming constantly or the like.
…by launching a Gecko in space?
I ran across this article about NASA studying spaceflight and the Gecko last week and have been meaning to mention it here ever since. But the well thing happened and kinda preempted anything I was going to write about in a humorous way.
While the brief article really isn’t anything terribly interesting (to me — NASA has been doing studies like this since the organization’s inception), the first thought I had when reading it was — I bet they’re saving a bunch of money on their [fill in the blank] insurance.
So that’s my random bit of humor for the day. It’s been a pretty boring day for the most part…but that’s because I found myself pretty much immobilized this morning by the cold I’ve been battling. It was pretty nightmarish — my head was going to explode, I swear.
So I slept in today…until about 10:45 or so…and actually got out of bed sometimes around 11:30. I also had a fever during the morning hours and was just not in good shape for the most part.
But, the good news is that my cold is progressing — no more sore throat at all, and I’m past the initial congestion phase and now into the slight congestion and initial coughing/expectorant phase. So it’s getting better, but there’s a ways to go yet. I’m just glad I seem to have a strong immune system which seems to not make this sort of thing last forever. Must be all the fruit I eat. Yeah. That’s what it is.
I spent a while today playing Super Mario World and finished the game. I still haven’t found all of the random areas, but it’s very much close. I’ve got a score of 94 right now.
I also spent some significant time today working with groups on Flickr. I’d joined a few groups in the last few days but never really posted any pictures to them…and so I did that today and also explored for new groups. It’s kind of a neat thing to do…and makes me feel even more like a flickrite. 🙂
So anyway, that’s basically how the day has gone. I did manage to get all the garbage out and haul the recyclables to town this afternoon while my cold medicines were behaving well (I felt good). It was a nice day out today (even though I spent little time outdoors) — with a high temperature in the mid-70’s. Comfortable enough.
It’s about time for bed, though — so until next time…
