slow road to recovery
Dec. 28th, 2005 09:06 pmGlargh.
Think I may finally be getting well after several days of blowing my nose like a foghorn. I hope the upward trend continues as I've got busy plans for the weekend, but even if I'm still sniffly I plan to have fun and learn lots.
The cold has blocked my writing and I've been sitting 2 days looking at the same two storylines and unable to cough up anything resembling a good narrative. Dialog is a struggle for me and I just can't get the words to flow like I want them to. Perhaps I'm aiming too high :/
Sickness hasn't interfered with my coding, at least. With the quiet at work I was able to hammer out 2 good hours of debugging and problem solving today all by my lonesome :)
Otherwise, been sneaking around online to look at shiny things; most recently PVC chain mail and the new site for the Tudor Tailor, whose book is coming out in the spring. I saw this group do their "Deconstructing Elizabeth I" demo in Philly in the spring and can say confidently that they know their stuff - I plan to get one of the early copies.
Speaking of Philly - the reason I never posted pictures from the symposium or anything else is because every graphics package I own brings my computer to its' virtual knees; there's not enough memory to open photos, let alone edit them! D. is right and it's time I faced facts: I need a new computer this year. It doesn't even have to be top of the line, just newer than this one!
Other everyday revelations: 20 lunges = one side of a turkey burger cooking to doneness. And I need more bookshelf space the way other people need water :P
'Nuff for now. Time to get in a few crunches or something before my body atrophies from lack of use :P
