Bitten by the health bug, and then stung in the face by the cold bug. Sunday’s mental and physical conditions were all over the map, including two or three heavy-duty naps, one point where I totally zoned out while sitting in my parked car for a good fifteen minutes, and now I’m sitting here at the keyboard sniffling and blinking blearily before attempting to go to bed. Probably a good thing I didn’t make Texas, then.
Ugh. Another thing worth noting: one should not, under any circumstances, attempt to read O’Reilly books while flirting with disease. My goal for the weekend was to read 400 pages’ worth of ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide, and I actually achieved a grand total of about 50. It went something like this: read chapter, nap. Read chapter, nap.
Sneeze index: high. Productivity index: low. Fark.
