Several days into whatever it is that I've caught, it looks like I'm finally getting that day to flop on the couch and recoup, instead of huddling under the covers and coughing and trying to fall asleep because I was too miserable to be awake. It's been a very long time since I've been this sick. I have a Babylon 5 disc from Netflix (I'm up to season 4 on a rewatch) or I may yet try to watch True Blood.

During the brief periods that I was semi-functional and didn't have to spend doing work stuff, I bought a domain name. I'm now considering redoing my website instead of just updating it. Of course, I have no design skills whatsoever.

There is a huge bag full of pastries on the kitchen counter. M:TNG-2 got a summer job working in a bakery. I am just starting to get my sense of taste back and I suspect a daily supply of kolaches is not going to do my waistline any good.

Some people should not be allowed to have Twitter accounts. And by "some people" I mean one of my Senators, Chuck Grassley. The Senator is apparently fed up with Obama taking trips abroad and tweets:

Pres Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing in Paris to tell us 'time to deliver' on health care. We still on skedul/even workinWKEND.

Pres Obama while u sightseeing in Paris u said 'time to delivr on healthcare' When you are a 'hammer' u think evrything is NAIL I'm no NAIL.

No matter what you have to say, when your manner of saying it makes you sound more like a sulky middle schooler than a long-serving US Senator, it's time for someone to take the Blackberry away.
