Lost Weekend

dreamsharkLogging my activities for this weekend should be pretty easy - I'm being sick. Blecch. Started coming down with a cold on Friday, spent all day Saturday huddling inside, blowing my nose and feeling sorry for myself. Spent most of my time listening to MPR and practicing embroidery in my new, over-lit sewing room, or obsessively playing Boggle on my Palm Pilot. I mended a beloved pillowcase by embroidering an ugly flower over the hole, and developed enough confidence to start embroidering a large flower on my cotton-tencel jacket. Also managed to score over 100 on Boggle a few times (but only when I gave myself 6 minutes or more to complete the round). I'd feel a lot better about my Boggle scores if the program didn't remind me every time that I scored, say, 108 out of a possible 595 points.
Today I'm feeling somewhat better, but I can't take advantage of the suddenly pleasant fall weather because my fall colds tend to veer suddenly into bronchitis and asthma if I breathe cold air when I'm sick. I think it would be safe to creep out to the car and drive to my health club, the branch that has the steam room. I haven't had any exercise since Wednesday, which makes me antsy. And there's nothing very interesting on MPR on Sunday afternoon.

I picked up a TX earlier in the month and wouldn't mind having something other than solitaire on there. (What I'd really like is Civilization, but one has to be realistic about these things. ^_^)

Date: 2006-09-24 07:31 pm (UTC)There are some pretty amazing games available for the newer Palms, including strategy games. Some are free, some cost a few bucks. I downloaded one called Village Sim, which is sort of Sim City on a desert island. I haven't really tried it yet, but it looks really cool. At least the trial game is free - there might be a cost to play the full one. If you like pattern games, Bubblet and Bejeweled are very addictive. They are either free or very cheap. I don't recall, since I got Bubblet for my old Palm long ago and it still works on my new Tungsten E2. Most of my old games do not work on the Tungsten, so I went looking for new ones.

Goodness!
Date: 2006-09-25 12:21 am (UTC)And we have Linux class for the next 3 days.
(I can't comprehend getting up at 6am to get there...)
That ought to really make the cold worse! :)
