Lost Weekend

[dreamshark]

Logging 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 LOVE Wait, Wait! But that one comes out as a podcast, and I listen to it while biking, etc. My very fave program, This American Life, is not podcast so I try to catch it in real time. 3pm Saturday, also rebroadcast sometime Sunday evening.
