Chillin’
I’ve had a mild but persistent cold for the past week. Several of my family members had it while they were in Gatlinburg last weekend, so I must have picked it up over Christmas.
I haven’t felt really bad — just been a little sneezy and had a cough. The fact that I’ve taken my little sabbatical the past few days has helped.
I’ve enjoyed the chance to relax. I haven’t been completely unproductive, but I haven’t really done that much either. I haven’t exercised, unfortunately, because of the cold.
This morning, I had to go out to pay my rent, and on the way I stopped by our local library. A few weeks ago, as you may or may not recall, I installed Ubuntu on my second-hand laptop. I’d been meaning since that time to check the wifi connection and see if I had configured it correctly. Ubuntu doesn’t have a native driver for my wifi card, so one must use the Windows driver along with a sort of adapter program.
I’m happy to report that the wifi card worked just fine.
I made jerky yesterday, and have enjoyed far too much of it since that time.
Yesterday, I watched the Looney Tunes marathon on Cartoon Network for much of the day; today, I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum, with “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.” I’m waiting for the proof of my novel (after my last set of corrections) to arrive; for once, I don’t have to leave a note for the UPS man.
