Musings

  • Ladies, if you wake up at 2 AM and are having an internal body temperature fluctuation, it is not necessary to shut off the furnace completely on a night where it got down to 40 degrees.  Most modern thermometers actually allow you to reduce the temperature in the house without completely deactivating the furnace.
  • There were more posters about Ebola than there were about flu at the clinic this afternoon.  Guess which one is likely to be found in Louisville and kill you?
  • The good news the doctor at the walk-in clinic had for me is that, contrary to how I feel, I am not going to die.  The bad news is that what I have is viral, takes two to three weeks to completely go away, and is quite easy to spread.
  • I’m not sure if this hot toddy (peach tea, apple bourbon, and honey) is good for me, but it definitely feels good on my throat.
  • Many thanks to everyone who bought the book in the first few hours it was on sale.  I write because I enjoy it, but it’s always good to see proof that I’m not just doing it to entertain myself.  If you’ve got any comments about it, please leave them on the book’s Amazon page.
  • It’s amazing how many technical issues end with me saying “But it can’t be that easy!”.

    I usually just kick off the covers. There’s a box fan running in our room for a reason. 😀

      I had the same experience with the ebola posters at the doctor’s office today. I even had to fill about a special questionnaire stating that I had not been to West Africa.
      And yeah, viral for me too. 10 days of suffering. Ugh!

        I’m 4 days past first symptoms, and 48 hours after seeing the doctor, and I’m starting to feel better, if that helps. Get well soon!

        That does help. I’m fighting the first day with antibiotics issues. Today has not been fun, but I know it’s just because there is a war going on and I just armed the resistance.

    I have heard the current administration has asked the news media not to report on suspected cases of Ebola. It may be just a rumor, but the Ebola conversation has started to dwindle on the national media.

      I normally don’t believe in conspiracy theories, but with what I’ve seen in the past decade and a half, this wouldn’t surprise me.
