Bah and humbug. I'm sick again. Sore throat, headache, swollen neck lymph nodes, general lethargy, reduced apetite. I realise that it's all due to a compromised immune system caused by excessive fun over the weekend. Well, Saturday to be precise. First, breakfast at the Brewhouse which saw Liverpool's (much needed) second Premiership victory of the year, followed by The Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival. I don't think much more needs to be said, except that it was a cracker of a day for it.

Sunday I tried to recover. But I was in bad shape. Mostly the general feeling of being run down. I had also lost my cellphone. Bah.

Monday I went by the Cingular store to pick up a new phone. They didn't have the phone I was most interested in looking at, so I went with the Motorola RAZR V3 Black. And then it was off to Charlotte.

When I got to Charlotte, I learned that my project has been officially moved into Close Out phase and that alternative projects are being sorted out for my attention. Funny how things happen.

But today, yes, today, I am not well. I actually wasn't feeling too good yesterday. I popped a Tylenol Flu (Daytime) when I got up yesterday, had an Advil when I got to the hotel last night, and have had another Tylenol Flu today. I'm staying at the hotel just in case whatever it is that is afflicting me is communicable. I'm trying to do work from here, but I'm finding myself distracted by other things.

And get this. I've cranked the AC up to 77F (25C) but it just doesn't feel that warm in here even though I'm wearing two t-shirts and a (sure, light) sweater. And it's only now that I realise that the thermostat is sitting right above a lamp - so the temperature is somewhat warmer right there. Okay, time to upload this message and get on with some work.
