I suddenly took a turn for the better yesterday

I suddenly took a turn for the better yesterday. Though I'm a tad sniffly, I'm feeling much better.

I had breakfast with my mom this morning. I must be getting older, as I wasn't able to finish my meal. Plus all the heavy foods are a bit much for me - I'm snacking on carrots now.

It promises to be a pleasant Friday today. Things seem fairly low-key and I've sent off most of my work to customers to comment on. Hopefully a good weekend will follow.

I'm sick, sick, sick

I'm sick, sick, sick. Fortunately my runny nose has been quenched through the power of medication. Now I'm just a little tired as I work away this morning. Jamie and Sam seem unaffected, which is a very good thing.

I think I got about four hours of sleep last night. Around two in the morning, something woke me up and my brain immediately started thinking. Thinking bad. I got up, went back to bed, then got up again. I ended up fiddling on my computer for a long time, making new things for Neverwinter Nights. In the game, you normally can't jump, so I added a "jump" animation for PC's. It's fairly entertaining leaping over crevases. Yippie!

Server upgrade last night

Server upgrade last night. It started at 7:30 pm and was scheduled to go until 9 am if necessary. The good news is that we finished up by 10 pm, though it took me an hour to wind down and get to bed. I still woke up at 6 am this morning, my biological alarm clock ringing away.

I was interviewed for my Neverwinter Nights modules. Evidently people really like the latest one. Speaking of which, I'm going to go work on my fire breathing dragon a bit more . . .

I woke up around 2 am with a headache. No fun. I did have a dream that I was holding Emma and kissing her toes, her giggle bringing a wide smile to my face. It's things like that that make it all worthwhile.

I'm doing my mocha and Advil routine again, which seems to help. At least I feel exceptionally perky and can type really fast. Not sure if that makes up for the massive typos I make while typing. At least I hit the Backspace button quickly too.

Work chugs along, with gray dreary weather out my window. Everyone seems to be hibernating most nights, with our family cuddled together in the livingroom around the t.v., a fire going nearby. Can't wait for spring.

It seems like we've had a weird lull in everything this last week. Work is still in that holiday slow stretch, though I expect things to change any time. Jamie's still pregnant, smack-dab in the middle when she's not too immobile yet doesn't feel horrible any more. Sam's just Sam - wanting to play Star Wars with me endlessly.

I've recently gotten into watching Cowboy Bebop, a Japanese anime about bounty hunters of the future. Very well done, just oozing with style. They're pretty short, so I find myself watching one each day.

I also continue to work on my Neverwinter Nights modules. So far, I have 14,412 downloads of the first one. All five of them are up for the Hall of Fame, though I'm secretly hoping they doesn't win. Modules that stay near the top of the "top modules" list tend to get the most downloads. Once they're moved into the "Hall of Fame" area, fewer people see it. Right now, it's a close call for third place.
