40 degrees (32 degrees WC) this morning. No walk, still have head cold and cough.
I probably felt a slight chill last night as Winter arrived! However, I was probably asleep when it arrived!
Still trying to control the cold. If I had know what it was going to be like I would have seen a Doctor, or more likely, one of the “minor emergency” clinics last Friday or Saturday.
Somehow it seems I develop a little of everything, sneezing, coughing etc. usually at different times. I don’t feel super bad, but I don’t feel good either! Sleep seems to help most of all, although the home remedy for coughing of honey and lemon seems to work at times, and then suddenly not work.
I grab at straws when I start to feel better, hoping it is over. I do feel a lot better this morning, but….
Winter has arrived. Although it is supposed to be mild weather over Christmas, apparently a “Winter” storm will be coming next week. The only question is if it will be ice, rain or snow, or some combination of two or all three! Usual weather in other words.
I was reading last night the number of gadgets that are available, along with “apps” that can do about anything,
I think the problem is, every gadget or app, takes up a little more of your time. Of course it is somewhat self limiting, since eventually you simply sun out of time.
The large number of unused apps on my phone (which I need to take the time ti discard) is a testament to the fact that even time savers take your time.
For example, while I may occasionally misplace my keys, I don’t probably have any need for a “tile” to put on my keys etc.
For years, I have learned to use a “silent butler” and I put my keys, wallet etc. there. While the “tile” is a good product, for me, I don’t need it. It would be just one more thing to take care of.
There these is the “smart wear” that will make you stand up straight and one that will buzz you if you start to slouch. Might be useful, but I don’t think I will bother with it.
Of course “track your luggage”., again, may be valuable, but ….
There is one App I might like to try. It will tell you what kind of flower you just took a picture of! Since I am ignorant about flowers, but enjoy them, I think I will get that app and try it out.
I would probably be a little scared of the Amazon Echo, figuring it may be a spy and report back to Amazon so they can send you more “targeted” e-mails!
Interesting to read that SpaceX bought a rocket back so it can be reused. Whether it becomes something that is actually practical will be interesting to see. It is interesting to read about the private space companies, especially SpaceX and Blue Origin. What is nearly as astounding is that they have the money for such an endeavor. Of course, reading about it, a lot of it is lobbying the government for special favors and “advance funding” , but it still takes a lot to develop it.
Hopefully I am feeling better. I am feeling better now, but that has happened before. Since I probably won’t be in any shape to exercise before Saturday and then the storm is coming in, it may be a while before I exercise. Fortunately I am able to get right back into it, but I do miss exercising. Of course, in my current condition it would be literally impossible!
That’s it for now, Tuesday, December 22, 2015, the first full day of Winter.
