Hippo, birdie, two ewes...

... to exapno!!!! Have a great one!!

Done yesterday (20110120 Th)

( raw notes )

Sorted and totalled the CD sales receipts - sold 62 disks, which isn't too bad for this far down the long tail.

I went out for a walk, but started having pain in both hips and my left knee. Realized that I was wearing the New Balance running shoes, which I hadn't used for a couple of weeks. Hmm. Around 5pm I started feeling as though I had the flu. Apparently the flu virus hasn't gotten the memo about "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."

On the way home I stopped at Lucky's for vitamin D and a couple of red snapper fillets. Yum.

Still feeling distinctly under the weather, I went splat around 10:30.

Not all that good a day, really, though I don't think my mood suffered much as a result. And I was pretty productive at work, which was a good thing since I stayed home sick today.

Hug a lemming?

It's been pointed out that today is National Hug Day. I haven't seen a meme based on this, but it seems like a great idea. Anyone who wants a virtual hug from me is free to comment here and I'll happily give you one.

Lemmings and middle-sized bears need hugs, too.

Starport power consumption report

The year's first utility bill was pretty impressive.

    Gas:  This year:  3.2 therm/day;  last year:  5.5
    Elec: This year: 25.5 KWH/day;    last year: 41.6 

... and I'm less than 10KWH into the top bracket, out of 740 total. That's, um... under 14W. Of course, we'll have to see what the YD's new TV and live-in boyfriend do to that total. But it's close enough that some smaller bulbs in, say, the garage and attic might make the difference.
