A Small Report, Episode III

Not much has happened during the last two weeks. I've been struggling with the flu, but thankfully it seems to be just about over. The gym has been out of the question, in part due to the flu in itself and also because we've been having sub-zero temperatures and I've wanted to avoid complications. Last week, I still didn't do much anything, being too busy ventilating my sinuses and being generally tired. This week has been slightly better. I've done some painting (why oh why did I pick a translucent motive for my first painting?), read some more of my (third language) book and pretty much set up the Mediawiki (I at least get some practical practice out of it, even if I'm afraid that the Wiki itself will not catch on), and started on my next computer science book.

A Small Report, Episode II

Well, I'm sad to say that this week was pretty much a complete loss.

On Monday, a storm hit, complete with strong winds and heavy rain. (I read on the news that the storm had in some places torn off roofs from houses.) On the short trip home from work, I got soaked. In spite of planning to go to the gym, once I got home I did not feel much like that anymore. I figured leaving and getting soaked again, followed by working out for an hour or so, and then putting the wet and cold clothes back on would be a recipe for pneumonia. I could always go tomorrow, right? So I just stayed at home and wondered if the windows would break or not. Come Tuesday I had caught a cold, and still have it. That pretty much killed any hopes of going to the gym for the rest of the week, and many other things as well.

So I haven't done much anything this week. I've read some in the book I mentioned. In spite of a runny nose, I went and saw the newest Bond movie. (Meh.) And I've written this post. Always something.

A Small Report

Well, one week has passed by and I don't have anything else to write about. (Not true--I do have something else, but it is too much to get into right now, it will require at least one post completely dedicated to it, and it's getting late here anyway.) So let's see.

I went to the gym once, which was less than I aimed for but still better than nothing. I installed and played through Portal. I watched, um, six movies. I've read a few chapters of a book written in my third language; I'm counting it double for both reading and language training. I finished one CS (computer science) book, but have so far failed to start with the next one. And I've made some backgrounds and generally prepared for further painting. And now, I'm writing this short post.

I dunno. It felt like a pretty fun week, overall. And pretty busy as well, because I have done other things not on my list as well. My biggest disappointment is not having made it to the gym more than once, so I'll make it my goal to go twice this week. I'll also try to finish at least one painting, read a fair bit of the book I am currently reading, and cross off at least one more movie from my list. Maybe also write the post I mentioned in passing above, and maybe get started on another CS book. We'll see.
