113. Seriously. Just get the flu. Wow, I lost 3 whole pounds just by getting sick and turning all my extra fluids into mucus that could be blown out or choked up! Easy-peasy.
So that went well. I got out of bed, and actually made the bed (to prevent any return) and put on sweats today. I did this because I need to work -- I'm like a week and a half behind. So, even though I still feel 70-80% crappy, I'm not dead, and I headed to work. Off I go to my office 30 feet away from my bedroom, and the office computer is dead. Well, fortunately, it was just the monitor, and I've seen this before, so I had a separate monitor in stock. But the whole dead-computer thing required moving all my office files. I wish I could explain to myself, let alone to the rest of the world, how it took me ALL day and half the night to transfer those files. And get the software working on the other computer. Of course I did have to call some IT help to figure out how to get the monitor to work with the dead/blank computer. And then I had to go get new software so that the files would actually work on my other computer. You know, it's not one thing, it's ten or twenty.
But the other computer is up and running and I have no excuse not to be working tomorrow. Plus I've updated/upgraded some stuff -- all good. You've got to check out the latest version of iTunes -- it's got a Home Sharing thing that would have saved my butt years earlier. And lots of cool new features. If my computers didn't go bad every couple of years I'm sure I'd never get stuff updated. But I'm just rambling about nothing now, more than usual even, so I'ma go.
P.S. I plan on feeling well enough for a walk tomorrow.
Did I not tell you that very thing - you were sure to lose pounds of snot! ha! I'm brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHad near-disaster computer event as well. Hard drive full - how does THAT HAPPEN!? Took 2.5 - that's right TWO-POINT-FIVE DAYS (!!) To upload all my files to the Mother Ship's transfer drive so I could delete some of the crap off my internal hard drive. Got it backed up on my personal external hard drive, too. NOW I can actually open an application or two. A bit more advance warning would be nice!
I think I'll upgrade iTunes, now.... you could be on to something.
