Weekly Update:

Two major things to note this week:
1. first bout of sickness in over a year (last one was Jan 2013) headaches from dehydration (gone now that I've been sucking down fluids all week), sore throat from the air quality (also improved with fluids), and a hacking smoker's cough (which seems to be getting worse). I slept off and on all day on Monday but since then I've had energy to do other things like working, reading, writing letters at my desk, and making my own soup.

2. I am now a proud owner of an iPhone 5c! It's.... fancy, shiny, all-around nice. It's definitely different from the old phone, but not much different from the iPad (which I already have) except I can call people from it, hold it above my face without fear of looking like a pug if I drop it, and fit it in my (back) pocket. (I tried the front pocket but it looked ridiculous, so back pocket it is!) Still open for name suggestions. Gender not yet specified.

Names already taken:
Harry (Laptop)
Bernard (Computer)
Prince Fred (Typewriter)
Manuel/Manny (Mandolin)
