Slow and fuzzy-brained over the weekend due to a bad cold, but W- and J- kept the house in order. They even made General Tsao's Chicken, which is quite labour-intensive. We watched a few of the new DVDs I picked up during my library raids, too.

I think I'm mostly over the cold now. It was a good opportunity to update what I can do with different energy levels (see all my fuzzy-brain-related sketches). I think it's mostly about keeping my expectations low, and investing in processes and goodwill during non-fuzzy-brain periods. W- caught the cold from me. He's dealing with it far better than I did, but still, it's good to take things easy. My turn to pick up the slack!

Now that I'm on a proper operating system, I've been having fun writing little command-line scripts to automate bits and pieces of my life. I'm looking forward to building more of these pieces and gradually bringing them together. =) I should probably learn more about PhantomJS and CoffeeScript, too…
