Whew. A cold + jet lag is the pits.

…but I have gradually returned to the world of the living.  Thus far I have:

  • sent out eight or nine resumes
  • filled out misc forms related to being unemployed (COBRA, etc.)
  • sewn two slopers (and probably a third one coming) in the course of checking measurements for my pattern drafting software
  • figured out how to use PatternMaster:Celebrations and designed some custom patterns
  • finished weaving the first set of placemats (in the washer now)
  • made a big batch of cream of tomato soup (my favorite)
  • scheduled my first appointment with the personal trainer I paid for back when I was still employed

Not bad considering I’ve been half dead most of the time.

At any rate, I’m just about back to the living (though still sleeping 11+ hours/day),
so in the next day or so I’ll put up the rest of my China photos.  I need to do it soon, or else I’ll forget about it.
