I feel .. better. Not quite human, but definitely more Morlock than shambling undead. I’ve stopped taking the zombie drugs and have since moved on to a relatively harmless cold/sinus formula that seems to have stopped the spigot and brought a temporary sense of calm to my morning. This is good. I can handle this.

We are likely getting a PVR this week – hooray! I’ll be able to record TV shows and not watch them! So handy. I’ve been bugging Ed for a while now to upgrade our digital box thingie, but he resisted because he hates giving into my requests. Last night though, we both spent a very long time trying to order the NHL Centre Ice package through Shaw only to discover that we can’t because our box is too old. Shaw told us to bring it in, and they’ll swap it out for a newer one that will just happen to have PVR capabilities if you plug a hard drive in. I have a 1TB external drive sitting on my desk acting as a paperweight, waiting for this exact scenario – so I get a PVR! I may have to try to use it for more than Simpsons reruns and Glee!

I wish I could taste things. I hate this part of having a cold.
