Gone East

Slow recovery

I'm feeling a little guilty, about my lack of productivity, as I suffer through the final stages of this cold/flu. But maybe I'm only kidding myself. Maybe I'm really still sick. Andy Ihnatko recently went through something like this.

Then there was the day I slept for 18 hours, then the next day when I woke up about six or seven hours later than I imagined I would (ie, about four or five hours later than I imagined I would have filed my newspaper column). And that was the weekend.

At least I have the sudden novelty of conventional waking hours. For nearly a week, my sleep cycle was perfectly normal, but only on that as-yet undiscovered planet where the day is 39.2 hours long. Here on Earth, it's a different story, but I now find myself waking up at around 4 or 5 AM.

It seems alot of people have been sick lately. Dave Winer, "Thanks to Vitamin C, echinacea and lots of rest, my first cold of the winter appears to be over ".
