... and I spend the first couple of hours lying in bed with my brain developing and cataloguing solutions to various coding challenges awaiting me at work. On the plus(er) side I strongly suspected that the sore throat and cough I have been holding at bay most of the week would have taken this opportunity to settle in properly but instead it seems to have receded.
Still this week has been much better than last, as is usually the case after I have vented a whole lot of angst into my journal. I have been calmer at work and usefully also spent the latter part of the week working on a project my brain was also ready for. (I may have not-asked if there were any external projects needing my attention before starting on this bit of an internal project ... ). Knowing ahead of time that my D&D game wasn't running on Tuesday was also a relief and freed up valuable brain cycles not having to worry about prep.

jomas_45 for being a friend on Monday :)
The rest of today, to avoid spamming my FB wall with interesting links as I catch up with reading (and photo galleries), shall include at least some of the following:
Laundry (already washing load #1)
Perhaps some ironing
Gardening (green bin)
Offline-reading* and game prep
Finish setting up the "new" media computer**
~~~
* I haven't mentioned it here due to the convenience of FB but probably should - over the past few weeks a friend has been disposing of his dead-tree RPG collection and much of it has come the way of my library, including
- many Pathfinder Adventure Path Modules and supporting material
- An interesting looking (as in "I might run this") D&D3 module
- A D&D3 3rd party Bestiary (Monster Manual)
- D&D3 Expedition to Castle Ravenloft module (hardback mint condition still has the new book smell)
- AD&D2 2E DMs Campaign Guide and Catacomb sourcebook
- AD&D2 Ruins of Undermountain boxed set
- AD&D2 Forgotten Realms City of Splendours (Waterdeep) boxed set (mostly present)
- AD&D2 Ravenloft campaign setting (Domains of Dread) hardcover
Various print-edition Dungeon, Dragon, Polyhedron magazines circa 2001-2004
- "All the Worlds' Monsters" Chaosium generic fantasy RPG supplement, 1979 printing. Good or better condition, expertly durasealed (or equivalent) #collectorsitem
- A stack of RIFTS setting books and the hardcover rules, which I shall be passing on to an acquaintance but might yet return to my stash.

** Replaced the old computer which was serving the TV with another of similar age, slightly less powerful processor but 4x the RAM and a much better video card. Moved over the hard drive.
