Welcome back
Well, I'm back I suppose. In a larger sense, I need to welcome myself back to blogging. It's been nearly three months since I bothered to write anything here. Why? To be honest, I lost interest in blogging. Well, in any case, I'm in a mood to blog again.
I'm really hoping that the laptop I ordered arrives tomorrow (Tuesday). It was ordered online last Monday, and anytime before Wednesday falls into the "5 to 7 business" days that HP.com promoted.
I have also fought off two colds in the past week. Last week sometime (I think it was Tuesday) I woke up with a sore throat, which has always been a sure-fire sign that I was getting a cold. I took a cold pill and a Cold-Eeze lozenge, and by that afternoon, I was feeling great. Then yesterday came around. I worked in the afternoon, then I went to a friend's (late) graduation party, which happened to have an outside setting. I was sitting in the grass for a while, and by 9PM or so, I was beginning to feel wheezy, so when I got home, I took a shower and a Benadryl, and I was in bed by about 1AM, which had been the earliest I had gone to bed in months.
I woke up at about 4:30 AM, and I didn't feel well at all. I could feel a sore throat. I again woke up at 7:30, and took another Cold-Eeze and a cold pill. I napped throughout the day, and finally had to go to work at 6PM.
I actually like working evenings more than my usual afternoon timeslot. Tonight it was pretty bust the first two hours, and when I got off my break, I had some work to do clearing the lot, but by 9:30, I was pretty much finished.
Now, It's 1:05 Am, and I'm still feeling some cold-like symptoms, so I'm off to take some medication and get some sleep!

What are the specs of your new laptop, out of curiosity? I suppose it's a safe bet that it'll be pre-loaded with Windows Longh...er, Vista.
Yes Andrew, it will have Windows Vista pre-loaded. Here are the full specs (copy and pasted from HP's web site):
- Upgrade to Genuine Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit)
- AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-58 (1.9 GHz, 512KB+512KB L2 Cache )

Also, I found out that since the laptop is a custom order, it wasn't built until Monday. I was given a FedEx tracking number; it was shipped from Shanghai, China and at last check it was in Anchorage, Alaska.
