Late last week and through the weekend I had a borderline scratchy throat, but I couldn't tell for sure if it was allergies or a looming cold or just an odball thing from an exceptional night of snoring. Yesterday it peaked and I was almost sure I was coming down with a cold. God bless prescient 2011 me for stocking some beef boullion, and March 2012 me for pulling that part of my kitchen kit out of storage, because a) drinking cold drinks on a sore throat is contraindicated and b) guzzling coffee all day certainly wouldn't have been good either. Not that I got to sleep all night anyway. Seriously my winamp alarm schduled task fires at 6:30AM and it was after 6AM when I said whoa hey my alarm is going to fire soon lol. Then I managed to crash hard sometime between 6 and 6:30, and when I woke ~11ish the comspastic cablewebs were down again. That's something else that's been a growing problem, Sun Mon and today. I think whatever infrastructure work that had the water shut off (sporadically, not all day) a few days last week is now interfering with intarcables, because it dies midmorning (e.g. today right around 11AM) and then yesterday in the middle of random cable juggling it came back up right around 6:30PM. Today it was a little later coming back online, maybe a few minutes after 7PM.
