So i've had a miserable cold, with a sore throat as i was leaving California progressing through the common cold sequence and i am now left with the chest congestion: it's been on an upward trend since Thursday. Christine caught it from me, i'm pretty sure, and it hit her harder, but she's recovering faster. She did rest. I worked through the week, and the work was intense with several late evenings.

My lunchtime breaks where i would pick food from the garden were my daily highlights.

Yesterday afternoon i read Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shards of Earth, the "The Final Architecture" series. I was feeling guilty about loosing what was left of a pretty day to distraction until just moments ago when i realized I really should have rested more to let my body recover. I feel like i saw a recommendation for it, but i can't find it. I appreciated the universe building and history. Two of the main characters are veterans of a devastating war with super powerful and enigmatic planet destroyers. The war was two generations ago but, for different reasons, they both appear as they did then. I have a little itch about the character who slept for much of the fifty years and her ease of moving through the worlds: perhaps it's because the last fifty years have brought such technological and cultural change that it's hard to believe that the fictional fifty years did not bring similar discombobulation? But other than that, i did enjoy the read.

Gardening wise, I did get a dose of nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae, out in the plot to fight wireworm. No nematodes for book worms, please!

I am hoping that I will start feeling better tomorrow when I start the medicine to get my asthma under control. They said not to take it late today in case there are side effects like not sleeping.
