Sick Day.

I took a sick day this week, to nip a sore throat in the bud before it bloomed into a full-scale cold or flu. And a future post will be dedicated to how difficult it is to even take a sick day... and my belief they should all be called flex days, so that the many Puritan Americans like myself can be free to take one when needed (mental health, physical health, or just a "day").

But that day is not today.

Today I just wanted to note what I had around me while sick, for maximum comfort:

• One radio remote, to turn NPR on and off the fancy Bose wave radio.
  
• One Kindle with two books in which I am currently mid-read.
• One iPod and sound dock at hand, with accompanying remote. (Sound dock is not the radio aforementioned.)
  
• One laptop.
• One iPad.
• One personal cell phone.
• One work BlackBerry to keep a partial eye on the vital emails flowing in all day.

And so excuse me if I am less than worried about possible radiation while in Hawaii, starting two weeks from yesterday!
