Stoopid July
Jul. 23rd, 2008 04:26 pmJuly has not been a kind month.
Things started getting hectic on the week of July 4-10. That's when I was working on the iPhone book like a maniac so that we could get 100+ pages of text ready for online release. Since? Crickets. We expected Apple to release us from our NDA on July 11, when they rolled out the SDK, but that hasn't yet happened. As a result, that work was all .... well not quite for nought, but at least not required at that level of intensity.
Then, two days after I finished my work on the book, I got sick. I've been on-and-off fatigued for a week and half since, plus I've had varying levels of concentration problems, sinus pressure, sniffling, headaches, and all that sort of fun stuff.
Yesterday was actually the first time that I felt like I had any energy in a week and a half. Whereas I'd been spending most of my non-work hours previous to that on the couch reading, I actually worked up some energy to make a banner ad for a friend last night. Not much, but it was something.
I've still got a lingering hint of a headache today, and am going to go visit the doctor soon if it doesn't clear up, but my energy remains decently good.
Very annoying. I sometimes wonder if I'm a wuss about sickness because I don't get sick very often, but this last weak and a half I think would have knocked anyone on their ass.
