Warm and toasty, not yet but soon.

That space heater that smelled like burning kitty has a manufacturer's recall. There is a part inside that overheats and tends to cause fires. I sent the heater back with a pre-paid FedEx label. With any luck, while they are inside they will clean the cat hair out. Then I will have a 15-year-old like-new donated space heater to keep me warm on these ZERO DEGREE nights! Hopefully, it will still be winter by the time I get it back.

I still have a bit of a swollen tonsil, but no other symptoms. I probably should see a doctor before my entire body becomes infected, but it is a pain to get to the doctor when I am in the classroom 7:20-3:20 every day and commute with Joy the English teacher. I also am not into taking off work to go to the doctor when I don't even really feel sick. Should I ignore this?

I am still sticking to my workout plan, lifting weights and running the treadmill 3 times a week. Of course, there is still aikido 2-4 times a week and I will be biking when the weather gets back above freezing.

I am taking the money I save carpooling and setting it aside to buy a damn iPod. Other media bounces and skips when I try to run.
