Everything is [mostly] back to normal

I hope I don't jinx myself when I say that every thing is mostly back to normal. My illness is waning and there is only a residual occasional cough left to remind me that I am still not 100%. On another note I got so fed up with trying to use my cell phone as an mp3 player (with $ spend on a memory card that refused to work properly, $ spent on a 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphones adapter that was ill designed, $ spend on the headphones themselves which aren't needed now and $ spent on a memory card reader for my PC so that I could move music to and from the card. BAH! I have instead elected to get a "real" mp3 player from Apple (this "real" mp3 player being a refurbished 30GB iPod that can do the video playback as well. At least when I go on trips I can have the iPod for video as well as music and audiobooks, instead of lugging the laptop around in the car and airplanes. Being refurbished means that I save about $60 over buying new.
