An Informative Day

I've learned about a couple of new things today.
First, Pandora.com. Barry showed me this site earlier this week, but today was the first chance I've had to really play with it. You can create your very own radio station based on the music you like. I saw Leon Redbone on the first season of Saturday Night Live and I liked him, so I based a station on him. You can thumbs up or thumbs down the songs that it plays and it will narrow down your station. So, the Leon Redbone station plays bluesy guitar with vocals music. It started to play some twangy country (Hank Williams) which I'm not a fan of, so I thumbed that down and it seems to be going a bit more jazzy now which I like. Pretty cool site. Now I need to make a more upbeat station for work. No downloads required!
I also learned how to make light boxes through Liberty's blog. There are some great cheap ways to make them. I'm totally going to make one for work. I'll be using to photograph my knitting too, of course!
I've been feeling a little under the weather lately. Nothing bad, but I'm trying to nip it in the bud before it gets bad. I can't remember if I told you about this, but last year around this time, I had a really bad congestion problem. Instead of getting congested in my nose and sinuses like normal people, I got congested in my ears. That lead to dizziness. Really bad dizziness. About once a day for 4 or 5 days, I had a dizzy spell where I couldn't move for an hour or two. It was terrible. All I could do is lay where I was and not move my head at all. I started taking decongestants because I'd had something similar but not as severe a few years back. When I went the doctor, he said I was doing the right thing and that it would just take some time. I'm afraid it may be starting again so I've started taking decongestants every day. Hopefully, it will go away soon.
