Marcus Hamaker is The Sleepy Geek

What do you do when you’re sick? My wife and I went to the doctor on Saturday morning to get our ‘colds’ checked out, and we don’t have colds and more. What started as a cold has now turned into a sinus infection for both of us.

So we kept it to the bare minimum this weekend, which is still full of things for the kids. I just feel like I have been hit by a truck, and what’s sad about that? This is the point in my energy level when I lose the passion for what’s fun… of course I mean gadgets. Doesn’t matter how down or tired I am, usually I get a kick out of a new toy or sitting down for a read about things on the internets… but I look forward to my pillow tonight!

I can’t wait to read this next week when I feel better. It will be like reading something that was written by a guy who just drank a mickey!

Geek on! (if you can stay awake!)

It feels like the plague has taken over our house. My wife is down for the count with a fever and I am on my way. We think we caught it from the kids who bring everything home from their petri dish… I mean daycare. We took our daughter to the doctor today as she had an appointment already scheduled with her ENT (specialist) and after a clean bill of health we decided to take mom and dad by the walk in clinic. Verdict? We have strep throat. Booohooohooo. We have our anti-biotics and are going to get healthy, but before the doctor’s visit we were pretty sure that we just had a cold with a cough.

So what’s our choice? NyQuil! We love it because you can pretty much take it with whatever ails you, then you promptly go into a coma for 9 hours. AWESOME! The only problem is that my wife and I don’t like to take it on the same night in case something happens with the kids and night and we need a level head. So tonight isn’t my night. Boohoo!

Wish us luck, hopefully the Amoxil kicks in sooner than later.
