4 Unexpected Gifts From My 2 Week Cold

working while sick

It is the season to be thankful.  However, I felt far from it a few weeks ago.  I woke up sick one morning.  It was not COVID (at least according to my rapid test) and I didn’t have a fever.   I had everything else though – body aches,  headaches, sore throat, etc.

I thought I would recover in 48 hours.  I mean most common cold only last that long, right?  Boy was I wrong.  I felt worse after 3 days.  I started coughing and at night, my throat felt like I was swallowing glass. :-(.   It was worse than any common cold I have ever had.  I lost my voice almost completely and all my energy as well.   It felt like it would never end. ...  read more

How to Use ChatGPT to Feel Good About Yourself

Have you played around with ChatGPT yet?  I started last November when I first heard about it.    Hubby is now using it practically everyday.  I am still more of a novice.

  • I have used it to help me write a few birthday poems.  All I had to do was put in a few details about my friend and then I ask for it to make up a happy birthday poem.  It’s quite brilliant and fast.
  • I have tried to use it to find travel ideas and deals.  So far, that’s not been too impressive.  There is much more room for innovation there.
  • I have asked chatgpt to re-write my executive summary on my resume.  It gave me a few alternatives but none that I liked as much as my current one but it was cool to just see what it can come up with.

If you haven’t tried using ChatGPT yet, I recommend just trying it out.  It’s not always helpful but still amazing tech. ...  read more
