the Z2K9 bug

My Zune got hit by the "bug" that went around on New Year's Eve day. I actually haven't used it for over a week since I haven't been to the gym in all that time. Can't go when I'm sick, and that's the only time I use my MP3 music player. I heard about the problem, and when I powered it up, it froze just like all the other ones reported on the internet. The fix? Just let the battery die, recharge it, and then turn it back on after Jan 1 of the new year. Seems to be working fine now.
I still have a touch of congestion, and a slightly runny nose. I feel almost 100% back to normal. I know I'm going to have trouble when I get back to the gym. My right knee feels like it's "seizing up" already. I'm going to have to walk before I run to get it back to where I had it. I'm hoping to be back to the gym Monday night, if I can finally shake the last of this cold by Sunday.
I made Hoppin' John for New Year's Day. Basically a black eye pea and rice dish. A traditional meal in New Orleans to bring luck for the New Year. Couldn't we all use that?
