I'm still not fully recovered from my cold. In fact, last night I went into a coughing fit and that wasn't pleasant at all. I've been on the fence as far as work and rest are concerned, so I've been putting more emphasis on rest today. I haven't been consuming anything except hot drinks, because anything could send me back into a coughing fit.

Regardless, I was still able to get 2 - 3 hours of practice yesterday in addition to jamming with my band. I haven't been studying a lot of new material, but I've been making some progress with Yngwie Malmsteen's "Arpeggios from Hell". I didn't really set out to learn the whole thing, but I will be working on memorizing the repeated segment.
