I have. It was quite funny actually. See, almost a week ago I went into the hospital for an operation that has left my left ear stuffed and covered with cotton and bandages and other stuff I don’t even know. As a result, I have been neglecting my iPod because I can’t listen to my music using headphones until the doctor says it’s ok to resume doing so.

Two nights ago I woke up early in the morning and for some reason I thought of my iPod sitting unused on the bar bed behind me, probably drained of battery. I remembered reading somewhere once—it may have been the iPod manual—that long periods of non-usage could harm it. I went back to sleep with that in my mind, and, apparently, it was troubling enough that it caused me to dream that I couldn’t find my iPod anywhere, fearing that I had forgotten to bring it from Europe where I just had been for a few short weeks. I then dreamed of my mother calling me on the phone to tell me I had left it there. Scary, huh? Needless to say that when I woke up right after that I got up and put it to charge.

Those of you who look after your Apple products as if they were your children can probably relate. The rest of you probably got a good laugh out of this, which is fine by me.
