Since I actually watched the Super Bowl this year, I didn't watch the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. I did, however, DVR it and have been watching it in bits and pieces ( Read more... )

It is 62 degrees outside. Unreal. It's also really windy -- my garbage can blew from next to the driveway out into the middle of the backyard ( Read more... )

Made it through a little more than a half-day of work yesterday before giving up and coming home to sleep. Today I didn't even try to go to work. I'm feeling considerably better now, though -- have only coughed up a couple of internal organs so far this afternoon. I do not do well with this "being sick" thing. A diet of Fresca and orange juice and ( Read more... )

I hope y'all are having more fun than I am tonight... I'm home fighting off some variety of Martian Death Flu I apparently brought back from Atlanta. Okay, it's just a cold, but Martian Death Flu might get more sympathy. ;) Actually, I'm not feeling that horrible -- just a sore throat and some congestion -- and I didn't have plans to go out anyway ( Read more... )

Good thing I didn't have New Year's Eve plans, 'cause I have a killer sore throat. I'm gonna sit on it (not literally, ya doof!) for a while and decide whether I think it might be strep or not -- if so, I probably should haul myself into Promptcare today rather than wait until tomorrow, 'cause they might not be open tomorrow with the holiday and ( Read more... )

Splitting headache, chills, achy muscles, upset stomach. This better not be the flu or something. And I really don't want to call in sick to work this week, although I'm also not gonna go in if I'm throwing up or something.

Ugh. *whine*

I godda code. Achoo. I hate summer colds, I do. Not that I enjoy them anytime, but it's just that much more pathetic when it's hot outside ( Read more... )

Mudpup yarfed all over his bed last night and again while I was at work today (last night I'm 99% certain it was because he was constipated; I'm not sure what was up today, but he seems fine now) so I washed his bed for the first time. It came out a little bit misshapen, but all clean. He just sniffed it a bit cautiously and climbed in and now he ( Read more... )

All afternoon I've been really dizzy and light-headed. I don't know whether it's from the congestion or whether it's from the cold medicine I'm taking, but in any event, I'm feeling reluctant to do laundry, since that involves going up and down the basement stairs with my arms full of laundry and potentially whacking my head on the concrete if I ( Read more... )

It's an absolutely gorgeous day -- sunny, windy, about 62 degrees. If I weren't sick, I'd seriously consider jumping in the car and driving out to Brown County to tromp around in the woods or something. As it is, I just got up from a nap. I bailed on brunch with valancy17 and another friend, because just getting up and showering and getting dressed took all ( Read more... )
