My hips hurt this morning, especially the left one. Which is unusual, because usually it's the right one that aches when I'm feeling my age ( Read more... )

I’ve been thinking about going back on my anti-depressants since about mid-summer. I was hoping it was just that I was miserable working at The Place and commuting into Boston. But it’s been pretty clear the past couple of months that wasn’t the whole problem. Since we’re going into SAD season (we change the clocks next week and things will be ( Read more... )

I’m finally feeling somewhat better. There’s still quite a bit of coughing going on, but I’m coughing up less phegm, and the coughing is less uncontrollable. Last week I was coughing until my diaphragm hurt. This week I’m coughing once or twice, and that’s it. I’m hoping I’ll be feeling more like myself soon ( Read more... )

I went to bed about 9:30 last night (and then read for an hour, so I really didn't go to bed early after all, D'oh!). But I didn't take any Nyquil last night, and I feel better this morning. So I think we're on the upswing now ( Read more... )

I finally went into the office today. Damn but it was cold outside! I should have worn a jacket. It’s definitely not summer anymore. Brrrrr ( Read more... )

I didn't end up watching the debates last night. I just didn't think I could stomach watching The Donald bluster and scowl and point for 90 minutes. Thankfully I have a couple of friends on Facebook who watched it and posted all the good bits. That, and watching a couple of highlight videos on the Washington Post and New York Times and I feel ( Read more... )

Coughing up plenty of phlegm this morning, guess I'm working from home again.

Great, because I really wanted to start a five week run of renn faire with a bad cold.

I worked from home today. Most of what I’m doing right now is reading through reams of New Hire Orientation, and I can do that in my jammies. Also, spreading germs to my new co-workers doesn’t sound like a good way to make a first impression ( Read more... )
