So I was sick for awhile... never did pin down exactly what was wrong though I'm figuring it must've been the flu as it's not uncommon for that to hang around for 2-3 weeks. Though the one flu symptom I didn't have was coughing, and if it were the flu, I'd have thought Mike would've caught it too.
I had went to the hospital to get checked out; they drew blood, made me pee in a cup, and the diagnosis came back all clean. The rash/bite on my leg turned out to be fungus the doctor told me. I was like "HUH?" That's not anything I've ever seen before. Apparently, our bodies always have a bit of fungus in them, but it's kept in balance by the other things. Except when your immune system is down, like mine was, then it can take over... this is what I understood from what she told me. So she gave me a prescription for some cream to put on it. So at least I'm feeling better now and that darn thing on my leg that I thought was a lyme disease rash is just about gone.
But just as I'm getting over all that, some BookCrosser on her moral high horse decides to dis me publicly... well me and a couple other crossers/relayers. See
this thread in the BookRelay forum. You'll see I come forth on page two. But anyway, she starts spewing off a bunch of bullshit and twisting things to put her own take on it and claiming it as true. As if she's got a freakin' clue! Unfortunately, I still have to deal with the bitch over on Club VLAD and though morgaine made me a mod there, I wouldn't use my "powers" in retaliation of a personal vendetta she has against me. But there's a bunch of us who just wish she'd go away and get a life. It's sad when someone like that has nothing in their life but books... no friends, boyfriend, husband, etc. and thus has to become so obsessive about some things, and be such a busy body trying to cause trouble. Freakin' bug!
Now I'm also dealing with hardware problems with one of my servers here at home, the one that serves as my Internet gateway, as well as a Windows Directory Server, DFS (Distributed File System) server, DHCP server, and so on. So I've had to implement some temporary workarounds while I get another server built to provide the Internet gateway and then I can rebuild the content from the bad hard drive onto a new one.
When it rains it pours!
Fortunately, I've got Halloween/Samhain and my birthday to look forward to... try to keep this winter depression away!
