Update on Grams

[fenrislupa]

I am buoyed. I talked to my grandmother this weekend. She went to the doctor and found out her cancer went from a '7' to a '3.' The docs say this is really great! She unfortunately had a terrible allergic reaction to the second chemo and had her heart doing weird things. They took care of her though and she's home relaxing. She'll have another

OMG Talk of the devil.. and he shall come.

There's a kid that has swine flu at work. They are leaving us so unprotected.. so far we've been sanitizing the crap out of everything. I feel bad for him, because he seems genuinely sorry and apologetic about having to even come out of his room to shower. T___T OMGSWINEFLUISHERE.
I hope I don't get it or they won't let me go to Korea.. I saw there are many measures to try and screen people for it.

I've been putting in stuff for Korea since November. I just haven't landed anything yet. I even had a really nice American teacher putting my name out there amongst schools to go teach over there. So far no luck.
I'm just visiting my dad. I wanted to go for a full two weeks, but my boss is cutting off 3 days of my vacation. Mainly because he said there's no coverage on Thursday, so I'd have to come back on a wednsday and lose Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.. *sad face* The tickets are cheapest end of may/beginning of June.. And my dad my leave earlier in July.. so it cuts it a bit short. Unfortunately Vayama was cheaper than lessno. Lessno has an amazing fare, but it requires a 14 hour layover or some such ridiculousness ( it was like 7pm till 2pm next day).

OH NO. If you are not already, you should really consider wear a respirator at work then, one that is N95 certified. I will keep my fingers crossed you remain well! :(

Vacation time is good. I have pretty much been talked into going to FaerieCon in Baltimore for November. And I have lots of little short day trips planned for summer. And hopefully I can go scope wedding locations soon.

I'd have to buy it myself and at this point I've already been exposed and I don't even know how long. he's come to our area like last week. They won't let any of the kids do things outside of our area.. I'm taking extra vitamin C. The nurse said that the virus likes to destroy cell walls which are created by vitamin c, so taking extra will help rebuild the walls and help from getting the flu some.

Yah it is nice >.< If only I could get June 11th!! o.o Also if I had even more time I could hit up Japan for one day! The ticket to go to multiple places is the same price as a round trip to one place. o.o *SIGH*

Any website for FaerieCon?

Hopefully the plane tix for Baltimore won't be more than $250 roundtrip (I'm most likely flying Southwest, but they don't sell their tix that far in advance, so I have to wait and hope on those), and I'm probably sharing hotel fees with 1-3+ other people, and gotta buy event tix and for costume I will probably mostly build on things I already own, I should have most of a bad faerie costume, haven't thought much on the good faerie costume yet. Mostly I will need wings and masks, maybe more comfortable yet awesome shoes (I have vinyl stripper-type heeled boots which would look cool, but I better get some flats so I won't be in agony).

If you start feeling like you have definite flu symptoms, promise me you'll go to the doctor right away, because if you start treatment in the first two days, it's a lot better at getting it well and quickly, before it can mutate more and before you can spread it yourself to too many people. But I really hope you won't get it.

Really hard to tell before the symptoms are ridiculous. I have allergies so bad.. that until I got the fever and body aches.. i really wouldn't know. Also I don't know if I'd be able to get an appointment that fast >.<
I've actually gotten two different flus last month or so. One was a stomach flu and the other was regular flu.
