Is there some weird viral thing going around?  Seriously, in the last 48 hours, I've heard at least 5 or 6 people complain about feeling crappy, and for most of them, it's come out of nowhere.  [scenes of the film Outbreak flash through my head]

Well stop it!  Whatever is causing the malaise is spreading and my body is having none of it.  I know ( Read more... )

Dear Bee,

Ha-Ha!  I'm glad your dead.  And I hope it was a long and excruciatingly painful death.  You ruined a 30-year streak, you ass.  Yeah, that's right.  I've never been stung by a bee before.  And now my shoulder's sore, and there's a huge red welt where my bra strap would normally be sitting.

You suck.  I made it through years of camping, ( Read more... )

Dude, I have no idea why I’m so tired.  I am bordering on some serious exhaustion right now.  Ever since Tuesday, I’ve felt like I’m slowly being drained of all my energy, which sucks something fierce because I have a hair appointment tonight.  Sure, I stayed up late last night taking my braids down, but this fatigue didn’t just come out of the ( Read more... )

I’m sneaking.  Well, I’m not sneaking.  It’s my lunch hour.  But work is hellacious right now, and between pulling my hair out and scheduling an appointment to have it weaved back in, I’m doing 7 things at once that are simultaneously job- and “my life does not revolve around my job-” related.

But I'm taking a moment to offer up a brief overview of ( Read more... )

Not too much going on this week, folks.  This week could have been downright awful in terms of work and my ever-present, hellacious to-do list, but it wasn’t.  Instead, work was the most bearable it’s been in weeks, and my to-do list, albeit not complete, has not been neglected.  But I can’t say it’s been going well.  Because the moment you think ( Read more... )

• I have a headache that won’t go away.  It started yesterday morning (or was it Monday afternoon?), and it won’t stop ignoring my pleas for relief.  It’s one of those tension headaches that’s never quite a full-on headache, but at the same time, never seems to go away.  My left eye keeps twitching and jumping like I’m a sociopath with a nervous ( Read more... )

Why am I constantly hungry right after I go grocery shopping?  Am I eating simply because it's there?  I went grocery shopping on Saturday, and I think that I have yet to stop eating.  Granted, it's mostly small dishes and snacks throughout the day instead huge meals, but those who really know me, know "I'm hungry" is not a phrase I utter very ( Read more... )

Okay, so I said I was back from my working “vacation” last week, and then I disappeared again.  Sowwy.  Life’s been [insert descriptive term here] lately.  I’m not running on empty anymore, but I’m still running, so you know how it is.

Last week was more than its fair share of frustrating, so maybe it was a good idea that I hadn’t posted.  You ( Read more... )

Man, I don’t feel well.  I’ve felt sluggish in the morning for the last few days, so I thought that maybe I was coming down with a cold or flu or something.  So, I bought some Tylenol Cold medicine, O.J., soup, and milk (for my tea) to try and fight it from making any headway.  Well, the cold meds are making me light-headed, and I’m finding it ( Read more... )

Sheesh!  You'd think I've been rearranging furniture or something.  My shoulders and upper arms are aching like crazy.  Weird.  What's also weird lately has been my appetite.  This past week, I've found myself hungrier than usual.  I've eaten at least 3 meals a day for the past 4 days, which is not like me.  I'm more of a "1 meal and 1 snack a day ( Read more... )
