Our last day in Vegas. And I took no notes whatsoever for this day, so at this point I'm at the mercy of my old and faulty memory. I do know that Nyssa slept as late as possible while I whiled away some time downstairs playing slots and drinking ginger ale. I bounced back and forth between Kitty Glitter and Da Vinci Diamonds, both of which let me ( Read more... )

Who, me? Well, maybe just a bit. After all, the Christmas tree is still up. Oh, wait, that's not unusual. I always leave it up until pretty much the end of January. And I have said it will come down this weekend at some point ( Read more... )

Arrived nicely on time in Vail, despite having encountered some blinding snow in the wee hours of the morning. Turns out I'm not the only one on Greyhound headed to Sirens. Having done this before, I know there's a shuttle that will come along to take us to Vail Cascade. Sure enough, just as I'm telling her this, it shows up and we're safely to the ( Read more... )

Am just in the nick of time. I think I did get some work done last night, somewhere between the sniffling, sneezing and using up half a box of tissues. This morning I just feel like my head is going to explode. Or implode. Who knows. I believe there may be a slight fever in there somewhere, too ( Read more... )

to logospilgrim for the gentle prodding by email. Yes, I'm pretty darn slack about posting to LJ. Oh, I draft lovely posts in my head traveling home from work but they tend to fall by the wayside in favour dinner and movie once I get home ( Read more... )

Just over a week, actually. Been pretty much deathly ill since I got home. Went to work sick last Wednesday and Thursday. Attempted to do the same on Saturday and came home as soon as I got there. Stupid idea, trying to work that day. Had a fever so high (no, I don't own a thermometer) that my eyeballs felt hot. Still have a wretched cough but am ( Read more... )

A while back lots of lovely friends posted tips on dealing with ear problems when flying. I can't seem to locate all this wonderful information, so I'm asking anyone who helped out with tips to post them here. I'd rather not arrive in San Antonio after hours of painful flying, even if I did tell amandageist that it would be easily cured by aspirin and good ( Read more... )

At least, that's how it feels. Bad, bad cold, fever, now a cough that's settled in my chest. I don't feel like death warmed over anymore, though, and I guess that's a good think. As bad as Buckleys tastes, I'm pretty much at the point of sipping out of the bottle instead of dirtying all the teaspoons ( Read more... )

Or not. The way I feel, I may well just die quietly on my own sometime soon ( Read more... )
