Man, I feel like such a junkie. Spaced out a lot. Popping pills all the time. Not getting my work done. Etc.

See, there are worse things than the flu. I'm going to get better one day soon. And I'm not going to need to go to rehab. And I don't need to worry about getting arrested. Swell.

So what do you think... really bad head cold = swine flu? Or just really bad head cold?

Josh is on day four and mostly better, after 3 days off work last week. I am on day two and very tired, after 1 day off last week. We both had our seasonal flu shots a while ago.

Either way, sharing a cold? Still not as romantic as it sounds...

I think I need to get more exercise. During our trip, it seemed like we were walking around all day every day, and I really liked it. Yes, it made my feet hurt something awful, so maybe it was a little much, but mostly it was great. I was afraid that when we got back, I was going to feel like I needed a vacation after our vacation, because it ( Read more... )

( Volleyball stuff )

Of all the crappy ass days to be too sick to go into work.  Now I seriously wish I'd voted early.  Then I really could stay home/in bed all day.  Blah. 

I went to bed at 9pm last night, a half hour or so after Josh, and didn't get up until 9am this morning.  I didn't feel rested before that (Josh tried to get me to go have "breakfast" with him at 6:30am because he was hungrier than he was tired, but I was too tired for that).  Josh kept me up some, with his sneezing and wheezing, but not that much ( Read more... )

... but I wish she knew a bit more about sewing.

A few years ago she gave me this pattern (and accompanying fabric) for a nice garment that really wasn't my style, so I never made it.  But it is just what I need for Halloween this year, so I am making it now.  Now I'm sure she thought that a pattern with sizes 6 through 12 would, of course, contain ( Read more... )

Did I mention that Josh and I signed up to play Volleyball with people from work? Anyhow, our first practice was today, and driving over there I was thinking to myself, "Why did I sign up for this? I'm going to have a horrible time and then feel bad about quitting but worse about staying on the team," but instead I had a really really really good ( Read more... )

I've done a significant amount of work on the desk the last 3 days (like, multiple hours each day), including a lot of use of the power sander. To update, when I started this evening, all the "outside" sides/front/back are done to 180 grit, and the inside "sides" were done to 80 grit. My goal for tonight was to do the inside "sides" to 180 grit ( Read more... )

Josh and I cleaned up the office today. It's been a wreck since... oh, pretty much when we moved in. We also moved my (old) desk out of here into the library/sewing room and the love seat in to take it's place... since I'd rather compute on the love seat than at a desk. It's nice in hear now that it's clean and organized ( Read more... )
