Hey, guys. First off, thanks for the little "Get Well Soon" messages I got from various people over the last few days. You might've guessed from my last post, but I've been sick since Wednesday night. It didn't start out too bad...I just got the chills and then a fever, but then the fever wouldn't go away, and I got an excruciatingly painful sore throat along with it. Thankfully, nitrozsz and his mother were extremely kind and helpful, and did everything they could to help me through it. (Seriously, I was pretty much convinced by day 3 that I was going to die and needed to go to the ER, that's how miserable I felt. I owe them both so much for being so nice and taking such good care of me. ;~;) Sunday, I felt good enough to at least go to work...Sunday mornings are safe because for the first 4-5 hours, everyone's at Church, so I spent most of my shift just sitting behind a desk, making sure I didn't fall asleep. Today, I'm feeling a lot better, but my throat is still fairly messed up and I'm still feeling kinda drained...but that's definitely a step up from my former state.
Add to that, the fact that during a pretty intense thunderstorm we had while I was sick, our air conditioner apparently got fried when our power went out...so we were without AC for a couple of days. The AC repair guys were just here and said it was gonna take up to 4 days to get a new motor...BUT! They lent us a window-unit until then, so at least we aren't dying in our own house anymore. *3* (YAY~)
And the universe continues to balance out my crappiness with goodness--my pre-order of the first part of the Utena re-release came in the mail today (which made me SO happy--I thought they weren't being released until next month! WHOO!), along with a book trade that I did (I traded some doujinshi for one of the old Rayearth animation works/art books, heh). Pair that with the new AC bringing me chill air, getting a download of Lady Gaga's new album on Amazon for only 99 cents, and the promise of delicious pizza for dinner...things are definitely looking up now. Hopefully my throat will stop feeling so disgusting in the next couple of days, and then Zack & I can finally put the finishing touches on the new episode of KOR Theater. (And finally getting started on that new podcast! lmao)
Oh, it's also good to know I didn't miss the end of the world/Rapture. When that shit goes down for real, I want to make sure I have good seats with friends. And popcorn with REAL butter. (Because, let's face it, if it's the end of the world, I'm demanding real butter.)
