My one day work week is almost over. I could get used to this! Over half the office took the day off, and most people who were here earlier have already left for the day. My cold is still hanging on. I am taking a decongestant, but when I get home I'll switch back to the other cold medicine that isn't the "non-drowsy formula ( Read more... )

I am home sick again today. My throat still kind of burns, and I have to blow my nose every 5 minutes ( Read more... )

I have a cold, the kind that takes up residence in the nose, the ears and the throat. I am consuming Vitamin C in pretty much any format I can find around the house- Airborne, VitaminWater, orange juice, and actual oranges. Someone suggested zinc, but I've tried that once, bought some zinc lozenges, and they were so nasty I couldn't even finish ( Read more... )

As I've probably mentioned before, I work for a university, but not actually on campus. Our department is at a separate location, so I don't really have much interaction with the typical campus atmosphere/students/faculty, etc. But we aren't completely independent from the university, and (at least) once a day someone from our office has to drive ( Read more... )

Today is Frank's b-day. Yay. But we didn't really do anything special, other than him opening his presents, since we did it all yesterday. We went to lunch at Panera with his dad, and then in the evening went to dinner at NoFo and then went to Big Mamma's House of Burlesque. We had a group of about 10 people. The show was packed, but most of ( Read more... )

Tonight on Jeopardy was a total fangirl moment! First, in a category about Superman, there was a video clue read by Michael McKean himself regarding his (and his wife Annette O'Toole's) roles on Smallville. The other was a category called "Who's the Wife" or something, where it named a male celeb and you had to give the wife's name. The $2000 ( Read more... )

Best in Show has somehow entered the basic cable frequent rotation and suddenly become "one of those movies that's always on." Not that I'm complaining. It's just funny how I'll always stop and watch it even though I own the DVD and I could watch it anytime I want, without commercials!

I started scrapbooking the first cruise! This is ( Read more... )

I posted the pictures from the second cruise on Flickr. For those of you who are new to my LJ, the trip write-up is hereI'm still sick today. It's mainly a sore throat, with a slight stomach component as well. It's not the most terrible thing in the world, just enough to make me feel icky and tired and not wanting to do anything ( Read more... )

I stayed home sick with a sore throat today. It started last night, and I had a feeling I'd end up not going to work today. So this morning, when I decided to, in fact, stay home, of course I had these plans that even though I was home sick I would still be productive, and clean this and do that and put away stuff that's laying around and upload ( Read more... )

I am feeling a lot better, and I went to work today. I got a decent night's sleep for the first time in 3 nights. I would have gotten about 45 more minutes if *someone* hadn't knocked down my Chinese cat decoration thingy, making a really loud crash that jolted me awake at 5:30 AM. I never really got back to sleep. After work I came home and washed ( Read more... )
