At least right now Tim Gunn is keeping me company.

[wisteria_]

As predicted last night, I am sick. Nothing to worry about -- just the average cold that I get once a year -- but really goddamned annoying while it's here. I called in sick for tomorrow, which isn't making me happy because we already have Monday off for President's Day. I'd been doing so well this year with not taking nearly as many as I have in the past! I suppose it's best to use them when I'm sick, given that I spend my days with preteens. But it all has me in a grumbly, congested/achy/sniffly mood tonight. And the icing on top: I just went to Steak 'n Shake because a cold is a perfect excuse for a milkshake; however, the otherwise-friendly drive-thru server forgot to give me a straw. Sigh.

All of the above has me in need of some cheering-up, if any of you are thus inclined. And I promise to (try my best to) reciprocate when I don't feel like death!
