The ebayed AC adaptor showed up today, and there was much cheer and rejoicing at House of Ace as the little green light came on in my laptop & it rejoined the land of the living once again. About twenty minutes later, it spontaneously turned itself off again as I very carefully moved it from the coffee table to the floor. Then it was back. Then it ( Read more... )

I don't have walking pneumonia! See, I knew it. Blahblah, severe bronchitis/infection, blahblah. But I guess I was heading toward "Borderline," so it's good that I went in and got the new pills.

Now that it's 90 degrees outside and I'm having an episode, I've decided to get all busy (manic) with moving my winter clothes into the guest room. After all, that closet space is going to waste. In doing so, I've reaffirmed the fact that not only are most of my clothes winter clothes, but I could go to a funeral every day of the week and not run ( Read more... )

Despite being so ill that I'm breaking into a sweat every time I move, I managed to get my friends to take me shopping today and bought 10 boxes for $10. BLISS!!!!!
