I had a nice couple of days, both of which involved fire pits. One was 433 and sithlet's housewarming party, which involved seeing a bunch of people I don't see much, and a lot of Rock Band 2. The other was a quieter gathering at dewey921's place for grilling and Salad Bowl. I found myself regretting the wood smoke exposure a bit, as Sunday evening left me with a ( Read more... )

Man, it's taking me a long time to get back into the swing of things. I've still not caught up on sleep. Last night, I got home and promptly fell asleep for three hours, and had dreams about trying to get into bars that were closed, and being forced to play a game of golf I didn't want to play. Gee, you think that might be interpreted as a ( Read more... )

Nope. Still feel too crappy to go to IAGG. Thus I am making tonight the earliest night in recorded history. Goodnight everyone.

Yes yes, I am still sick, but it's finally gotten to the point of manageability. I had to cancel on a friend's 40th birthday party. I had to miss the Vilification Tennis show I helped on. I'm out of soup and fruit and cereal and kleenex. I'm tired, but I'm tired of sleeping. I'm very disappointed in my weekend of sicko misery. I'm hoping I ( Read more... )

Now this, this was a crappy day ( Read more... )

Stayed home sick today. Maybe I could've toughed it out at work, but after hitting the snooze button for the eighth time I said no. Almost all I've done all day is sleep. It's not as much fun as you'd think ( Read more... )

I left work early today, as I have picked up some bug or other and feel like utter crap. I want to whine about it but that would be wrong, because, as I'm sure everyone knows by now, Bob "Roadkill" Aiken finally succumbed to his brain tumor last night. It certainly puts my modest acheyness into perspective ( Read more... )

Kind of a tough day, as I had a head cold headache for most of it. However, due to some psychological quirk I can't figure out, the day went by pretty quickly. Traffic was shockingly light on the way back (although traffic in the opposite direction [94 eastbound from downtown St. Paul to 694] was as grotesque as any traffic I've ever seen), and I ( Read more... )

Still contending with the cold. We are now in the headaches and stinging eyes phase. This cold is lame. It's not a bad one by any means, but it just won't friggin' go away. It's just enough to keep me from doing anything, because I don't want to infect the innocent or exacerbate it into something worse ( Read more... )

The smart part of my brain finally beat the stupid part of my brain into submission, and reminded me that I have Alka-Seltzer Cold Medicine.

Goin' to bed now.
