Dude. Dude. I did not have high expectations for today. I got almost no sleep last night, due to the Cough That Won't Die. Then, when I dragged my underslept carcass out of bed this morning, I discovered I was out of my prescription nosepray. So, after spending $30 on my asthma inhaler yesterday (more on that in a minute), I would have to ( Read more... )

Most people who know me know me as something of a foodie. I have the kind of palate that enjoys all kinds of interesting foods, ranging from spicy to more subtle flavors. I've never met a cuisine I've completely balked at ( Read more... )

Since Rockefeller Center is too good for ( Read more... )

Thankfully, the head/face pain and all the other sundry fun seemed to start clearing up immediately after I started taking the antibiotics. Huzzah! Also, for once, the antibiotics didn't completely mess up my stomach and turn me into an enemy of solid food ( Read more... )

So, they've clamped down on the internets at work. It's not a bad thing, really. It's actually a really good thing. Without the temptation of the great Digital SHINY SHINY, I've actually been super-duper productive. *sigh* I still have my blackberry, which includes twitter and gmail, to keep me somewhat connected. Of course, I would have ( Read more... )
