By the Grace of God and modern chemistry …

Ugh. I feel like warm recycled dung.

I stayed home from work yesterday, was way too weak to go. I swear, Tuesday night hit me like a bright pink Pepto-induced concrete wall. (I never knew vomit came in Technicolor?!)

Whatever Jim had, and apparently still has, I now have. Oh the freakin’ JOY. (I wanna go back to bed :() Oh well, I’ll live.

The funny thing is, in my fever-induced stupor Tuesday night and early hours of yesterday morning, the bright idea hit me to write down whatever I was thinking. Unfortunately now I can’t remember any of it, nor can I read my own freaking handwriting! (If my head didn’t already hurt so damned much I’d knocked on my desk a few times.)

Oh well, at least tomorrow is Friday, so I can leave work early without too much grief. Someone was giving me a hard time this morning about being out, so I threatened to lick the coffee pots so I could “share” my sickness with everyone. :twisted:

Edit: I set my mood thingy at ’sleepy’ because I don’t have one for ’sick’ :P

Acapella Nintendo

I blatantly swiped this from Michael’s blog. How could I resist?!? So cute, yet so geeky: University of Wisconsin acapella group Redefined singing Nintendo theme songs.

That’s a keeper! :mrgreen:

Ugh…

I’ve felt horrible all day. My throat is starting to hurt, my sinuses fell like they’re full of jell-o, and my head is aching. Jim’s been sick for the last week (and still is!), and I think I’ve finally caught whatever it is he has. I feel like my brain is going to ooze out of my ears if I lay down …. mmmmmmmmm oozey brains

Jim’s ex has Jessie for the next couple of nights, so I think tonight will be “pot luck” and I’ll turn in early tonight. I had planned on posting my review of “The Forsaken” (vampire flick, surprise surprise!), but I’ll save that for another time.

Before I forget …

I had meant to post yesterday, but couldn’t be arsed so pthbbbbt! :razz:

We had dinner with my parents Saturday night. I got a nice shirt and shorts and a little ca$h. (YAY!)

Mr Politics (my brother *g*) was also there. He gave me a gift card to Proffits. (haha, I always thought that name was appropriate considering some of their pricing!)

YAY! Now I have an excuse to go shopping! :D

I spent most of yesterday being lazy. I cleaned out the kitchen cabinets. Jessie complained of being “bored” so I put her to work matching all of the tupperware bowls and lids together. LOL, there was plastic ALL over the kitchen!

She was more than happy to go join Daddy in the den after that, hehehe.

Jim’s been sick over the past week, and he had a rough couple of days this weekend. I think we’re going to hi-tail it out of here early today and head over to pick Jessie up.

Maybe we can even make it home before 6 this time … I’m starving!

Oh how bloody lovely …

Adobe announced today the purchase of Macromedia for 3.4 billion dollars.

Great … one more software package that I won’t be able to afford because a larger software bought them out.
