And so it goes...

Today is Valentine's Day. I have a Valentine. I am a happy girl!

My flu is gone and I am left with the residual coughing and sometime fatigue but I am back at work for the first full day since last week. But, everyone else here is now sick and out so it's oh so quiet here...

We are not getting snow right now. I put that as a point of interest because it is the first time in a long time when we haven't gotten any snow. But, there is snow coming and it should be starting just at the evening rush hour. Goodie...

So, in my sicktime I've found that you can find a lot of interesting things on the internet. HA! Not that I didn't know this before but I think the combination of lack of sleep, Tylenol and Robitussin made me find interest in some very strange places. I spent a long time looking at cat pictures for instance. Now that I think of it, they weren't even all that interesting. I also spent a long time looking at recipes. I think that's because for the past week I couldn't actually taste anything so reading about good food made me feel better. Ah, memory/emotion is a wonderful thing! I also nearly completed knitting a scarf. I'm just learning how to knit so it's a big, chunky lopsided scarf but I'm proud of it and will wear it with conviction (if I ever figure out how to finish the end of it...) I also sent out a ton of useless email. So far, my friends and relatives know that my cartoon persona is Elmo, that my musical persona is Lead Singer, that they can help fight hunger by clicking a link on the HungerTaskForce page, and that they will have 5 bad things happen to them if they don't send all of this to at least 10 friends. I have bought and sold my friends over and over again on Facebook and poked everyone at least twice. I've changed my desktop image three times only to go back to the painting that I had there in the first place.

Yup, that pretty much sums up my time. Happy Valentine's Day!
