Recovery...or not...

After two days of all over general yuckiness known as "the flu" I have to admit that I am grateful the vomiting and other nastiness has ended but I can't shake this fatigue. I'm at work right now and quickly regretting my decision to try to get some work done. My boss, just back from two weeks relaxing in Canada, walked into my office and said "You look like shit!" How's that for a "good morning"? But he's right, I do. I have large dark circles under my eyes. I am pale and feel...well, yucky...again.

I'm going to try to tough it out until noon and then go home and sleep some more. Noon seems an awful long time off though...

The flu...

I've got it. And it ain't pretty...

Of Mucinex and new glasses...

So last week I finally lost the good fight staving off the germs of all the sickos at work. These people...I swear...ALWAYS come to work when they're sick and act like it's a badge of honor that they made it. I wish they would just stay home, get well and leave the germs out of the office. But they don't. So I got it. Double ear infections and a cold. But, I'm happy to say, I am on the mend and feeling much better after some antibiotics and Mucinex. I do not, however, want to see a bowl of chicken soup again for a long time.

I know that in the past I've stated that I love snow and I do, really, I do. I am somewhat over the awe and wonderment of winter though. It's been damned cold here and the days just drag ass on so, yes, stick a fork in it, I'm done. Winter takes too long. I know it's because I am living in anticipation to February and beyond when Alex and I can get the immigration train rolling. I hate waiting and waiting in the frigid cold just makes waiting all that much worse.

One good thing happened. I am getting new glasses. They look like this.


I haven't actually got them yet but they should be in next week. I was sick when I went to the eye doctor so I hope my choice wasn't clouded by my Mucinex/Biaxin cocktail!

Just plain BLECH...

Today at work a water main burst so we were without running water and working plumbing all day. Leave it to me to have an upset stomach and just general nastiness today. With toilets, I had to keep running home through out the day. Luckily I live very close.

It wasn't pleasant. I'm just glad it's over and I've heard the ability to flush has once again been restored to the peaceful kingdom.
