Journal blinder's Journal: Hello? Mister The Plague? 14

so, i've been feeling completely run down for the last two or three days. so much so i left work around 2:00p.m. yesterday, when the headache started going from "hmm, that's annoying" to "better get the mop and bucket ready, cause my head is asplode!"

i thought, well, maybe its just the non stop work (both moving work and job work) -- but last night i was feeling that run down, achy, no-energy feeling. around 10:00p.m. last night sol and i took a turn around the park across the street (for those *not* familiar with victorian termonology "turn" means a "stroll"). i felt a little better and thought i was getting past it.

wrong! i wake up this morning and have zero energy. i'm still achy, still just feeling meh. i don't want the plague! i've got work to do!

i have job/project work... deadline is rapidly approaching. moving stuff needs to be taken care of (emptying sol's apartment). i have no time for this. but heh, isn't science funny like that? science doesn't care if you have time for it or not. it operates on its own schedule, and if science determines that you need to fight the plague, then you fight the plague. you don't get a vote.

oh well. can i take a nap now? curl up under my desk and sleep the day away? please? can someone come in and finish my application for me? please?

oh okay... i'll do it.

how are all of you doing anyway?

    Wahh! Everything happens to me! I moved to Boston and they have seasons WAH! I create magic with computers using arcane and sometimes frightening words and symbols, WAH I'm a modern-day wizard. Wah my SG isn't polished and my Porsche only has a half a tank of gas and ellem's laptop roasts mine WAH!

    Well, Mr. Typhoid. There was a flood here on Sunday. And my office smells of popurri and mold. Despite downloading and placing yesterday's Howard Stern into iTunes apparently
  • of a cold that nearly took me down last thursday night down here. I am at least averaging more than 4 hours of sleep these last two nights compared to the previous five nights. And if we weren't shorthanded this week and next due to one person in the office out on vacation, I probably would call in sick one day just to sit at home and watch dvds and nap.

    On the brightside, I nearly had sensory overload last night at the sports bar trying to play the usual nightly trivia games and watch 4 hockey games and a
  • get better.

    stewardess! i'll never fly this airline again.
  • are you eating enough and are you getting enough sleep ? Know that you have ignored both of these essentials in the past but you must realize that you are getting older and that your rebound is a tad slack. : )

    Happy almost Friday.

    • i think i'm eating okay. not great... but okay... and yeah the sleep. of course the sleep. not enough. really not enough. i need to get more. i haven't gotten a full eight hours in a while now. *sigh*

      i know... must do better with that.
      • Best advice: Grate ginger(or cut it up into small pieces or chew on it slowly) and take it with 2 teaspoons of honey. Do this 2-3 times a day. Cold, cough will all go away. Works very well. And the spelling's plague..
  • Looks like you are starting to develop the allergy to blinder. You know how to cure that.

    Or maybe you are allergic to the car. I'll take it off your hands for a small fee.

    Or you are both allergic to Boston. Time to head back to Baltimore?

  • Get some allegra and rhinocort. Stat.
    Wife was going through the same stuff on the tail end of a cold.

    In the meantime, snort a cup of water with a tsp of salt in it. (Snort half, being careful not to swallow, then gargle with the other half.) It sounds gross, but it works.

    But you've got some allergies, hombre.
  • To find out that both T1 lines are down. We have no internet and no phones. /sigh.

    Fix that, spend the next 30 minutes with the owner's wife (??) explaining that it works now. She wants me to be on call in case it happens again when I'm not there. Guess that means I get to talk to the owner about a raise.
  • I've felt like poo all week...just starting to get better and all that's going to be shot tomorrow when no less than 8 people are buying me drinks for my bday...who am I to pass up a free drink?

    Get better!
