Bleah, sickage.
Feb. 19th, 2003 07:18 pmOk, this illness can go away any time now. I coughed so hard I hurt myself yesterday, putting my upper back/neck/shoulders into serious knots. By the time Alt got home to hear me growl (the only voice I have left) "heeelllppp", I couldn't turn my head, and I was seeing colors if I bent over to pick something up. After a half hour of backrub, and an hour of hot shower, and two hours of heating pad, and a double dose of Doan's pills, I got some sleep. Unfortunately this morning, the Doan's hadn't worn off, and I felt stoned and had to lie in bed an hour until my head came back together enough to be safe in a car.
Muddled, whispered, coughed and growled my way through today. Went through the crap at the unemployment office (their job database doesn't even *have* categories for internet related professions), dropped off my taxes, got a partial-partial paycheck from the old workplace (they still owe me 1/4 of Jan), went by the bank, and that was enough for me. I came home and stared blankly at the fish for a while.
Yes, in fact, I *would* like some cheese with that, thank you.
It's "other" in the "every other Wednesday" dept, which means Alt is out doing rescue squad stuff, rescuing people presumably. Lorelei is out early, she asked to be tucked in at 8. Storm on the other hand is in her usual hour-minimum bath. I'm just reading journals, shaking my head, knowing I'll never catch up.
My kids are sweet. My new user icon came from this pic that Lorelei drew for me at school today. I think she really nailed the likenesses too. :) I gave her big hugs for it.
I had taken a bunch of pennies out of my center console in the car, so they would quit landing in my lap everytime I accelerated, and gave them to Storm. She was very excited. I asked her if she was going to put them in her treasure box. "No," she said smiling, "I'm going to put them in my savings, so when we move to a new house I can buy a BIRD."
Oh, cool, a bird. :)
Fifty minutes to go. Then I can lay down. argh.
