• While watching Bon Jovi on the Grammy's earlier, I came to the horrifying realization that my dad is turning 60 this year. 60. I'm still a bit flabbergasted at this. I know this is irrational but I never contemplated my parents getting old. Hit me like a ton of bricks ( Read more... )

Sadly I did not get to have my spa day today. I did however manage to get my laundry done so that's a huge relief. Especially since I had a mountain of clothes on my floor and we didn't have water 1/2 the day. I got an impromptu shower this morning when I was on the john and it suddenly started raining in my bathroom. My aunt's bathroom is being ( Read more... )

So my cousin and his wife are in the process of moving to Greece permanently. They had to give up their apartment, but they're not leaving until the middle of February so they'll be our house guests for the next couple of weeks. They've packed up all their stuff for shipping so their little one is staying with us for the night. She's 10 months old ( Read more... )

I was in a horrid mood today for absolutely no discernible reason. Try as I might, I just couldn't shake it off. I woke up just like every other day from a weird ass dream (I was trying to capture an albino garden sake *shrugs*), and things just kept getting sour from there ( Read more... )

Oy, I've completely screwed up my sleep schedule this weekend. I didn't get to sleep until like 5am Saturday morning. After waking up after 1 in the afternoon, we got in touch with Georgia and decided to meet up for lunch. There's this fabulous Colombian Restaurant near her parent's house on Long Island and I've been craving it for like 4 months. ( Read more... )

I had a hectic day back at work but I managed to get an awful lot done. Hopefully by Monday I'll be all caught up. My cold is thankfully waning pretty rapidly. I hope to be over it by the end of the weekend ( Read more... )

Feeling a lot better today thankfully. I still have the sinus pressure and a bit of a cough. My mom's caught this cold too though so we're suffering through it together. I went to the doc and got some meds but I think the worst of it has passed. I'm pretty sure I'm well enough to head in to the office tomorrow ( Read more... )

I ended up calling in sick today. It was totally the right call. I was pretty much comatose the entire day. This night-time Robitussin I'm taking is fantabulous. It works almost as well as Nyquil used to before they changed the formula. It completely knocked me out. Unfortunately, I was so out of it I didn't make it to the doc's office. Apparently ( Read more... )

BLERGH! I feel like death. I've been coughing my lungs out all day. It got to the point where I got physically ill from it earlier. I'm all stuffed up and my ears are incredibly itchy. I'm seriously debating calling in sick tomorrow. I mean I'm not so sick that I can't do my work, and my cousin will probably be out on Thursday and Friday which will ( Read more... )

I had a hell of a time trying to sleep last night. I was in a constant state of semi-consciousness. I guess I had a lot on my mind, but I really hope I don't repeat it tonight. In spite of it, I did have a pretty productive day at work. I didn't quite finish what I was working on but I'm a good bit closer to it. I just need my boss to come in ( Read more... )
