so, I started feeling a little tickle in the throat last Wednesday, and thought it was post nasal drip. No big deal, get some psuedephedrine, and carry on with life. Thursday, full on sore throat and runny nose started. Ok, still no big deal, go pick up some over the counter cold meds, and drink even more tea than usual ( Read more... )

...like pulling a pair of jeans you haven't worn in over a year out of your closet and trying them on, just to see if they fit....

....and realizing you now need a belt to hold them up!  :D

And that's all I've got in me tonight, I'm stumbling off for tea and more studying.  Yippee...

You know, I used to love rainy days…really, I did!

Until this morning…

I get up at 5 am, my shift at work starts at 8.  It takes a little over an hour by bus to get to the store, but knowing the weather and how it effects bus travel, I plan ahead like a responsible young adult, and leave the house earlier than usual.  I get to the first ( Read more... )

So, I went to class this morning, and felt awful, so I decided to cut my other class and came home.  took my temp and I've got a fever of 102.8.  Not sure how that happened, but I'm tired, and achy and generally cranky.   and now my stomach is making rumbles that it's unhappy, and I've got a bitching headache (though I'm betting that's just from ( Read more... )

Given that Jenn as been uber busy the last few weeks with the start of fall semester and the astounding amount of asstardery at work, it's not surprising I've been a bit more scatterbrained than usual.  This week's adventure ( Read more... )

Manual labor at work.  Lots and lots of shifting books, moving shelves, squatting, lunging, lifting...ugh.  Legs.  PAIN ( Read more... )

Ok, the fall term starts a week from tomorrow.  Yaaay.  Law school has already started, so the suck has already started there, and they've been in session for a week.  Naturally, we've sold out of a lot of the books they need,and they're getting cranky because they waited until the last possible second to buy their books and have assignments due ( Read more... )

As I posted about last month, my uncle passed away. Now, he lived in an assisted living facility, and my grandma was his legal guardian since he wasn't legally competent to care for himself.

When he passed, grandma wanted to have a full funeral for him, a Christian burial preceded by a viewing and a wake, because in her mind, that's what's proper ( Read more... )

In order to relax and unwind before bed, I decided, a nice, hot bubble bath is in order.  (Note: When I say hot, I mean hot.  As in, my skin turns pink and mama says I boil myself like a lobster).  So, I run the water, pour in the soapy sudsy goodness, and slowly sink into bliss.  Then I lower my hands into the hot, soapy water ( Read more... )

I have been plagued with a headache for the last 4 or 5 days running.  Dunno what's causing it, but nothing touches it.  Thankfully, it's my day off and I can go curl up back in bed again.  But makes me sad because I was supposed to tidy up a bit.  Rugs need vacuuming, floors need mopping, and I haven't dusted it over a month.  Yech ( Read more... )
