Nothing like having a migraine lay you out flat most of the day. And then you take what you think are your meds and they don't seem to work. Only to find out an hour or two later that because your head was hurting so much that instead of taking your meds, you end up taking two vitamins instead. Yeah, that will help ( Read more... )

Went to visit my friends in Orange Co. NY today and we did a tour of some of the wineries in their area for some tastings. Found some really nice wines and came home with quite a few bottles. Got an absolutely lovely Reisling, a bottle of a delicious blush wine that is going to be perfect warm weather drinking, two different gorgeous red wines,  ( Read more... )

There's been a bug going around my office for a few weeks now and it seems that I am its latest victim. Have not been bad enough that I can justify staying home around the holidays (especially given that between people with planned vacations and calling out sick we've been extremely short handed), but I now officially feel like crap. Lots of ( Read more... )

So here we are on the cusp of another new year. Like all years, there were lots of changes, nots of ups and downs, people that passed in and out of our lives. I like to think that most of the past year was filled with good things. May family are all well and healthy. We have a beautiful home and I have a job that makes me feel useful in this world ( Read more... )

Nature is not my friend today. Sure, the weather is gorgeous and I'm way ahead of schedule and everything is pretty much done and the turkey is in the oven roasting away. It seemed like everything was pretty perfect except that we had the brilliant idea of putting the baked goods out on the deck (covered, I will insist) to keep them out of the way ( Read more... )

We got electricity restored yesterday and today I got cable and internet back, but we are in the vast minority. Most people in my area are still in the dark and go outside of our little island of light and it's positively eerie. My brother is only a few blocks away from our house and he still doesn't have power so they're spending a lot of time at ( Read more... )

Lost power last night. Best estimates are going to be at least a week before we get it back. Don't know.when I'll be back at work. Not enjoying this.

Am now hunkered down in the house to ride out Frankenstorm Sandy (And seriously... couldn't they have picked a better name for this story? I have a friend who's dog is named Sandy and it's hard to be scared of a little sausage of an Eskimo dog). We're all set - have lots of food, water and ice and I've already let my managers know that I won't be ( Read more... )

I is sick. Spent most of the day barking like a seal and now my ribs are killing me. Feel like I got run over by a truck. And it's only Monday! *buries face in pillow* Think that NyQuil and I are going to be best friends for the next few days ( Read more... )

The first episode of Supernatural season 8 airs in 2 days, and guess who won't be watching it? It's not due to my increasing frustration with what they've done to the show or to my favorite character but due to the idiocy of my cable company. They're having a dispute with the company that owns the network over payments (the network wants more money ( Read more... )
