Confused
So, I've realized recently, I have no idea how to start a new relationship. The last one I was hoping for, well, I'm not sure what really went on there. Ok, not entirely true.

Rough
Feeling down today. Pretty sure it's related to the party. I mostly had a good time, but between seeing Jan, and all the people I didn't know, it was kind of rough.

So, this weekend was our annual Summerland Druid weekend. This was our...fourth? year attending, and our second working the kitchen. Always a good time, even with the added drama this year.

In which I blargh
So, last Wednesday, out of nowhere, my sinuses just opened up on me. Figured it was allergies, popped an allergy med, grabbed a box of tissues, and thought nothing of it. Thursday or so, it dropped into my chest. Some coughing, irritating, but not bad. Lots more coughing over night, kept jenn and I from sleeping well. Saturday, while were out ( Read more... ) -
