Hi all --

I am feeling very marginally better today, probably because the hydrocodone cough syrup allows me to sleep for about 4 hours (until it wears off). Still feverish, still achy, my nose alternates between being entirely stopped up and flooding. bleah. Also a warning to anyone who has been around me in the past 6 days or so -- whatever I have is definitely contagious. If you start getting a sore throat, go to bed and stay there. Stay put even when you are feeling a little better. I think a lot of the reason I am so sick is that I tried to do everything I'd planned for the weekend (tutoring, seeing cgull_, and a birthday party), even though I was not recovered.

The state of the world is such that I would really like to be with my "tribe" right now, but that's not possible. Or talk on the phone, but my voice isn't up to that. So if you have a moment, let me know what you are thinking right now... here or in email. Even if it's really something mundane, or silly, or depressing.

I wish for peace.

Hello!
I'm making bread in the bread machine (almost done) doing laundry (almost done), washing dishes (about half done), plucking my eyebrows (done), and working on my book (nowhere near done). I am procrastinating about changing the litterbox. My cat just yawned widely. It's fricking cold in here, but then, I'm wearing a T-shirt. I had leftover pancakes for dinner that I made myself yesterday morning (half whole-wheat, with blueberries and raspberries inside). I think I'll eat some kind of vegetable now. My roommate is at Star Market. Oh, and fuckit, he forgot the bags for recycling that I reminded him about, not a second before he walked out the door. Space cadet.
That mundane enough for ya?
Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs!

Mundane, but entirely normal. That's what I need to see going on out there. Thanks...

Thinking.

I'm thinking that I called about 10 realtors today, and I don't like realtors, and I fear that I shall lean to individuals renting their own place over realtors renting people's places, even if it costs about $25 more a month.

I'm also wishing I could live nearer Davis, but it continues to not make sense, though for much more pleasant reasons, this time.

Also, I never said happy birthday. So, happy birthday! Belatedly.

Argh. I remember the realtor chase back in 1996. I got very lucky with the place I got in Waltham; I wonder how much it rents for now? $25 a month works out to $300 per year -- sounds worth it, to not have to deal with an obnoxious realtor (though the one I used back in '96 was actually pretty good...)

Thanks for responding.

I'm getting better, slowly. Thanks.

Well, I spent much of today sleeping, having felt dizzy and fatigued and blan upon waking. When I finally got out bed, around 2 pm, I did some laundry and geeked for a while. Marlowe kept meowing at me for attention. I was hungry, but I didn't feel like cooking anything, so instead I made the mistake of eating something like 10-12 Munchkins left over from Sunday night. Eventually Kimberly came home -- yay! We chatted for a bit and commiserated about how the state of the world is getting us down, and then around 6-ish I dragged myself out of the house and went to Diesel just so I could get *some* fresh air for the day.

On the way there, along the bike path, some guy on a bike tried to hit on me. It was really weird. He was this middle-aged guy with a buzz cut and weird teeth, striking up a conversation with me about my day, how I was feeling, did I grow up around here, where did I come from, how I ended up living here, all with me answering in as politely banal a tone as I could muster. The last question was my opportunity to get rid of him, though, since my answer to, "Why'd you end up moving here?" was, "My husband got a job up here." Bwahahahaha. That got rid of him within 5 seconds. >:-)

I got a burrito from Anna's and joined the Diesel crowd. Got to snuggle for a while with Trowa before he had to go. And I had an interesting conversation about poly-related things with curly-haired Paul and the wife of the guy that Liz has been seeing (I don't know her name). Got home a little before 9 pm, geeked a little before spending almost an hour and a half on the phone with my parents, and now I'm back to geeking.

Trying not to freak out too much about the imminent war. Bleah.

Good tales... even the guy hitting on you :) I guess having a husband is useful even when he isn't your husband anymore...

The wife's name is Rachel or Rach-ee by the way. I like her.

Hey. :)

I'm thinking about a sexy Springtime song, and my date last night, and Lunacon upcoming. :)

*gentle hug* Feel better soon.

OK... I will probably be at Lunacon, though I may spend a fair bit of the time hiding in my room. I figure that's all I'd be doing up here, so why not do it in a place where I can duck out to see friends if I want to?
