Current Mood: satisfied

mom was here last week and did some spring cleaning around the house and in the garage, for which i am eternally grateful, and decided i should do some spring cleaning of my own, so i went in and pruned my friends list of people who A)i didn't know and B)who write so many ridiculous meme and etc. posts that they clog up my friends page until i can't see anything but their posts and then i miss the posts from all the people i really want to see, or C)had deleted their own accounts already.

i've been putting in hellish hours the last couple of weeks. hoping the next two will be sane and then i'll be in new york for a week and all will be right with the world.

i have been at work for 24 hours now. except for that one hour and a half between 8 and 9:30 when i went home. i want to sleep.

so far i have put in 48 hours this week. i'm not exactly complaining. i'm just tired and running on lots of adrenaline, and hoping i'm doing a good job, and that this thing will go off without a hitch. or at least only a couple of small ones. the project goes live at midnight tomorrow. and i'm on call. and my mother comes on saturday afternoon. i hope i can clean the house by then, because it's fallen into a massive state of disarray.

but somehow, i'm still in a good mood. i feel appreciated. and i will be in new york in 22 days. and that's a very good thing.

happiness is sitting in bed, watching tv and playing photoshop on my new laptop with my wacom tablet. :)

that is all, carry on.

massive changes in the arctic

ice is melting.
animals are getting stranded or trying to find new food sources.
hungry polar bears are coming closer to villages.
temperatures are rising and storms are brewing.
the winter night is no longer as dark as it once was.

we hear about global warming. we joke about warmer weather in the winter. to the Intuit, it's not a joke. it's real. it's happening in their villages. it is changing their way of life, in a very dramatic way, and they are warning us. will we listen?

Current Mood: thoughtful

i wish today was friday
i wish i wasn't sick anymore
i wish i could write as well as avindair!

the ugly:
having to draw a new bath, because the nice warm one with all the bubbles was ruined when i sneezed snot all over it before i even had a chance to get in.

Current Mood: but strangely happy

i'm sick.
it's a miracle if i go 3 minutes without sneezing.
and by sneezing i mean a massive explosion of snot.
i ache.
i worked from bed all day.
i will end up working this weekend, because there is work to be done and it needs to be done yesterday.

and i'm still in a good mood.

because in 38 days i will be in new york.
and i will be with my sweetie, who makes me laugh when i am sick.
and i will be on vacation. with me time. down time. just me.
exploring by myself during the day and spending wonderful time with my sweetie at night.

i can't wait.

i went to the doctor today, because my sweetie in new york said i HAD to if i didn't feel any better. predictably, they told me i had a virus, probably the flu, and told me to take sudafed. but they did flush out my left ear which apparently needed it and my ears do feel better. but DAMN that hurt. the older nurse who did it seemed to think i was a little kid. she kept telling me that i was a teeny tiny little girl with teeny tiny little ears. hrm. i yelped a couple of times. i think she felt bad.

strange tho. i always just thought i was imagining that ear buds were too big for my ears. they hurt. even on low, even if i've only worn them less than half an hour. and apparently it is because i have abnormally small ears. go figure.

Current Mood: sick

i've already decided not to go to work tomorrow as the achiness and spinniness haven't gone away. and i could deal with the achiness but the spinniness is no good. plus we have so many people in my department with babies i don't want to infect anyone. i hate calling in sick. it always makes me feel guilty, which is stupid, because i'm always the first person to tell others to go home and get rest when they are sick. maybe i'll do some work from home if i'm not spinny.

Current Mood: sick

i started getting that sick, achy feeling on friday. i lived with it all day, thinking that at least i'd have the weekend to recover. and then about 3 am friday i woke up with vertigo. full-on, room-spinning like i just drank an entire bottle of tequila vertigo. and i hadn't had anything but two excedrin. and that's still coming and going. debating on whether or not to go to work tomorrow if i've still got this thing. i don't wanna crash either in the car on the way to work or do something stupid like fall out of my chair at work. i've had dizziness before with a cold/flu, but never like room-spinning stuff.

so i'm not sure what's wrong with me, maybe a cold that's gotten into my ears? except my ears don't hurt. they did start to do that weird itchy feeling somewhere between my throat and ears today tho.

symptoms:
sore throat
swollen glands
vertigo
stuffy head
reverse fever - i've been like 97.1 all weekend.

drinking lots of fluids and taking zicam and finally picked up some dayquil today when i felt like i could make a run to walgreens without spinning out.

Current Mood: sick

i have such strange thoughts in the morning. vivid, yet blurry. thoughts in pictures. things that make perfect sense then, if not later. and i was thinking the other morning that those last few seconds in bed are just like crumbs left on a plate. absolutely delicious but never really satisfying. you can't bear to leave them, but they don't last nearly long enough.
