A few hours from the next year, and I’m sitting here in my slippers and bathrobe, sipping juice. I woke up feeling markedly improved (no real fever today), but I’ve still got the cough and a bit of a headache from the sinuses. I was half tempted to go out carousing with Liz and Steph tonight, who invited me to…
I watched it for about 10 minutes, and then promptly fell asleep. A good two hours later, I woke up and saw the credits roll. I recall large chunks of ice, and the South Pole. That’s all I’ve got. Yeah. Welcome to my days. Slow blog day today. Hopefully, I’ll have a bit more gusto tomorrow. While I’m not yet…
One of the movies I rented was What Dreams May Come. I’ve seen this before, but for some reason I wanted to see it again. There’s something about this film that I really like, and I’m not able to put my finger right on it. Perhaps it has to do with the idea that we create our own worlds, that…
Heat went out again today. From about noon until 4:30, I holed up in the computer room where I’ve got a small, portable heater. Mike came and took a look, tried replacing some parts, and then called in the professional heating guys. Apparently, the pilot light wouldn’t stay lit. For most of the late morning, as I was sleeping… I…
Wyndom Earle officially announces his departure from the single life. Great story, too. Congratulations, Jeremy!
And I can get some dreadlocks going. Sheesh. When you’re sick, and you rarely venture outside, there’s little incentive to shower. Maybe this is just me, but I haven’t done much to maintain appearances. The few times I go outdoors, it’s half a block to pick up some orange juice.
Every time I cough, my temples hurt. Every time I sneeze, the muscles in my back flare up and it feels like pinpricks. Ooh, but right now, I think that Nyquil’s kicking in. The big plus so far has been that, during off hours, it feels like I’m on Codeine. That, or I’ve just taken a tremendous drag on a…
I haven’t had all that much food today. I munched a bit on some peanuts earlier in the day, and drank a ton of juice again. Towards the evening, I had two apples. No actual meals, but I scraped together a bit of this and that. For most of the day, I’ve been on the futon, under some thick blankets….
Why is it that, while I can’t seem to taste any food, I have NO problems tasting the horrible nastiness that is Nyquil? Sure, sure, regular food becomes bland the instant it hits my mouth, but this vileness comes in loud and clear. Bleh.
I drove back into town today, but I’ve spent most of my time huddled under blankets. I rented some movies, but I’ve just been slowly sweating out this fever. I’ve tried eating some, but I can’t really taste much of anything. So far, I’ve taken some Tylenol, which kicked in about an hour ago. I no longer get that dizzy…
