Immobility Redux

December 8th, 2005 Leave a Comment

It’s not my knees this time, but I once more find myself pretty much unable to move in any useful fashion. I must have done something pretty stupid to myself overnight, because when I woke up this morning, my neck and upper back were in a knotted mess of pain, stiffness, and misalignment. […]

It’s funny how much better life is when you have cats pin you down in bed for several days on end. I’m feeling significantly better, and quite thankful to have shaken off the worst of what by all accounts is the Cold From […]

Sick Daze

Ugh. I managed to quite efficiently catch Liz’s cold, so now I am enjoying a day of too-low temp, coughing, sneezing, sore throat, and overall blecchy gunk.
On the plus side, I have had some lovely naps (the cats have even deigned to bless me with their magnificent presence), played a bit of LotR: […]

So on top of being stressed out about the huge project I’ve been working on that might or might not launch this week, which kept me in the office until 9:30 PM on Friday night, and Liz being gone for the week for her class, and being ignored by the cats, this week has decided […]

I was really excited and happy to be heading up to Grand Beach, Michigan, for the three-day weekend. The weather was looking excellent. We’d be staying near the beach. The wine trail was abundant with tasting opportunities. I had been released early from work, and it was shaping up to be […]

Curse My Stoic Upbringing!

When I was growing up, I basically had to be a human petri dish full of streptococchus or spewing vile substances from either end in order to be qualified by my father to stay home sick. And on countless occasions, I witnessed my dad going off to work when gruesomely ill, because serving the […]

Sick Bears Are No Fun

So, aquamindy’s “head cold” that we have been trying to remedy for almost three weeks is really much more of a serious sinus infection. Which has caused acute bronchitis. Which is pushing her into asthma symptoms.
I hope today’s round of new meds actually puts a dent in this thing. I miss my favoritest […]

One Vacation Ends, Another Begins

Got the ‘rents to the airport for their flight home today. Haven’t heard anything from them yet, so I am assuming that the planes are doing their various airplane things and doing just fine. I would say that the house is quieter with half as many humans, but my folks are pretty quiet […]

A Small Note of Miscellaneous Things

December 8th, 2004 Leave a Comment

Haven’t posted in a while–been busy chasing after the kittens, taking photos, and trying to sleep while they play on us at all hours of the night. Oh, yes, and there’s that silly work thing too. The good news is that I had a Day Without Meetings yesterday; coupled with an extreme case […]
