Happy Valentine's Day! Have a head cold!!!

*Explosive sneeze*
*5 minutes with Kleenex*

Shit....I have to go to work, too. I'm Treat Lady today. Maybe I can talk them into letting me out early.

I kinda had the welcome mat out for some kind of virus this week. Lotsa stress. I really did try to be good and eat veggies and drink herbal tea and go to bed early, but nope, nope--not enough. I woke up at 2 am, snuffling and sneezing. I feel like someone ironed my head.

At least this solves most of my angst about What to Do This Weekend. I know what I'm going to do...stay at home in warm soft clothes, drinking gallons of various fruity liquids and knitting until I pass out. I've been trying to train Bruce the Monkey to go get me juice, but he just sits there with this stupid grin on his face. Maybe I'll ask Jen to pick me up something if I feel bad enough.

*Honnnnk*

Good thing I got the Big Box of Kleenex the other day. I should have that sucker empty by tomorrow night. Easy.

...And Happy Friday the 13th...

...I kinda wish I had some back episodes of the old Friday the 13th series. (Affectionately known back in the day as "Antique of the Week") I used to watch that show religiously. In later years I even based a couple of small one-shot comics on the concept of cursed objects...I think I was thinking of what else Louis Vendredi had in that store of his.

I always wanted that store, too. Heh. I think I'd be a good Scary Antiques dealer:) and Micki always bad the coolest clothes. A fez, even!!! How cool was that?!?!?

Hopefully you'll have a good Friday the 13th...and won't buy any wooden nickels from a scary guy running a disreputable knick-knack store down the street...

*worry*

My coworker BabsMonkey's in intensive care with a kidney infection. Her boyfriend called me from New York to check on a package and asked me if I knew how she was. I didn't, and neither did the HR director until we talked to her boss.

Babs is one of my favorite coworkers. I really hope she'll be okay. I'm trying to see who can send something to her room....she can't have flowers, but she can have balloons and stuffed animals.

Poor Babsmonkey. I hope they take good care of her:((((((

A small list...

I'm feeling a bit better, though I am still definitely fighting something.

My coworker BabsMonkey may be released from the hospital as early as tomorrow depending on how her tests go. I hope so. It's scary to think of someone getting so seriously sick so fast:(

I have a sign on my fridge that Ben the Neighbor made me, to help get over some things that bothered me mightily. It was based off one he made for Jen last summer, over similar events. What's it say? Classified information, bebeh. But it really does help.

When I came home, there was two wonderful things in my living room...a box from Cynnerth full of books and goodies, and lovely sunlight coming in through the windows. I sat in the middle of the floor and put my puzzle/card together,enjoyed the contents of the box and soaked up the light. Thanks, Cyn!!!

Our new building manager seems like a nice person...thus the happy suprise of a box actually getting to my apartment the same day it got delivered. Wowwwwww....

I have a large bar of super-dark belgian chocolate from the Wedge sitting in my cupboard. It will not be opened until tomorrow.

Mausi's First Cardigan is going smoothly...I've got the first 8 inches of the back knitted, including a couple of inches of gray Kureyon at the bottom and a small damask rose fair-isled in on the left side. It seems to work so far.

I have a 3-day weekend. Much needed, might I add. I think a lot of it will be spent napping in the sun with an Eddie Poe anthology on my head and/or some knitting in my lap.

Soooooo...not overly exciting,; unless I go to the Closing Party after all and have to run screaming from the Minimalist Creature from the Depths of Dolly Fitterman's Front Lawn....or a pack of drunken critics, whichever. If I do feel up to going I'll bundle up like a good Maus, I promise. Now I'm going to drink a gallon of ginger tea and try to sleep...
