So I decided that I had a chest cold which became the flu which became a head cold. I mean became in an abstract sense, not in some actual viral mutation sense. Anywho...

Fun Things I Plan to Do Once I Am Well (In no actual order despite the numbers):

  1. Clean my apartment
  2. Bake lots of cookies
  3. Drink things that aren't tea or TheraFlu like:
    • Coffee
    • Wine
    • Beer
    • Tang
  4. Hang out with the friends I haven't seen
  5. Be able to be social with the friends I've just made
  6. Cook meals
  7. Clean my car
  8. Work on my recipe book
  9. Take a fun trip
  10. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you

History of a cold/flu/grossness Dec. 20th, 2009 @ 09:34 am
I have been sick for two weeks now. Up and down. It started simply enough. Very tired, a little sore throat. The next day I was feeling much better and thought I had kicked it...and then Tuesday I started descending again.It gradually got worse until last Saturday I had a mild fever and barely had the energy to stand. The following Sunday I made it out to lunch with people but spent most of the rest of the day chillaxing. Last week, it was gradually getting better until Friday night, when my head got a mucus injection and I have basically been unable to breathe since then. Seriously. This is not cool.

You must be a tree because you're making me sappy.

Ugh. I want to climb back into bed.

I'm starting to seriously consider NKU. I admit that part of my interest is the fact that it would be easier to get into than UC...And it would be a less stressful application process. And my app wouldn't be due until July, where as if I apply to UC, I need to be stressing about right now. The problem is that NKU's program is more for part-time students with full-time jobs. But there are graduate assistant positions and a curriculum for training people to teach college. I requested more information about what that entails, so we'll see what happens.
» Pet Issue
I have decided to get mice. I have the space for mice. Sure...they'll be less fun to play with and I'll have to be more careful with them...but whatever. Better than nothing
» On pets
I'm pretty sure I don't have the space or money for a pet, which makes me really sad. I had my heart set on a cavy. I thought I could settle for mice or a hamster but when I went to the petstore and looked at the mice, they were cute but they didn't set my heart aflutter. I might as well get fish if I was going to get mice.
» Thursday Morning
I saw a picture of a girl who's this person I always kinda wish I was but what right do I have to her life?

My kitchen smells like old coffee and the floor needs to be mopped and swept and I want to curl back up into bed and watch the rest of Quantum Leap Season 3 but instead I will get up, make my kitchen smell like fresh coffee, do a devotional and try to convince myself that the pain in my shoulders is paying the price for my sin of eating too many cookies and one ill-conceived biscuit.

I'll pay my bills, change a bulb so I can drive with two headlights, go to work and work so that I can feel like I'm making a difference, actually accomplishing something. Then I will finally get home late tonight, watch Quantum Leap and pass out without a thought of Friday morning.

Last night I dreamt I woke up a different apartment...but in my same apartment complex. The one I woke up in, though, didn't have a bath tub, just a really tiny, tiled, gross-gym-locker room-style shower and the toilet was out in the open. I was really frightened about how all of my stuff got in there...but then learned that my landlord had moved everyone in my building in the middle of the night and then demolished my building to put up a futuristic, cafeteria/restaurant thing where.


Then there were aliens and old people and mole people, etc.

» Freeing my Mind
Watching Independence Day for the umpteenth time, I had two thoughts:

  1. Why does Will Smith know where Area 51 is when the president doesn't even know it exists? As soon as I had this thought, I heard his line, "I saw a base when I was flying over." I'd never heard that part before.
  2. When the president is learning about the aliens from that one captured alien and was being all, "Can there be a peace?" Of course the alien is going to be all, "No peace. You cut me open you motherf******." It's kinda like if the aliens caught Will Smith. Will Smith has no authority to negotiate with foreign countries, let alone alien species. And I know the aliens are telepathic but don't tell me that even the grunts know exactly what goes on in the leaders' heads.

I'm always useless once I get home. I can't even muster the energy to bake.
» Writer's Block: What if calories didn't count?

If a magic genie told you your calories wouldn't count for 24 hours, would it change what and how much you ate that day?

Yes. Yes. I am about to go grab a handful of crackers right now...but today I would've eaten:

  1. About 5 more pieces of chocolate
  2. A bowl of beans
  3. A second huge piece of pie
  4. Another handful of crackers

Signs I am really sick:
  1. I left the house without earrings.
  2. I left the house wearing shoes that looked horrible with my outfit b\c I didn't have the energy to rinse the sand out of my other pair.
  3. I didn't have the energy to check out the library's book sale when I went to return my books.

But I'm going to try to focus on positive things. Like, I actually feel less like I'm on the verge of vomiting right now and think I might actually get some work done. After I lie down for a bit.

Oh! And I now, for the most part, know when to say "lay" and when to say "lie." I like to know the rules well before I break them. ("Lay" requires a direct object but what's really confusing is the fact that "lay" is also the past tense of "lie" - this is why it always got me in trouble.)

» To those who believe everything they hear...
Respects everyone's right to their own political opinion. But I think all of the polarizing bullshit on both sides has got to stop. Stop listening to the bullshit and get the facts before you get your panties in bunches over anyone's propaganda. I'm not saying that I'm 100% up on things but it's really frustrating for me to see so much stink being made by ill-informed people.

(That being said, most of the people I know are very intelligent and educated as to why they have their particular political convictions.)

Also, this post is very vague. Assume what you will.

If I wasn't so poor, I would go see Kevin Smith in Chicago.

I had a crazy, crazy weekend. It was like sick --> crazy party boat --> sick.

I've written 2178 words (less than four pages) of my novel which is pathetic, considering that I've been staring at it all weekend.

I should go take a shower. I'm worried there may still be traces of the Ohio River in/on me.
