Lent '09

Wednesday was the start of Lent and I decided to give up two things this year: soda and candy. Last year I gave up soda and candy, but I didn't include chocolate in with the candy, so this year I decided to give everything up. Now Jake's afraid that I'll murder him when I'm on my period because I won't be able to have any chocolate or soda (which acts like chocolate for me sometimes). I told him to just not piss me off and we shouldn't have any problems. :)

I'm excited because Max's Dairy Bar opened back up today! As soon as Jake finishes hanging with his friends, he and I are supposed to go get some ice cream (something that will probably save his life when I'm bleeding because I didn't give that up this year ;p). I usually get a Reese's Cup Cyclone, but since I can't have candy, I'm not sure what I'll get today. Maybe I'll mix things up and try something new?

Dreams

Lately, one of my best friends from when I lived in Florida has been coming up in my dreams. He's not there very often, but I've noticed him in a few dreams over the last month. For some reason, my brain thinks about him when I sleep, so I decided to try and get ahold of him and see if we could catch up on things.

I haven't seen or talked to him in over 4 years now and I can't figure out why he keeps coming up in my dreams, but I figured that it might be my head telling me that I need to try and talk to him again. I'm not sure if this is a positive sign or not, but I'm going to try and get ahold of him again so that we can chat.

I just hope that all of these years that have passed in between seeing each other hasn't totally ruined our friendship...

Nothing much going on

Well, it's Sunday and I don't have a whole lot going on. I should have started working on my 3-4 page essay that's due on Tuesday, but I figure that I can work on that while I'm at work tomorrow, so I'm not really giving myself any incentive to even start it today. Go me!

I'm spending another glorious Sunday sitting at my lappy in my pjs. It's really nice not having to get up and start running around right away. Quite enjoyable.

New development: Yesterday, I discovered that my "h" key kinda sticks a little and doesn't always respond when I tap it. I never realized how much I use my "h" key until yesterday, and it's really a pain in the ass to not have it working properly.

A few updates

I really don't have much to say except that my best friend in Florida informed me yesterday that she's pregnant, so I'm going to be a pseudo-aunt sometime around October!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so freaking excited about that!!!!

Also, "Bride Wars" is coming to the Wapa Theatre, so I might actually get to see that this weekend, if I can scrounge up the $3 that it costs to see a movie. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but I'm pretty poor right now because I've got a bunch of other things to pay for. But, maybe I could talk Jake into watching it with me and then he could pay?...Nah, probably not. lol!

Starting to feel better...

Ze plague seems to be leaving, finally. The sneezing started back up yesterday, but it was very infrequent, only appearing just enough to be annoying. My nose is still a little stuffy, but not too bad anymore. I can only taste about half of what I eat, and it's not always the good half of the flavor that I taste. :( Overall, I think that ze plague has almost been overthrown, but not completely just yet.

P.S. I don't want to be here today!

I have ze plague

I started feeling a little achy on Sunday because I couldn't stop sneezing and, for some reason, sneezing makes me ache. But, I took some medicine and the sneezing stopped, for the most part. I spent the majority of Monday sneezing becaue I couldn't take any meds while I was at work/in class for fear that it would make me drowsy/loopy and unable to concentrate even more than normal.

Last night/this morning, I woke up around 4:15 and couldn't get back to sleep until almost 7:00. That was pretty sucky. The major cause of my early rising was that I couldn't breathe through my nose, so my mouth got all dried out and that's what woke me up. Deciding that it might be helpful to drink some hot tea in hopes of clearing some of the junk out of my nose and throat, I went downstairs and made some tea. Little did I know that I would be up for the next hour and a half going pee about every 20-30 minutes! I won't be making that mistake again any time soon, that's for sure!

Today is a little better than yesterday but the nose is still taking turns being runny or clogged up. That's always fun. Sneezing still happens occasionally, but less frequently with every passing hour. With any luck, this funk should be gone by tomorrow or Thursday. At least, I hope that it doesn't interfere with V-day. Not that I have anything exciting planned, but I'd really rather not be sick and miserable on another "holiday."
