Good lord. How could a cold kicked my ass for THREE days! I did go to work this morning, having felt peachy when I left the house. But then there was the waves of fever that never quite broke. There was higher and lower fever. No break. I just sat there, staring at my monitor, not registering anything. I believe I got some stuff done and sent some emails. That much I remember. My head hurt, then went numb. Like my brain was floating inside an oven I called my skull. By the time I felt my face flushing, I...

That little scratch in my throat knocks me on my butt for two days with headaches, fever, and cough. Go figure. A lady approached an Army reservist in his camouflage uniform, patted him on the back and said, “Thank you for defending our country.” He replied, “Yes, ma’am.” How much better you feel when you give in to what your body is calling for. In my case, it’s the made from scratch chicken soup. I dragged myself to the store yesterday and forced myself to stay somewhat awake through the afternoon to babysit a giant vat of soup. Why putting...

People who drive in the fast lane on the freeway going at the speed limit while everyone else is going faster AND won’t get over to let faster traffic pass. Same people in the carpool lane with a dozen cars stuck behind them AND won’t get over to let faster traffic pass. Self proclaimed health nuts who looked down upon you for enjoying bacon and butter but they go out to tan in midday sun without sunscreen. Same health nuts going all organic and fat-free but drink like alcoholics. Scientology. My former work place. Occasionally, my current work place. Extremists...

On my bus last night, one of the ladies asked the other, “Have you been to the Fresh & Easy market?” “Oh my god, YES!” I chirped in. “I LOVE the place!” The lady looked at me, stunned for a second. “Oh, I was going to say the opposite.” Apparently, that might just be the opinion of most Americans of the brand new “neighborhood markets”, a creation of Tesco. The LA Times reported a few days ago claiming that the sales at F&E were 70% off mark. Folks don’t want to change their shopping habits. The lady on the bus...

My car is now in the shop. I dropped it off last night and no only I didn’t get the rental car as promised, I didn’t get the courtesy shuttle ride either. Nobody told me if I get there after 6 p.m., the rental car place is closed and the shuttle service is over. Oh and they called me this morning, they asked me again if I wanted the fuel injection service. I said no already. Sheesh. Like that is not only enough aggravation, Brandon has gone and done this. ETA: Now that the day’s over…and trust me, part of...

Before we left the house for the night of festivities on Thursday, I explained to Justin about my “Anti-Boy Goggles”. There is a difference in how guys treat me on nights out when I wear my usual glasses versus the contact lenses. Not that I often get hit on–I mean, what guys in their right mind hit on a flat-chested plain looking girl with glasses–but I feel like I go under the radar with the glasses. It’s like a cloaking device. Without it, suddenly people start to notice that I am around. Totally the Superman/Clark Kent thing. Glasses on, you’re...
