Feed the Cold

Noticed my Nyquil induced hallucination the other day? Well, the bug I tried to squash with the Nyquil did bloom through Tuesday into a nice little cold.  As a matter of fact, I’m blogging right now to wait for Nyquil to take a hold so I can go to bed. My boss was nice enough to let me work from home today.  The extra two hours of sleep and half hour lunch time nap definitely helped me get through the day. That, and a pot of Yogi Tea, Defense with Echinacea, I brewed and drank all day. Along with the...

Not your usual holiday

Days gone by

Because of the timing of my Big Gala–and my self-inflicted funness that was Thrill the World–my time is running out before I head home for vacation.  I have to miss a few of my usual traditions around this time of year because I just don’t have the time or the right frame of mind for it.

Operation Jingle All the Way.  Usually...
