sickie
Had a good weekend but am sick as a dog. (What the hell does that mean, anyway?) Took a break from self-reflection to have some fun with friends.

Friday night Katie and Dave came over for homemade chicken soup (Justin made it!) and rolls. We ate a lot and watched some Bebop and then had brownies with fudge and ice cream for dessert. A homey evening. Despite the treatment and getting 11 hours of sleep, my cold persisted and even got worse.

Haven't done much this weekend other than write essays at attempt to wrangle my taxes and FAFSA. I gave up the financial stuff when I figured I couldn't do jack shit without my W2 which is MIA. I'm getting the other maintenance obligations out of the way NOW before other stuff starts pouring in. I feel like I'm selling out and pandering left and right. Tomorrow is the OV budget hearing with the PFC committee. Then I REALLy get to sell out. Yay.

Saturday night I dragged myself over to Murray's for homemade pizza with friends. I was feeling pretty shitty but after sudafed and aleve I was up to par again. It was also a quiet evening, all things considered (meaning only low-key drinking and no orgiastic nudity). We basically sat around in the living room and shot the breeze about anything and everything. Eventually I convinced Alex and Nate to come over and so they joined us and we all adventured to Safeway for ice cream to make milk shakes. Sadly, I was pretty much out of it and in a drug-induced stupor (albeit mildly pleasant) the whole time. Didn't get home till 2 AM. Still am not sleeping particularly well and waking up really WARM. Guh.

Today I did more of the same essay crap though I spend a good part of the morning wandering around and discovering that they don't make tank heaters small enough for my betta bowls. Finally, I said f*ck it and got some clip-on lamps for $10 each from Office Depot for cheaper than any of the tank heaters cost. I also picked up some more medicine, some plants, and thermometers for the bowls. The lights seem to be working nicely. At least I go to see some puppies and kitties on the excursion. I haven't been so pet crazed since Rupert (got bless 'im) came into my life but it's still nice to see the other furry aminals sometimes.

Anyway, this is getting far too long for me to be on here and not doing something else (despite my lack of posting entirely). I'll pick up with Belize and other maintenance tomorrow sometime. =D Mata ne.
