Seriously? B/c I was using a water bottle to stretch my glute muscles. That's my "this fucking hurts" face.

Well, sometimes you get a totally serendipitous guh. It happens. ETA: also, a lot of it's the hair. See? Best hair ever!

so my right ear is totally blocked up.

This is what happened to me too. Fortunately it went away after a day -- thank god, because the last time I flew cross-country with a bad cold that feeling didn't go away for days. Bastard germs.

Oh, FUCK! I'm so sorry. Get better soon!

You too, babe. Sorry to leave you tomorrow, but I am Teh Dying right now, and also Gabe is calling me Vector, so I'm self-conscious about spreading this particular version of the plague to the rest of the office, especially while I'm feverish.

(side question - is A working tomorrow or will it be just me and E?)

A said she was "probably" coming in. Which sounds iffy. But I'm planning on calling her in the morning and telling her that I'm not, which may inspire her to come in.

(I had to tell several people that I'm not usually jetlagged, sick, and deaf.)

Ooh, yikes! Way to start a new job. Glad you're feeling mostly better, though.

Got your email, tried to log into Google, and it said that it was temporarily unavailable. wtf? I think I'm going to be asleep any minute, since I just took NyQuil, so I may have to tackle this mystery in the a.m. But tackle it I will! ::shakes tiny fist::

Oh, I'd be nice if I were you Empress. I still have your family portrait to work on...

Not you...ND.

Unfortunately, I've hit my flickr limit for the month, so I have to wait to post them.

Yes, yes, go to sleep! Let the healing begin! We'll figure it out later. Sweet dreams!

I have no ick.

I almost feel left out.

I wouldn't tempt fate if I were you.

You and me both! I'm likely to come down with it, though. It appears my daughter has the Ick and had it before I got home.

coughs on Aimee

My ick was fairly mild compared to others. I had a fairly bad sinus infection (but I've had far, far worse) and crap in my lungs with an annoying cough that made sleeping very difficult for one night (Sat). With meds, my sinuses cleared up enough so flying wasn't a problem. I felt very fatigued on Sun, Mon and Tues, but today I feel less so.

I'm starting to think there are several different icks running about....
