I am on Day Three of Pounding Headache

Oh, Raq. That sucks. Head~ma to you.

::blinks. hits snooze button::

hmph

That does suck, Raq. I hope it goes away very soon.

WAKE UP!! START TALKING!!

YES, MA'AM!

Matilda is gorgeous, and that picture with her brother is too precious for words.

sj, much apartment~ma. Ugh. I was afraid this day was gonna come. I was just hoping it would be a ways away.

I need to shower, do laundry, and get to the grocery store, in no particular order. This afternoon I'm going to a BIG Canadian Thanksgiving dinner. I'm so excited. It's gonna be lovely. I'm making green bean casserole and yams. Mmmmmmmm...

It'll be nice to get out of the house a bit, since I've been pretty home-bound since Thursday thanks to this stupid cold. Finally feeling a bit better. Cough is still bad, but fever is gone and have a bit more energy. Although, that may have more to do with sleeping for like 13 hours last night.

Speaking of sleeping, I may need to start turning on the heat at night. I kept waking up cold the last couple of nights. I usually try not to turn it on till November, but I'm not sure I can take it much longer. I guess I could pull out the heated mattress pad instead. Either way, I need to do something before going to bed tonight.

Dinner sounds lovely, vw.

I need to go get dressed and go get breakfast (I decided I want blueberry pancakes, so I'm going to go get some) and then hit TJs.

I think I'm gonna hit TJ's after dinner this afternoon. I need some more quick and easy meals that are cheap. TJs' is what the doctor ordered.

I forgot to say that the Matilda pictures are gorgeous! Sara was so funny -- she saw them on the screen and was all, "Who's *that* baby?!"

I have never been to Trader Joe's. I feel so alone.

I'm going to tutor, then do a bunch of grading, then break it off with Girl.

Hopefully the nervous anticipation of the third part won't completely spoil my ability to do the first two. Yesterday was already wasted in trying to decide for sure whether to do it at all.

I probably will not hit TJs, though it is an intriguing idea. Too bad the nearest TJs is many subway stops away.

TJ's is not usually an option for me. The closest actually isn't that far away, but it's not very easily public transitable for me. But, since I've got mom's car, and it's right by where I'm going for Canadian Thanksgiving, it's a perfect plan.

I have to give mom her car back on October 18, as that's when she's allowed to start driving alone again and can easily pick it up. I'm gonna miss it. Although, I won't miss the gas prices (even though they've been going down).

ION, I am so completely disorganized right now. I paid bills yesterday, and I need to mail them. But, I can't find the address of where I send my health insurance premium. And, of course, the website only gives a phone number, which is COMPLETELY unhelpful till Tuesday. And the stupid thing is due on the 9th.

Me hateses them.

I'm at work, getting ready for the hellions next week.

Later, I need to go to the store, and get milk.

Then, I'll be moving a little more firewood into the house, and possibly hanging some pictures.
