Oh, Sean, I'm so glad you guys made it!

askye, that is awful. I am so sorry.

Tomorrow I may tell the story of how vw ruined dinner in the best way possible, but tonight I'm too tired. But, quick...a spoiler: it took 3.5 hours to cook the chicken for dinner. We didn't end up eating chicken for dinner .

Well, if it was ruined, I'm glad it was in the best way possible?

I am curled up on my couch, warm in my down blanket. But I feel like I should go to the trivia night a coworker invited me to. He's very nice. I went last week and we won. But his friends (who were nice) won't be there, and his friend's friends (who were weird) will. Plus, getting off couch, driving, etc. (OTOH, trivia!) Hrm.

Yay, Sean and S for being in Houston! I'm sorry about all your travel woes.

I love the affect/effect conversation. Made me smile just reading it. And, I needed the smile.

I've been feeling puny for the past week and it exploded on me in the past 2 days. Coughing like mad. Woke up 2 times last night coughing so hard I puked.

Uck. I wanted to take a sick day, but I had some kids scheduled to do demo speeches today and I knew they brought in foodstuffs for said speeches and I couldn't let them down. I called my doc first thing this morning to see if I could get a late appt. today or any time tomorrow (day off! woot!). But, my doc is also sick, so they sent me to urgent care.

Turns out my mild cold set off a major asthma issue (I've never had a major asthma issue before and didn't know that's what it was). They wanted to give me a nebulizer treatment, but the only med they had is the one I'm allergic to. So, instead, I'm doing a home version of 6 puffs on my inhaler every 2 hours. Plus prednisone (boo!) and Z-pack.

I'm exhausted and really hope I can sleep tonight, but the doc warned me that I would probably have another bad night tonight before my meds kicked in good. And bade me hither to the ER if it got bad.

Eep, ChiKat, take care of yourself! Hope tonight isn't too bad.

Looking forward to How VW Ruined Dinner.

Glad you will be done with this class soon, askye. Lack of direction and contradictory instructions are no good.

Ack, ChiKat. That is no fun.

I am in Nashville. I am very tired of being in my truck.

I should be in bed. Instead I am coloring my hair and doing laundry. And contemplating what to wear to the bar tomorrow night. Meeting up with a bunch of high school friends.

Thanks, y'all. I'm gonna try heading for bed and see what happens.

Ginger, get out of your truck! Erm, well, you know, after you stop and turn it off.

I should be...um...anything...really...anything...but sitting here in a theatre dealing with cranky old actors on this damned Christmas show.

I spent the last two hours cleaning and reorganizing the kitchen. I is tired. Hungry, too.

I had sushi for dinner. That portion of the evening was yummy.
