Damn, that sounds exactly like what I had in August. It never knocked me out completely, but I was feeling it for a month. I still feel like the congestion in my ears never completely cleared up.

Oh man, I canNOT have this for a month. I barely got through today, being all, "Wootoday'sFriday!" I hope none of my students thought I'd been drinking. Because that's how it feels.

I'm afraid that REALLY sounds like what I had. The ear congestion was so sudden - I turned over in bed and WHAM! one of my ears suddenly went almost completely deaf. The other one followed later that night.

I canNOT have this for a month.

It wasn't that I was sick for an entire month, it's that some of the congestion lingered that long. I was feeling otherwise OK (which was good because it had involved a seriously nasty cough in the early stages, then moved up to my head).

I had that happen a few years ago. Honestly, this drunken thing happens pretty much every time I get a cold, lasts about a day, goes away. I'm pretty sure this isn't a cold, but I'm hoping it stays to the same pattern. Meanwhile, there've been several cases of mono in school...

You okay, Empress?

Whoo! The flowers I ordered for Tom FINALLY got delivered to his office! I am the best Leap Day Wife EVAH.

I am the best Leap Day Wife EVAH.

you ARE! wait. are we supposed to do something? All I can find is if a man refuses a woman's proposal on leap day, he has to give her 12 pairs of gloves. which is kind of cool - but probably something that the trade association made up...

Not really, no.

Major tenant bounced a rent check so now payroll might not be covered. (Thankfully, I have direct deposit so I’ve already got mine.)

New tenant moved into her apartment with a moldy, dirty microwave and an oven that looks as though it was used for the cremating of a small animal.

Same new tenant found what she called a crack pipe on the upper shelf of her closet.

I’m sick of working for companies that are constantly short on funds and never seem to have a back up plan and/or get pissed off at me because there is no money.

I can’t manage money that isn’t there, ya know? If that tenant hadn’t bounced the freaking check, we’d be right as rain. So shut it.

I can't wait til I can teach and the money comes flowing from everywhere!!

Wait. Fuck.

wait. are we supposed to do something

Heh, no. We just have a Leap Day Thing. I proposed to him on Leap Day '04. He said yes, so no gloves for me! But it was worth it.
