I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

I hab a cold, and my left ear is super-plugged. It is causing voices/music coming out of speakers to sound a) metallic and b) out of tune. Driving me crazy!

Sophia, I am pretty sure if we just hit people, we might feel better today. you start, let me know if it works.

Man, it sounds like that cold/flu virus is really getting around. Vonnie picked it up in Toronto, my friend Su in Chicago had it turn into pneumonia. My friend A picked it up in Atlanta, and a coworker got it in Cleveland. And both my mother and sister have it, and I'm sure my sister's case has or will turn into bronchitis.

Me, I'm gobbling up vitamin C and multi-vitamins: I don't have any PTO left at all.

Stay healthy, Buffistas!

Consuela, when does your year end/start for your days to restart?

I still don't think this is the flu, but a sinus infection is probable. I am calling my dr. shortly to see if I can get in. I ran my mile last night and did yoga for 15 minutes and it did not make me feek good at all, not worse, just no better.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

eep! No flu! I don't think we got Isaac vaccinated. Maybe we should do it now just to be safe.

Thanks for the article, Cass. I am certain that's the bug I found, less certain that it's the source of the skin irritation, but we will see. At any rate, it got us to really clean the kids' rooms and the den, so I guess some good came out of this mess.

And that coat is gorgeous! I can see why you're going all Gollum about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The flu is apparently brutal in Chicago this year.

I earn a certain amount of PTO per pay period, so it's not a question of resetting, it's just that I've burned through everything I had accrued, between moving my folks and the holidays. (Also, the new payroll system basically makes it impossible to take LWOP. Boo!)

In better news, I think this cake might be relevant to some Buffista interests.

I don't think this is the flu either, but my boss was telling me that several of her husband's coworkers (he is a physical therapist) are hospitalized with the flu. And apparently our hospital is diverting to another hospital (mostly flu)

In other sickie news, JZ's bronchitis is finally winding down after six weeks of horrible hacking. Lots of steroids and the extra tube extension on the inhaler seem to have knocked it back.
