Crankybloomers venting: If you KNOW you are contagious with whatever cold misery is going around, don't hang out with people at the social gathering, and for G-d's sake don't prepare food everyone is going to be eating!

So far three of us who were at Thanksgiving are now down with the crud. The plaguebearer's wife kept telling him to go quarantine himself in the bedroom, but he refused to listen. I'm going to kick him in the shins the next time I see him, if I feel well enough by then.

If you need someone to be stern with people apparently I am your girl. Roommate is non confrontational but upset by neighbors' loud party (her room faces them, mine doesn't). I volunteered to go over and yell at people. Seriously, folks, if you have a DJ and sound system set up in your living room, and have neighbors like, 10 feet away? Don't ALSO have a the windows open. Eesh. Talked to several people who were like "no I don't live here and I don't see the guy who does but I'll tell him" and I had to keep insisting I needed to actually talk to him, as I didn't want to have to say "well, I told some guy who said he'd tell you..." Neighbor was nice and reasonable, and closing the windows and keeping te music a bit quieter seems to keep it to reasonable levels. Yay.

Now, that's a roommately thing to do. Mine is down with a cold that she evidently got from Jilli's Thanksgiving, somehow.

I am seriously contemplating going to the 24/7 big grocery store, since I've already been awake for most of an hour and why the hell not.

The day after I moved to Boston, I grocery shopped at 6am. I had gone to bed super early for lack of any entertainment in my apartment, and exhaustion from moving, so why not?

Am glad I'm not moving today in the rain.

I strenuously hope this is the beginning of better weeks for many people here!

Timelies all!

Sorry so many people have had crappy weeks.

I'm up, coffee is brewing, I'm hoping to grade. Sent Isaac back to bed as he's been going to sleep at 10 this break and he needs more sleep. I'm not hopeful however that he'll get it.

Grace fell out of bed last night which prompted hysteria. The she needed suctioning part way through the night.

ugh! Not enough sleep.

Poor Grace. Poor Kat, too, sounds like a bad night for all of you.

Isaac is officially up. Oh well. At least the coffee is brewed.

I made it out to the grocery store, and even remembered to make a list and get everything that was on it! If I don't do anything else today, at least I've got that....

I must have been more stressed about that interview than I thought because I spent a lot of yesterday sleeping. I slept in until 9, accidentally napped from 5:30-9 PM, then from 2-6:30 AM.

tommyrot, I hope your dad heals quickly.
