meara,

this is a woman whose brother was the groom.

if I knew the bride or the groom I would pry. And extend my apologies for prying. and pry some more.

So, I've been sick since last Sunday, spent most of last week out of work flat on my back napping lots. Mostly just chest congestion. Today, back at work, was the first day I spent all day at work and also the first day I spent most of it nauseous (but with less hacking coughs). Is that just because I'm upright and the mucus is settling in my lungs, or did I just get afflicted with something new? I had zero nauseau except when taking too many vitamins at once on an empty stomach in the week prior, and now I'm raiding my directors candied ginger stash (and subsequently craving sushi).

Too much consumed snot makes me queasy. And being upright means it is more likely end up in my digestive tract than when prone.

The cats are wild tonight. It sounds like a herd of goats thundering in a circuit on the second floor and then down the stairs.

Sushi craving used to be a migraine pre-cursor for me. Back when there was more pre- time. Now, not having a bad one one is all the indication I get.

God Italian Job is mesmerising. I love that magic cast. Also, heists. Negates the Wahlberg. I saw this with LAistas, I remember--at Mann's Chinese, and the movie uses a location next door. Weird sensation (see also Crazy Something Love and Gross Pointe Blank).

Can you have lunch lactose intolerant? I'm trying to work out what at lunch makes me coughy and phlegmy. It's not the pasta, not the seafood, but I had fucking whipped cream with breakfast, and I was fine and uncongested.

I have all the snot answers tonight! I've had the phlegm rebound effect from particularly rich dairy. Usually doesn't kick into full effect until a couplethree hours later. Greek yogurt will do it to me.

And now I have to blow my nose because I got way too much water up my nose in the pool tonight.

Sending get better vibes to mac. Poor noodle!

We may be getting a new kitty tonight! I know it isn't even a week since our other kitty died, but I went on petfinder, JUST TO LOOK YOU GUYS, and then I saw this guy: [link] So we contacted the foster and she's bringing him over tonight and if he gets along with our crew, well, we got ourselves a new cat!

Okay, that at least makes me feel better about feeling worse.

Tried a little outdoor work, but anything involving bending over gave me the dizzies. Probably isn't good when all three members of the hort department are in the office on a beautiful day. And then I had to stay until 7pm for a neighbors meet and greet and give a garden tour. On the plus side, several board members said it was the first time they had a comprehensive and professional tour of the grounds. So fucking sad, I've been here for five years, and two of those board members have been here for longer.
