Smooth

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Wow, things went well today. Slept in. Got out of the house around 11am. Went to the post office to mail my tax forms. Went to the bank. Walked by one of my favorite restaurants for vietnamnese pho and there was no line! (Shocking, for a place that is ALWAYS packed.) So I popped in […]

Drained

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Finally, I am done being sick. It’s taken nearly all month to get over this illness. The last two nights of being sick were terrible, since the moment I lay down, my nostrils completely blocked up and refused to budge for hours no matter what I tried to do. One night I sat up until […]

All night I was tossing because of a killer sore throat. Each time I swallowed it was like someone was jabbing into my neck with a screwdriver.
So I’m […]

Good news, bad news

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

So the good news first? Two manuscripts of mine got accepted for publication. One yesterday and one today. On a role, baybay!! I just doubled my publication list in 24 hours.
Bad news? Woke up Monday morning with a sore-ish throat, which progressed to myalgias, arthralgias, cough, and by nighttime I had a fever. Tossed […]
