March 2011
addendum:
I did take a full round of Amoxicillin for a flu-induced sinus infection with the hopes that it would also treat the cough. At that point there was no indication of bronchitis or walking pneumonia (both of which have been my chronic pattern, but usually in early winter).
I am, however, calling the doctor to get listened to again tomorrow, because jeebus on a stick with butter, if I’m...

Heh...heh... she said "bouncing rhythmically..."
I keep hearing that this flu that came through NEO in February and March was the nasty one with the lingering cough, and I can attest to the truth of that.
It’s about three(? or maybe it’s 2? let’s do the time warp agaaaaaain) weeks later and I’m still coughing constantly unless I’m holding a cough drop in my mouth. Consequently, my mouth is full of tiny cuts and my...

Things I Do When My Wife Goes Out of Town
In today’s episode, I make popcorn!
Love. Rich. So. Much.

Full of equal parts fried food and regret.
One of these days I will listen to my body and not choose to poison it.
I wish
you guys could smell the blueberry almond muffins with coffee cake crumble topping that are baking right now.
Oh, my.
Overheard on the boob toob:
“Kids give you a reason to get up in the morning.”
Response from my chair: “they give you a reason to drink at night, too.”
“Don’t give me that “free” shit. I spend eight hours a day listening to people...”

I made baked orange-shoyu-sesame-tilapia, Jasmine rice, sautéed carrot, asparagus, and snow peas with garlic and ginger, and curry roasted cauliflower with peas.
Contradictions. Dichotomy. I don’t know.
There are words for this.
Whatever.

ronbailey's Laptop
yhf:
This morning, Ron Bailey posted that his laptop died. This is more than just an unfortunate inconvenience; it directly impacts his income, as it’s how he makes his living.
Ron is a good friend to many, and a good-hearted individual in general. He’s organized Pledgie drives for others in the community before, and, well, one good turn deserves another. All donations go directly to Ron...
You know your little girl is feeling much better
when she pitches a wannabe preteen hissy fit at bedtime instead of climbing under the covers without a word of protest.
You know what else?
I didn’t miss her at all.

exactly… <3
Remember how I said I was feeling much better yesterday, and so I didn’t see the doctor for myself when we took Lila? Yeah, fever’s back, head is all jammed up, throat is sore, tummy is all horked up, and my entire body feels like it was used as a dance floor last night. There is a river of funk flowing through me.
Glutton for punishment
Why, after suffering through five days of flu would I begin watching Survivors on Netflix?
Yeeesh.
Omygah
With the fever chills and everything hurts so much just put me out of my misery can I have some morphine please?
Thera-Flu tastes like artificially sweetened ass.
Fookin' Flu
looks like we brought it back from our trip to the Art Institute in Pittsburgh. The admissions director we had a conference call scheduled with tonight to go over everything had to cancel because she’s got the high fever, body aches, hideous cough. So relieved I don’t have to sit upright and talk about financial aid for an hour tonight, which begs the question why the hell didn’t...
Now I have it.
My chest burns, and the coughing feels like it’s ripping flesh from bone. I’ve been awake all night, but intermittently dozing off into crazy dreams for a few minutes, then looking at the clock again. Lila asked to climb in with us at 5:00, which turned the bedroom into a furnace with two feverish bodies lighting it up. Ugh. Make it stop.

Spring sick, here we go
When I picked Lila up at her friend’s after work yesterday, she was on the couch under a blanket with a fever. It’s now up to 103 and she’s losing her voice, so we’re staying home today. Fortunately, I brought some work home with me last night, so I can at least put a few hours in on a project I haven’t had time to touch while in the office, and have been too fried to...

I was going to participate

and then I tried “fuck yeah root canal” and I didn’t post that hot mess.
FUCK YEAH YOU’RE WELCOME

No idea how to write this cover letter. It’s for a part-time seasonal job in my community that I’ve been doing for two years as a volunteer to cover for the person currently in the position when they go on vacation. The hiring committee consists of that person and two others I know well. They’re posting the position because it’s the way things need to be done in a 501c3,...
